Hi all! Anyone have a good closed captioning service that adds captions in Spanish with a Spanish VO? We have two videos, one in English and one in Spanish, and they both need captions. I have the scripts but don’t feel comfortable and we want to make sure it is correct. Side note: We were going to use Rev but they don’t do captions in Spanish and one of their sales people just sent me a very snarky email.

Was so close to switching from IT Audit to software engineering and then a global crisis occurs. Tough to keep my head up.

What are the best consulting firms for marketing and/or sales strategy work?

Trump is a branding and marketing genius. I mean, how else do you explain a two-bit con artist from NY being able to convince small town Karens and Kevins, esp in middle America, that he’s their savior? As much as I despise him, I have to give him credit for hoodwinking so many people.

Randomly selected for additional screening for the 4th week in a row. This time I had my upper thighs/crotch violated by a tsa agent in full view of other passengers. Feelin' great 👌🏻

Anyone else get nauseous when they can’t see out of the window on a plane? Sitting here in the middle (unfortunately) and the person in the window seat just closed it 🙃

Client onboarded a new manager almost a year ago but the resource still pulls the “I’m new card.” I am SO tired of their growing attitude to let things crumble instead of escalate, have tough conversations, and pretending they don’t know what they are doing when we’ve been having the same conversations 20 different ways and behind closed doors they understand and discuss the issues. Personal life is a mess and I am losing patience bringing solutions and documenting all of these issues.

Just have to say this. I broke myself in the last month (my head, not my bank). Outlook has done 180 degree. Attitude is maintaining barely. Considering getting out of consulting and into industry. What are good companies that do digital transformation / software creation that don't require a move to Cali or Washington or anywhere at all?

My only issue is with the TC. Hard to beat $170,000 in industry without being in the bay, Seattle, or some other hub of stench and population.

Made out with a super hot Aer Lingus pilot on Saturday. Lots of texting but had to tell him it would never work in the long term because he's One World and I'm Star Alliance. #consultantproblems
