Besides my 'Tickle Watchers' blog, I write for a professional (but new) anime website. My job is to write reviews, articles and anything that basically interests me about anime, manga and sometimes video games.
To say "I love it" would be an understatement, but there is one problem.
I work under two guys. One's an alright dude, but the other seems to be an idiot. I shouldn't say that about my boss, but it seems to be true. I would send an email to both guys and they would respond, but every time my second boss would respond, I would get the feeling that he never even read my email to begin with. It's like he ignored the question or the reason behind the email.
For instance I did a little volunteer work for Funimation and they rewarded my efforts with a free copy of Strike Witches. I wanted to thank them by writing a review for the anime, but I had a problem. I was going to include a link to watch the anime legally and for free online, but only two websites were showing the two seasons for free and neither one was Funimation. Needless to say I didn't know if it would be appropriate to send people away from Funimation or not considering I had written the review as a way to thank them for the DVD. Well I asked my bosses what they thought and the first one gave me good advice, while the second completely missed the point of my question. Instead he told me to always include 3 pictures for my reviews.
How does that help me?! I already knew that! He beat it into my head so often...
So what about you guys. Do you write emails for bosses who are idiots or what?
