Rant: Binged a show about a micromanaging boss and it hit too close to home

Man, those shows get it right sometimes. I remember watching one where the boss would hover over everyone's shoulder, checking every little detail. It brought back memories of my old job where the manager insisted on approving every email before sending. You start to wonder if the writers have hidden cameras in offices or something. The drama might be exaggerated, but the core feeling of being watched is spot on. It's why I can't look away even though it stresses me out.

I used to laugh at the idea of using a toothpick for shutter tension, but not anymore.

Old camera repair guides often mention using a burnt matchstick for spring adjustment. Toothpicks can splinter and leave fibers in the mechanism. I learned this after a dry toothpick snapped on a lens spring. Now I prefer using rounded bamboo picks for this kind of fine work.

PSA: Writing down my weekly work helped me during salary talks.

Seriously? I tried the weekly log thing and it totally backfired. It made my work look tiny and boring when I read it back, just a list of small tasks. My boss would just ask why the big projects took so long if I showed all the little steps. You're better off just remembering the few big wins you had, not every single thing you did on a Tuesday. That detailed list can actually hurt your case more than help it.
