Lately, I've been working "with" the guy otherwise known as Anywhere But Here, and it's been challenging because, well, he's anywhere but here. Such is life sometimes in Cube City.
Luckily, I've also been working with an intelligent cube dweller who's had to deal with Anywhere But Here, and we've helped each other guess what he wants us to do. The intelligent cube dweller shared some pretty cool and relevant videos with me in hopes that they might spark some ideas for our project. She sent the video links to me through email and copied Anywhere But Here on the thread.
A few hours later, I noticed that Anywhere But Here was posting familiar, if not verbatim, quotes from those videos as his Facebook status! It was rather shocking and enlightening to see that he directly lifts his insights from other people's work. That's plagiarism!
It's amazing how perceptions can change in an instant. All this time, I thought he had interesting things to say about the marketplace. Now all I see is a criminal who can't think of his own thoughts. It's alarming.
This is just one example of why I choose to be blissfully unaware of most things in Cube City. I become really irritated when I accidentally become aware of the truth. I'm just glad that I am not Anywhere But Here.

the truth can be so very disappointing.
a while back i worked with another Much Revered Creative guy. it wasn't too long before i realized that i never saw him put forward anything more than pen sketches (which he insisted were ground-breaking and brilliant). the truth: he didn't actually know how to use photoshop. lame.
