“I’m surrounded by mediocrity.” At least boss Ari admits it and confronts it. Before I quit my last job, the CEO gave a Friday address and said, “We have eliminated all mediocrity from the company!” I quit after demonstrating to my manager’s manager that my code ran over 126 times faster than a coworker’s code. And my manager wouldn’t allow my code into test, even though he was ordered to do it. At the end of the meeting, my manager’s manager said, “I guess we don’t need the speed.”
Simple rule: when you are in a dead-end job, get out. Do not stay and support mediocrity with your labor.
Dear God, yes, Gibson, not Seagull. Seagull’s as angry as a Seagull.
People recognize their own faults in others and tolerate them less than the ones they’re not familiar with, as a rule.
I think that’s why mommies are too apt to excuse their little boys and daddies their little girls – we just aren’t terribly good at knowing what the opposite sex is up to. I got stories from being in the minority of dads watching kids at the playground, let me tell you – we all knew what some toddling creep was about to do just as the moms erupted in a collective of coos at how cute he was – sometimes we even rushed to catch someone about to be hurled from the slide whilst this was going on!
you’re actually on to something there. i’ve implied, but far too subtly that there’s some stuff going on here that relates to that. maybe i’ll do a Q&A once the comic is done and blow all your minds to the back of the auditorium.
Ari is a delightfully manipulative boss. Seagulls better at being manipulative, though, like one of those British sergeants Bernard Cornwell captures so very well, only charming to the last – he’s a male Princess Leia.
you mean gibson? i don’t think seagull is very charming or manipulative. which is odd, cause he’s more like ari than anyone else, but get more abuse from him.

i think mediocrity is once of those words that morons use uncritically. that’s certainly my intention here.
and i agree with you about not over indulging someone else’s call to ‘end mediocrity’ by giving away your labour.
