@peter agree on the drinking part. and about the islands of satisfaction in a sea of hard work.

I'm not saying that that design work (the results) should be personal expression or a personal playground.
But I think that the creative connections (personal) you come up with through the design process (univeral & personal methodologies) in the service of your client (their business and objectives), is ultimately, a personal endeavor.
...
I get the service industry part, and coming up with efficiencies based on client constraints via design is awesome. Strive to do your best for all of your clients within their limits and yours.
But giving away logos no better than clipart because you're just pulling something out the archives, and continually making excuses for disrespectful clients is not "the Business of Design".
That's where I'm calling bullshit.
How can you call that design?
Don't slam your designers for trying to implement basic design strategies for projects and call it "work".
