In this week's edition of "We Should Have Known Better," we cover Liam Neeson's latest Old Man Neeson actioner, THE ICE ROAD (3:05), this year's early winner of the "It Wants to be 'The Wages of Fear' or even 'Sorcerer' but it's Really Just a Turd" award. Perhaps that's harsh, but as scary as Canadian ice roads are in April, even scarier is the prospect of a movie filled with half-baked ideas, crummy special effects, and a villain who has more lives than the Energizer bunny. It's just wretched. But man, was it fun to talk about! Next is FALSE POSITIVE (19:12), which star Ilana Glazer wrote with its director, John Lee. Who doesn't love pregnancy horror? In this case, two of us. As Dave puts it, this is a movie that offsets each good idea it has with a bad one. But one of us liked it! (And though he didn't mention it in the episode, Dave likes Pierce Brosnan's beard.) Lastly, it's NO SUDDEN MOVE (40:20), the new Steven Soderbergh thriller starring lots of his favorite people, including Don Cheadle and Benicio Del Toro. It has a little bit of everything, and screenwriter Ed Solomon is a loooong way from Bill & Ted. And in this week's Patreon exclusive audio, we talk about WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?

Being bored at work seems normal. Studies indicate 43% of office workers are bored - many hoping to find a new job. So if you are bored, then note that you are normal. Now - does that make you feel any better? I thought not. So what do you do? Quit and find another job? Some of you will take this path, only to quickly be bored again. So instead of quitting and starting again at a new place, maybe there are creative ways to make boredom go away. Are You Bored at Work? (podcast outline) What to do when you are bored at work? Want to stay in current job - just wish I was less bored Embrace it. You do not have to work too hard. Maybe that is OK. Explore. Look around and become curious about what is going on. Get away from your desk (or normal job) and go learn about what others do. Stop doing so much. Often we are bored when we are not using our gifts. A person who likes movement would prefer sweeping the floor or walking around taking inventory vs sitting at a desk. And some are the opposite. For me - I am NOT a details person. My eyes glaze over as I get into the details. So I have stopped doing many of them and now I focus on strategy. Tell your boss “I am bored at work - what else can I do. The boss SHOULD want to fix it since bored people eventually leave or totally disengage. Quit doing so much. Maybe you are bored with busy work and do not have the time to THINK. Really would like to leave - but (there is always a but) Set some goals. What do you really want? Where do you want to be? If money is holding you back - do the math. Vested retirement? So many years to retirement? I was told “15 more years of this crap and I am out.” Really? Just do the math and make a decision on the numbers and not the emotions Look outside. Often we are scared to even look. But look. Check out my podcast on Hidden Jobs. Look inward. Many companies have many options inside. Just because you work for Lockheed does not mean you are stuck. Get creative. What can you do on your current job to give it life? Can you automate it? Can you take a course to do it better? Closing We all get bored from time to time - but staying bored is not a win for anyone. You will give up on things and become disgruntled at work, and at home. You will be that grumpy old man or woman. But even bigger - think about the example you are setting to your kids or family. Do you want to have a legacy or being bored at work or someone who made things happen?

This is a special live episode about the best Donkey Kong game, Donkey Kong for the Game Boy. The game begins as a faithful recreation of the Donkey Kong arcade levels, but after that, the roof flies off and the walls fall away... revealing a puzzle platformer with over 100 levels. This game also expands Mario's move set in an important way. Really? Just go play it. Huge thanks to everyone who came out to see us at the Midwest Gaming Classic 2018!

#TChat Radio is all new on Tuesday, February 5, 2013, at 7:30 pm ET (4:30 pm PT). You know the story. Once upon a time, companies courted new talent with the promise of a lifelong relationship. “Work” meant employment and job security for years, if not decades. But the romance has died, and for better or worse, we are so over it. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, an estimated 40% of all U.S. workers currently operate on a part-time or contract basis. And as Bersin by Deloitte says, “The contingent workforce is now a permanent fixture, so many elements of talent management, recruiting and engagement are being extended to these mobile “free agents.” Really? Just how well are companies rising to the occasion in this “highly scalable” new world order they’ve created? Are contractors still considered “second-class citizens” in most corporate settings? What’s being done by leading-edge companies to ensure that contingent workers fit into the culture and engage with the organization? During this week’s #TChat Radio and Twitter #TChat, we'll tackle these questions and more by taking perspectives from the enterprise and the individual contributor. Join co-creators and hosts, Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman and their informative expert guests: Greta Roberts (@gretaroberts), CEO at Talent Analytics Corp., the leader linking “raw talent” with business performance using analytics. Dawn Rasmussen (@dawnrasmussen), Founder of Pathfinder Writing and Careers, a boutique resume writing and career management company. You won't want to miss it so we hope to see you here!
Is PETA correct in stating that the 13th Amendment banning slavery should apply to Orcas? Is suspension enough discipline for news analyst Roland Martin based on his super bowl tweets? And tolls at the midtown and downtown tunnels connecting Norfolk and Portsmouth - some now say its a racial issue. Really? Just some of the topics our pundits will tackle on the next Another View Round Table. Join Roger Chesley, columnist for the Virginian-Pilot; community activist Bill Thomas; and journalist, talk show host and author Wil LaVeist as they share their wit and wisdom on Another View, Friday, February 10 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or stream us at whrv.org.
