This is by way of a bit of agony aunt action.

A friend in comedy dealing with the breakdown of a professional workflow where the person she was working with (a producer) had been rude and mean to her asked me how to deal with it, and when I said “they’re being unprofessional”, she was shocked that I had framed it as an issue of their professional relationship, rather than as it pertained to their friendship (“that’s mean”). I recorded these thoughts.

Let me know if this works for you or is complicated - this is literally minimum viable effort and can be done entirely on my phone in the dark, so if it does work, it’ll be very doable even when I’m completely exhausted.

Is this NFT fungible? 😂

I really liked this, including night time sound of it--gives you space to not have to be so tight with an argument. I also agree with you about professionalism/friends. I saw this in academics, and now in publishing. I think the arts and contract work are particularly bad, but the casualization of work culture is everywhere and confusing. I think what you said in the postscript is the real issue for me. We talk about equity and wanting to make work places more inclusive/diverse. But I don't think people want to admit that that might require more rules and agreed upon etiquette about what it means to be professional. You're not just doing it for yourself, but for the next person that needs to be able to disagree and not be seen as "difficult." Looking forward to more NFTs.

No, to be fungible it has to come from the Fungible region of.... :)

Tired Alice Cast, don't think it would take much for this to be ASMR. Does half a glass of water now become half a glass of milk?

I like this form of communication. A nice change from the written posts.

Are we meant to know about a (seemingly) ritzy address in Vaucluse? Just wondering...

I love anything audio - podcasts, audiobooks, music - I try to fill my ears with as much as I can - so this was right up my street. Thanks Alice xx

Parallels here between when you volunteer for something and when that becomes something that is paid for. Interesting thoughts here. More please - but only when the mood takes ye...

You say 'Let me know if you like it'. Yes I do, I love it. I love just hearing your voice, although the whispering night time feel is so soothing I have to remember to stay awake and listen too. I would listen to as much of this as you feel able and willing to post. As to the subject matter my main thought is about the difference between 'Behaving in a Friendly Way' and 'Being Friends'. It's so easy to interpret the former as the latter and at some point down the line use the misinterpretation as a power tool.

This is so insightful and good advice etc, so definitely like these. Also would listen to nonsensical NFTs too though, it's a way of knowing a bit that you're there still, hopefully ok.

I really appreciated this. I'm in a office job for state government, and felt this still applied to my realm as well. Good food for thought, thank you.
