Damn, we're spoiled.

Munc, can I ever relate to your post! Everyone in TV is so spoiled and it is so pristine (and I love it there). After spending from Oct 2007 until April 2008 in TV, what a shock to leave the bubble and return to the real world.
I had to learn to live again with teenagers with blaring music and pierced everythings. The "finger" is a very common road signal. Trash abounds in the real world. There are weeds and homeless people and road kill. When you're an "old person", young people just look through you and don't even see you. I hadn't appreciated how pleasant life in TV really is.
No point to this post, other than I can hardly wait to return to the reservation. It is true that it isn't the "real world", but it is a great one!
