2 hot takes:

1. The UK version premiere of SNL, including the ad parody, is 3x-8x better (read: funnier) than anything the US version has put out in the past 5 seasons (Weekend Update excluded of course, but you can see the glimmers of genius there brewing).

2. Tina Fey (100% knowing that the show couldn’t have happened without her…) was a distraction.


Discuss.

As an American that loves British humor you can’t accurately judge the general skits until half way through the season. The writers have had a long runway to develop them. Only once they’ve exhausted their bank of prior material and are forced to create them week to week is when we’ll get a better feel for the quality. Again, I’m referring to general skits that don’t rely on humor based on recent events.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't?

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
