client: hey can you do X? and come out to Y 9-5 for a month?
me: sure. the only thing is though I don't design web stuff in photoshop. Do you use photoshop?
client: We use whatever it takes to get the job done.
me: GREAT!! ...so do you use photoshop?I mean seriously why can't they just answer a god damn question....

i think the idea is to say nothing while speaker so they can't be held accountable

yeah so I am gonna drive a commute 2 hours to and from work everyday ..... so that I "can't" do the job......??
a) no I use fireworks and fuck all the naysayers... that extract a pixel shit to make a non-dithered box is the dumbest shit I have ever heard..if photoshop handled boxes and move layers with send to back, bring to front AS WELL as the layer crap....then I would use it....
b) yes, its mostly about the question and answer thing.... how they never give you a direct answer
c) its not petty.....if they sit me down in a cubicle....tell me to design something and they say heres photochop..I will get up an leave.....I want to make sure I can do the job....is that so wrong?
d) how the hell do you design on a laptop????

i use fireworks as well, but if a client requires photoshop source files, it's pretty easy to export to psd. granted, it exports grouped items as a single item, but if you don't use too many filters, then ungrouping things shouldn't be a big problem...

you use the GiMP? haha
Wouldn;t be surprised if Fireworks just goes away soon though liquid.

liquido you must be damn good to be able to tell someone where to stick photoshop, that said I agree with FW being better for web. Just your attitude would get you a european size 8 up ye jacksie in my company any day.

I used to use Fireworks for all web work (and flash layouts because it exports so well to Flash) but just forced myself to give it up because Photoshop is just so mainstream.
Unfortunately now more than ever is time to make the leap!
ps. I've worked with so many people like you're talking about in design agencies and non-corporate. Same idiots in all walks of life :)

you think the Design Industry is bad? you should try the Replacement Dildo Parts Industry!

I've been designing on a laptop for some time now

if you are freelancing, why not plug your laptop into one of their monitors?

i'm not happy about what this western world is amounting to either.
can't we be developed without marketing and targeting people for their brainlessness?
do you realise advertising is the exploration of people's stupidity?
i do. and i'm not taking any part on this.
i'm an idealistic-vegetarian.

maybe you should be less sheepish on the phone and get your answer before hanging up, the reason you most likely let that occur was because you do want the money and your attitude too
tell them you hate them for ignoring your question and see if they still want you to come out to Y
