    haha @ skt. Seriously though, don't sell yourself short. You steered me away from a couple bad ideas re: my website, and offered some great design input, for which I remain grateful. I hope we have the chance to work together again.

    Nostradamus, that is indeed very brave of you to say behind a pseudonym. I'd be very keen to hear who you know who's worked with me, and how in particular they found me to be an asshole. I ask because until I lost my job in February, I got along very well with all of my coworkers, clients, and vendors. I never yelled at anyone, stiffed anyone, nor did I ever engage in a power play. Sure I have my share of shortcomings, as partially evidence in this thread. I fully realize it wasn't a smart idea for me to publicly announce my frustrations with my former employer. But if you go back and read that thread, I didn't say anything disparaging about them; I was actually complimentary. My issue was that I simply wasn't making enough money there, and that there was very little room for growth. Nothing against them there, it's just the smaller studio model which works fine for them.

    That thread was really standard boilerplate stuff one sees around here, where people get the itch and decide to start looking for a new gig. But as many know, I was one of the rare ones who got snooped, and then preemptively axed. There was no litany of problem which led up to my demise. I was doing good work, on brief and on time. Clients were happy. Things were good between me and the boss. Then I opened my fat mouth on QBN and all the good will abruptly ceased.

    In short, I call bullshit. You simply don't like me (I suppose this goes at least as far back to our many discussions in various religious threads) and are reaching for baseless grounds to sling mud at me.

    • I'm also wondering now if it was you who tipped off my former boss.gramme
    • I'm also wondering why you care so much. Old friend?gramme
