So, after almost 9 years I've been told the two design positions where I work will now be made into one – redundancy is on the cards. I have to compete with the other designer for my job and thinking, is there any point? Time to move on?
I think I've learnt more from QBN about the design industry over the last however many years than I have working here to be honest.
- sometimes situations like that are good impetus in making you do something different yep.fadein11
- Yeah man, completely. Just working out whether i want to even compete against a colleague for our jobs.Ianbolton
- Add swear words to all his/her lorem ipsum in visuals before sending to client. You'll keep your job no worries ;)microkorg
- Seriously thought thats a shitty position to be in to have to compete.microkorg
- they're going to look at our appraisal forms from the past few years, attendance then manager's recommendations/revi...Ianbolton
- It's bullshit.Ianbolton
- I'm a creative, he's technically an artworker, both working under the same Graphic Designer roleIanbolton
- Sorry to hear, man. It'd be amusing if you both decided not to bother competing for the position...detritus
- He's creative too you silly.bainbridge
- Both of you quit.bainbridge
- how'd it go?Gnash
- We have our separate interviews with management next week. Outcome the week after.Ianbolton
- Can't both quit because we wouldn't get our 8 year redundancy payout.Ianbolton
- what's a redundancy payout -- is it like severance?Gnash
- yesfadein11
- yes - confirmedIanbolton

I will be eternally grateful to my father for convincing me to buy the garage down our house, now i've got a big studio and living space connected with our garden thanks to him...
Thanks a lot, dad!!
- nice - would love a studio in the garden for music, art etc.fadein11
- pffft, I thought parenting was supposed to be difficult. Build a big studio / living space connected to your garden. Hardly rocket science.Fax_Benson
- :)Fax_Benson
- The house didn't come with the garage underneath it? :)monospaced

A "friend" texted me last week and asked me if I'd design a logo for some project she's doing. I don't think she was offering money but she's nice and I don't mind helping her.
When I agreed, she thanked me and said she'd email me the details later that day.
A week later I still haven't gotten the email or heard back.
Do I follow up? I assume she never sent it but part of me thinks she sent it to the wrong person and now thinks I blew her off.
- Hey "friend", i never go that email, did you send it to bainbridge(@)badmofo...capn_ron
- .comcapn_ron
- Text her and ask if she still needs a logo.monospaced
- She hot?pango
- ^ key question right there Pango. We all know what kind of payment you'd like manIanbolton
- Chase it, because otherwise she'll leave it to the last minute, making the entire experience painful, awkward and still unpaid for.detritus
- Check your spam folder.monoboy

I'm at one of those points in life where I want a complete change.
There's an industry reaching fruition point that I've always been interested in, since a kid, and I reckon I could re-task to it within a year.
I could either sell-up my work assets and try and chance it with some web and whatever-bullshit-design work to aid continuity, but at my age... well, some of my youthful arrogance is gone.
I have days where I really hate what I do, and all the days that make up for that are ones already long-since trodden.
- To the First World Problems thread!detritus
- HAPPY FRIDAY, KIDS!detritus

ha.detritus - I am pretty happy with my choice to get out. Doing something new can give you a new outlook, you can always go back to your old job with better perspective.eryx
- ah, haha - now there's one person on QBN who's made a drastic change over the years! :) I've "twice-since being a 'designer'" made a change already.detritus
- ..I'm not sure I should luck for a third.detritus
- me too. i'm considering becoming a mailman and getting a pension when i retirecbass99
- haha, when I was younger I knew two competent, touring, DJs whose other job was being a mailman. Strange, interesting folk. :)detritus
- Sometimes, this job can be very frustrating, but i think when you get old and get the things in perspective... All the jobs become frustratingOBBTKN
- You are not married, and no kids... Try it for a time, but don't sell a stuff you can not buy later again... Don't burn your bridgesOBBTKN
- who downvoted this? some weird people on here.fadein11

- Sorry about calling you a prick earlier - yours was the first thing I read on the internet this morning and I thought you were riding my ass. xdetritus
- ..you are a prick though.
We all are.detritus - Go to one of those please where all the cool kids found enlightenment. India?pango
- Fuck no, I'm an internet-addicted consumerist who needs to be surrounded by western civilisation. I don't need to find myself. I found myself, I'm a cunt.detritus
- ..and I'm ok with that.detritus
- try a new gender? i hear it's all the rage these daysscarabin
- What other jobs would you like to do?Hayoth
- I've been to India. worst place ever, there is no enlightenment there. I don't understand why people say this.sofakingback
- I think a lot of people in our field struggle with what you're saying. I would love to do something else. Every time I try, it keeps pulling me back in.sofakingback
- Never been to India. Just kept hearing all those new age spiritual people kept saying it.pango
