I legit have my own version of Creed in the office (from The Office) who comes up to me and either talks about the time he got arrested when he was younger or how they are getting rid of all the old people in the office. He is tall and has balding white hair.

Love. It.

“Because they work. Wicked Local Newton reports a Newton resident actually wired money to Ghana to help somebody there obtain “two trunks full of gold.” Police did not report the amount the resident lost.”

Copyright Shenanigans

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 09:24:59 -0400

At my day job I work a lot with copyright permissions. When one of our medical writers wants to use a previous doctor’s research or graphics in a new article, I am responsible for contacting the copyright holder and paying them money so that they will allow this.

Tell me if you think these laws are redonk.

I paid a company $500 to photocopy and article to pass out at a meeting we were holding for our clients to help brief them on some new material. No real transactions going, purely educational, and yet we had to PAY $500 TO MAKE PHOTOCOPIES IN OUR OWN BUILDING.

It gets worse.

Next, the clients that were coming wanted to make our meeting efficient so they requested that we send them the PDFs of the material we will be discussing. Because of this I had to pay ANOTHER $500 to get permission to send the PDFs that we ALREADY PAID $500 for in order to show them this material.

None of this makes sense to me.

What do you think?
