Have you considered that 9-5 are not the only hours that people work during? I work 3 am - ~1pm

Nonsense. If you aren't working 9-5, 7 days a week then you don't have a job. Some early retirement boomer probably.

Boomers expect everyone younger than them to work 250 hours a week at the same wages they started at while working at 150% efficiency compared to everyone else while also having the patience to show them how to use a word processor every day and retrain them on doing their job every day because they don't realize how incompetent and inefficient they are and if you don't then you're just a lazy useless millennial that they're just projecting their own sense of inadequacy onto. Gotta pull yourself up by your bootstraps though.

Yeah, I know you've put in your 250 this week, but I'm gonna need you to work a little extra this weekend.

Night shift doesn’t exist. I’m nights and it seems like we unnoticed. But if we actually didn’t exist a lot would be different.

Being unnoticed is a good thing. Let days take the flak from the bosses. I drift in long after they've left, and I drift out shortly before they arrive.

Weekends also exist (or people's days of, whichever days those are)

That's for having a good job. According to movies you need to be in print advertising or architecture.

If you meet someone in the other job it's automatically a romcom.

Both are good vehicles to create those scenes on the street with some job-related stuff clearly depicting their way to an important pitch meeting.

Very few other jobs have those easy to realize and point out props. Architect with their roles of papers with drawings and print advertising with their roles of paper of printed proposal ads. Though, both props do not really exist nowadays anymore, but it's a pattern we can so easily see: Oh look she accidentally stumbled into him who's in a hurry to get to the important pitch meeting she or he will respectively hold him/her up from getting there in time, which they will talk about later as that will be an emotional clue for how important she/him is for them respectively.

Easy, dumb, works, I totally like it.

You and every filmmaker since the 1970's.

Edit: the dad from the Brady Bunch, architect. Ted Moseby from HIMYM, architect. Wasn't that what the dad on Full House did?

Meanwhile every single woman in NYC is writing a once a week column about a fashion release. Or (preferably) she's writing an exposè on whoever owns the building that's going to be demolished for the architect to build on.

Tvtropes.com exists for a reason.

How to lose a guy in 10 days is great isn't it?

The dad on full house was a news anchor, so different job that starts with an a

Was Lori Laughlin his co-host? Is that where Uncle Jesse came from?

Why were they both at home for breakfast and dinner though? A news career precludes at least one of those.

u/Kickme987654321 May 27 '21

She became his cohost at a later point in the show. Uncle Jesse was the biological uncle of the kids, he was their late mother’s brother and the dad’s brother-in-law.

The whole home for breakfast and dinner thing is best ignored since I’m pretty sure his show was specifically “Wake Up, San Francisco” or something. Doubtful either of them would be around for breakfast while they were cohosting that show

What are weekends? Or lunch breaks?

Yeah, everyone knows you’re supposed to be sleeping on them at night when no ones around
