Yes I do.
I am more relaxed and likely to get to the heart of various problems sooner. In situations involving micromanagement I expend energy being annoyed with the micromanagement.
Meetings tend to be distracting. The tendency to open work space and cubicles with low walls has the same effect. |

Thanks. |

Three's Company - that 'comedy' from the 1970s. John Ritter - may he RIP - grates on me in everything he did. |

The original CSI was fine throughout the Grissom run, and gets points for William Petersen, who is much more animated than the ever-earnest, almost righteous Gary Sinise. That being said, my favorite single season was CSI NY, season 1. The sets and the atmosphere had a much darker tone than either t... |

One that comes to mind is Robson Green's character Tony in "Wire In The Blood". |

I couldn't make sense of any of it, and thought it was me. Over time, I see it on more cinematic screw-ups lists, so maybe there really isn't much art below the surface. |

I am just finishing up season 1 of Revolution on DVD and understand that after season 2 of the broadcast (just finishing now), there is some question about season 3 renewal. I am on the fence about it, based on season 1: some good material and ideas, but it's inconsistent and sags too much. |

I love the Danish version of the series. I'm a big fan of the nordic crime drama in general, it is all so dark. Now it's getting to Spring I'm not sure it'll be quite the same watching The Killing - it being dark outside really adds to the atmosphere! LMAO, I know what you mean. I like to watch DVD... |

This weekend Amazon has Season 2 DVD on sale, so I bit the bullet (pardon the pun) and bought it, even though it is regular definition. The cold grey skies really need 1080p to bring out the detail, but I'll go with what's available. Everyone is saying that season 3 of the US version is good, so I a... |

I am a fan of the US version and have watched the first season twice through on BluRay. I'm not happy that season two is only available in regular def DVD, and have no info as to when season 3 might be available for those of us watching on disc. For this reason I have only seen season 1 so far. I do... |

I work part-time in hospitality by choice - mainly for a little extra cash and to get out of the house and see people (I work from home at a computer most days). It works for me because: 1) I do it on a limited basis. 2) I am involved in serving at large events - institutional dinners, weddings, etc... |

Recently Scandal, but prior to that it was The Walking Dead. Now I'm thinking of getting into Sherlock next. I have watched some Sherlock, but it is best appreciated if you already have some familiarity with the various stories, since the present day writers have woven multiple influences together.... |

Game of Thrones. When I first heard about it a couple of years ago I thought I wouldn't like it, but I had a change of heart and tried Season 1 Ep 1, and rather enjoyed it. I am hoping for the return of those odd cannibalistic humanoids out there beyond the wall. |
