burnt bridge on resume

I recently quit a job (after giving a month's notice) and let's just say the boss wasn't happy with things as I left them (no fault of mine!), and is now refusing to pay me in full for my last two weeks (not to mention the vacation pay and 1 week of termination pay owed), and declared he will pay my replacement out of the money he's withholding... I've already called the labour relations board, and there's the slimmest chance this will all be resolved peacefully...

But, what if it's not? This job is basically the only hard, real experience I have, and thus the only real reference I could put on my resume. What do I do?

home studio

I finally have a place with room for a home studio. It's something I've wanted for years, but never had the space for. Drawing table and light box are givens, but what else? Aim high or low, I need ideas.

They're pulling a Dominos by admitting how disliked they are, but promising it's good now. Gutsy, but I hope it's too late. Rot in Hell, IE.

Out of the blue today I got an invite to lunch with the boss tomorrow. That's a good thing right?

Love the sail and the knocked out script, but the wordmark just looks hokey. The aesthetic that works for Arabic writing does not look professional when brought to Latin lettering, in my opinion.

Wrapping a bus

I have a client who wants to wrap a bus. Anyone here have experience with that? Do they make die lines for buses? What sort of questions should I be asking/what do I need them to provide?

how much to charge

I don't normally freelance but this sort of fell in my lap this morning:

Direct mail piece, in letter format as I understand. Client estimates 2-3 hour job, but we'll see. Existing logo, etc.

thanks in advance

I need a website

And I want to build it myself. The last time I did this there was a thing called Flash that all the kids liked, iframes were cool to hate, and Web 2.0 was still Web 1.3 Alpha. But seriously I haven't done any serious work for the web in 8 or 9 years, and what I had done was pretty basic.

I want one of these "blogs" I've heard so much about, something I can update myself, post new work (I know portfolio sites are SO self-indulgent, but what's the harm?), etc. The easier the better, but I don't want some generic Blogger or Wordpress template, you know? Where do I start?

*braces for flames*

macbook refurbs?

I've heard good things from a couple of people about Apple's refurbished macbooks/pros. I mentioned this to our IT guy (yeah I caved and asked him) and he says everything he's heard says the refurb laptops are lemons, and most of them were returned because of hardware faults (because they're easier to return than a desktop).

Any actual refurb macbook users here want to set the record straight?

No serif, serif, or notch? not happy with the serif or notch yet, but I want to draw the eye up against the gradient with a visible termination point... haven't slept in 25 hours so that might be babbling.

Deadlines for clients

What sort of deadline standards does your agency, studio, whatever, try to hold its clients to? If Johnny Client calls you up and wants a complete brand overhaul by noon tomorrow, what do you do? How last minute is too last minute?
