I thought Frozen was underwhelming at best. It was entertaining but I expected something a lot better from all the hype. I guess that's my fault, though.

i knew nothing about it going in except that the snowman dude looked annoying and was pleasantly surprised that everything else was decent

the snowman and the trolls were still annoying as gently caress

I remember hearing people gush about how Frozen is feminist and lampoons the idea of "love at first sight" that is omnipresent in previous Disney films.

Then the trolls tried to force Anna and Kristoff, who had only know each other for a day or so, to marry each other in some sort of troll marriage ceremony. After that the "moral" kind of rang hollow to me.

I would have liked it a lot more if the prince hadn't turned out to be evil. But every movie needs a "bad guy" I guess

the point is that the trolls are idiots with terrible priorities
although p much everyone unanimously agrees that they and their song are the worst part of the film

Reposting from another thread because you're all cool & chill:

I have been with my current employer for three years, but I was accepted into Teacher's College and will be moving in August. I haven't yet told my company and my boss is out of the office until next week, so I plan to meet with him on Monday and explain the situation.

I'm hoping they'll let me work from home. With VPN access, I could do my entire job from my bed with zero drop in performance, and I could get all my work done on evenings & weekends with no trouble. Unfortunately, for the previous three years I have been a fulltime cubicle-dweller, and I am not sure if the optics of me working from home while attending school fulltime will fly. Even if my level of effort remains unchanged and my work remains consistent, they may prefer to have a new guy in the office just to keep up appearances.

My second choice would be to go on contract. I've never worked on contract and I'm not sure what kind of hit I would take to my income if my hours were being closely audited.

My third choice would be for them to fire me without cause so I can collect a severance and EI until school begins.

I have some leverage because there is a big release coming in mid-to-late August that needs my work, and I only need to give two weeks notice. Also, I'm going to teachers college and don't really care about using these guys as a reference in the future.

Any tips on how to approach this with the boss? I'm tempted to only float the first idea and give no indication that I intend to formally quit, only that I have already signed a lease and will not be able to come in to the office after August 1st. Or I could try to play hard ball with the upcoming release and the two weeks notice.

The crux of the plot involves true love between siblings, and the people who know every song by heart don't understand any form of love, sooooo... yeah

I know it's always been the case since long before modern times that when humans encounter a new thing one of their first thoughts is "I want to gently caress it", but I feel like parts of the internet have normalized a really aggravating and shameless form of that

Just be straight up with them and see what they say. Don't burn any bridges, you will want that three years of work on your resume, even if just to show that you've been in work and not farting about doing fuckall.
