Why Aren?t You Asking Questions?

It's the kickoff meeting. You are the lead designer on the project, and this is the first meeting with everyone in the room. Your client is reciting her wish list, and you're taking diligent notes – probably with cute, relatable doodles. An hour passes, and you've barely said a sentence. You're nodding your head, scarcely making eye contact. You have some thoughts, but you aren't speaking up. Why aren't you speaking up? You've likely been burned in the past. Perhaps you've shared some ideas and they were turned down. You have felt embarrassed in meetings. Projects that you put your heart and soul into were changed at the last minute without your consultation or discarded, apparently without a second thought….

“
Leaked SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING Call Sheet Confirms Bokeem Woodbine As The Shocker And More Roles Not too long after the true identity of Zendaya’s character was revealed, a call sheet for Spider-Man: Homecoming had surfaced online via Reddit from what appears to be a reliable source, although they have since deleted the original post from their social media. Anyhow, what’s revealed on the call sheet are many other surprising roles in the reboot. In addition to confirmation that Fargo’s Bokeem Woodbine will be playing the supervillain Herman Schultz, better known as the Shocker, the Homecoming call sheet also reveals that The Nice Guys’ young breakout star Angourie Rice will be playing Betty Brandt. Which may or may not be the Betty Brant that appeared as Peter Parker’s co-worker at the Daily Bugle not just in the comics, but also the original Spider-Man trilogy portrayed by Elizabeth Banks. Furthermore, the next cast members listed seemingly make up the faculty at Peter Parker’s Midtown Science and Technology School with Orange is the New Black star Selenis Leyva playing a Ms…

However, fans of the Warriors Three can stop worrying because both Ray Stevenson and Tadanobu Asano, who play Volstagg the Voluminous and Hogun the Grim, respectively, have been spotted on the Gold Coast of Australia where Thor: Ragnarok is currently filming. Asano had revealed his whereabouts on his own Instagram yesterday, while Stevenson was included in a different post by user PunkturedTatto who had captioned the photo, “Look who just stopped by our Gold Coast studio to get some ink in between filming THOR.”…
