Lounge vibes!!!
As of next week, my roomie is going to lose her job due to the writer's strike.

She has a job interview tonight. She really, really, really needs this. Basically, she cannot afford to live here without a job, so she'd be forced to move back home with her parents for the duration of the strike.

So please, good vibes for Jess?

3. Thanks so much!
I know she's far from the only one affected by this, but she deserves a little good luck.

4. Thank you.
There's always someone with problems worse than yours, it doesn't make your problems any less shitty.

I'll give you some return good vibes...I hope whatever's going on gets better!

6. wga strike is a mistake
the people that can afford it aren't the people getting hurt. South Cal is going to have a bummer christmas and shows will get delayed so obnoxious people can brag at starbucks. (sigh)

7. I disagree.
And so does Jess. The strike is a necessity. People are getting hurt, but the strike is going to ensure that the studios quit screwing everyone over. It's worth it in the long run.

17. oh really?
How much you want to bet the force majeure kills as many jobs as you think you'll save?

I hope you're happy when a ton of people suffer through the depressed entertainment economy this Chrsitmas.

To be working at all in the entertainment industry is a privilege as wga members come of as greedy.

I hope your fan bases for whatever you write still care a year from now. Pyrrhic Victory, party for 1?

I am affected too, bombasticus narcissus. I live in Burbank, CA and everyone knows this is bad bad bad.

Bad reatil, flooded job market, depressed holiday season. Thank you, greedy WGA members, enjoy your dough.

19. Wow...where do I start?
With your completely incorrect information or your assumptions as to my and my roommate's union status?

Actually, I'm not even going to justify your steaming pile of bullshit with any more of a response.

14. Congratulations, you have no clue what you're talking about.
The strike's not a mistake. There are some critically important issues that must be resolved, and resolved fairly.

And I say this as someone who's directly affected by the strike.

13. Huge positive vibes for your roomie.
Our firm (all entertainment law) is already starting to sweat a bit over the strike. Let's hope they resolve it soon.

In my case, it means no end-of-year bonus (which I really earned after two back-to-back trials this fall).

Good luck vibes for Jess!

24. Uuuugh
I'm so mad at the studios right now, I could spit. On them, preferably.

So sorry about your bonus. The ripples from this strike are astounding.

Thanks for the vibes!
