if you post a freelance job looking for a "Sr Art Director/User Interface Designer" you shouldn't have him doing 120x90, 160x90 banner ads for 2+ weeks, then, be excited to tell him "GREAT NEWS, WE HAVE MORE BANNER ADS FOR YOU!" when i'm obviously hungover as fuck.
i can't start my new job fast enough. good lord.

100% agree! holy fuck!

it really bothers me to have to complain about this, and i don't want to be a bitch about it, but fuck... i can't put any of this shit in my portfolio.
it's money yes but fuck me... they were asking for a designer with 6+ years experience... WHY!?!

do you mind taking this conversation to the OSFA's 100 room?
Thanks! ;)

(Jul 5 07, 08:53)until of course you get up at 6am to catch a 7:10 train which costs you $150 a month that gets you downtown at 8:15 from which you have to hop a cab that is $7 so you can get to work by 8:30 to do banner ads. then, repeat the process to go home.
i bet you'd get to about week 2 v5 and have the same feeling we do.
:/

I feel your pain man, at my former job I was coordinator of digital photography and ended up being plotter operator for quite some time and doing a lot of bs work, the money sucked ass too.

this sucks so bad and is such a drain i can't even enjoy all chicago has to offer.
i'm literally 2 blocks from the taste of chicago and i just can't bring myself to walk over.
maybe i'm just not good with crowds.

mmm, I feel like bbq ribs now

be the master of your own destiny, kona!
after you puke from reading those words...eeww..wipe your chin!
Ok. In this past year I made a decision that I would no longer engage in work that didn't propel me in the direction I want to go. Everything I do has to be to that end.
If you put what you want out there in the universe, have intense focus, work hard and have faith you will get what you need.

amen to that monkeyshine.
K0na the time is now.

(Jul 5 07, 09:09)almost 3 years ago i made the decision and left the job i had to go in the direction i wanted to go. i left that job because i was doing 90% banner ads and html emails.

k0na what happened to your last job? I thought you were happy there. Sorry if I've gone dark for a while and have missed copious threads about your sordid outfalling with the employment.
