my only advise is to never get attached to any of your work especially when you have a boss that hovers!!!
they always feel inadequate!! (spell check on that one)
they feel they need to control every aspect of the design process that maybe on day the designer (which is you) may on day go out and be better than they aare and actually pass them in the field, so they hover!
sometimes its a good thing when they actually teach you something that while you are there you wont be learning but when you do make that decision to bounce you realize you did learn something!!!
that one thing is integrity!!!
never settling is the second best motion you will learn!!
at least for me that is what happened! i had a boss that hovered like no-ones business!! at least he didnt smell bad! but in the end of the day i did learn, and i thank myself for not ignoring the chance i had when i was there!
i know i am rambling but there is a message in there!
i think you really need to set some real future goals for yourself. make a plan! a 5 years plan as a beginning! and start to let go, let it all go!
if your boss asks you to make a stroke or a box on the top! do it !!! yes it may not look good! or it may look cheap or well you fill in that blank! but let it go!! being attached to your work when really its just daily stuff will hold you back for the bigger picture that you want!
also if you make real time goals these little petty stuff become just random stuff that you can notch as experience!
at least when the day comes when you become the boss and you are running a team you know what it was that this guy did and really you may do just the same thing just adding your own flair!!
this is when you get aattached!
when it really is yours!!
believe me!!! let it go!!
you will be aa much stronger creative than before and you will go further than ever!!!
and nothing will be able to stand in your way!!!
i am saying this from my own experience, as i just left a job where i was nt going anywhere, but in the years i suffered, i learned and now i am the boss!!! now i make the rules!!
now i am attached because i am fighting for it everyday!!!
i hope you make it to this level soon as its very within your reach!!! just let the bs slide and move on!!
hope that helps!!!
good luck!!
