So, after my long and heartfelt post about why we’re stopping Human Resources, things have changed (which really shouldn’t be a surprise at this point) and we’re going back to Human Resources. Bridie and Amber met with Birrin (who was representing the other three disappointed and seemingly offended writers) on Friday to talk about it and the outcome was to forego Serial 2.0. At the end of the day, it is a little disappointing that we didn’t get to create something else (within the course), but it is more disappointing that we wasted a whole week on this kerfuffle and will now consequently be set one or even two weeks back in our original plan.
Overall though I don’t mind that we’re going back to Human Resources. I know that might seem incongruent to my previous musings, but at the end of the day, I just want to make something. In that way, I am happy to (and have to) agree with the majority/group decision, because no more time can be wasted on group politics or indecision. Furthermore, I have gotten to such a point of frustration within this studio that I now really don’t care about what the project is, I just want to move on and get it done. So that’s what we’re doing. I’m sure with this behind us we will be able to work coherently together and efficiently create something we are (hopefully) happy with.
