that they can say stupid crap like "do you get it? do you understand that?" all the time? its annoying. my boss just did that to me 5 times in a 5 minute conversation. i was probably bright purple. and then he tries to give me some kind of attitude like i'll put up with it. im being forced to make a chrome background for site i just comped and its totally going to ruin everything.
hes sucha yes man.
chrome guys.... uuuugh. ILLEGAL.

i thought i was the only one with a boss like that. one day i think i'm going to snap and say "yes i fucking get it!"
she thinks she knows everything, it's hilarious. she probably says "cascading style sheets" more than anyone i know.
she thinks when she says that it makes her sound cool or something.
*note she does web design also. (tries)

Does she read newstoday?? xD

I work in a place where I am the only one who knows about design or web. Usually its me who says "do you get it" and my supervisors nod pretending to understand why they really need to buy DreamWeaver for me to work on.

if i asked her that, she would say "no i don't read the seattle times"

they still haven't bought me dreamweaver though. guess what i use?

my boss got his job be default because the dood above him took off. hes admitted to me several times he knows dip squat about designing (he is a good programmer though).
and then he says "why dont you tyle the logo in the background too?"

you know sacrifice when you give your pride for a pension plan.
Tell your boss to give you more respect. And then it shall be.
I feel like Yoda.

"Don't use dark green, ok_static."
"Why?"
"I don't like it, use yellow instead."
"But I like it and seems it's more suitable for its subtleties."
"I don't care, use YELLOW."
"Yeah...alright, you're the boss."
2 weeks later...
"WHY YOU DON'T USE DARK GREEN , OK_STATIC?"

(day goes by)
they want it your way, but they pretend like it was their idea.

Naw...it's actually a left-brain right-brain conversation that happens everyday inside my frigging head.
