I'll gladly be the scapegoat for the shittiness of whatever the fuck void it is that keep people happy on this site but in the end I'm only reacting to the material served by this here site.
Thank you for your milkshake.

I'm thinking I prefer the lizard brain over the monkey brain. Def cant be too much of either though. They work well together.

just back from a week in Benidorm, where the rooms were
cheap and there was a lot of tacky tat, got a good tan though.A basic room with full air con, expansion opportunities, close to beach
bright T-Shirts make good presents for family at home
this lady is stuck with a difficult choice
a 1,000 yard stare doll is not just for Christmas
the evening entertainment - sorted!
the Spanish dish alternative
I would have stayed in this hotel but it was full of pricks

Stayed in platja d'en bossa - Ibiza back in 2010. Looks exactly the same! The beach smelled like captain morgan, vomit and human shitmaquito

oh yeah, I forgot to add that I rented the villa from one
of Benidorm's top female impersonators Sheila Blige.
He/she was a lovely chap but insisted on leaving his
bloody dvd's + flyers in cupboards around the house,
I wasn't tempted to check his show but can tell you that
his boyfriend who drove me back to the airport went on
and on about how hot he finds it wearing tights/wigs etc, poor love.- Been-in-a-dorm?shapesalad

Remember I told you about that annoying client that suddenly didn't like some characters for a promo video that I did for them and they liked & approved it from the start. They even then admitted.
Well, I posted a last progress update about two weeks ago and they haven't replied at all ever since.
Fucking cunts. Thank god for charging 50% upfront. At least they didn't waste my time totally but they sure wasted their $$.
- Do all your work for free but ask clients to support your Patreon and subscribe to your social channels = the new capitalist model.shapesalad
- nice thinking if you have 1000 clients.fadein11
- I don't. But I don't mind getting rid of idiot clients.NBQ00

I've recently started to engage more with social media in an attempt to drum up business and I fucking hate myself for it.
sitting in my armchair on my phone, trying to think of hashtags to ascribe to shitty little images nobody's going to look at. Everybody's looking at some spanner in a too big shell suit or an inexplicably famous person's breakfast. But I've now spent so long on this that it would be a criminal waste of the dwindling hours I have left not to see it through to some kind of conclusion. 50 followers, for instance.

- Hahaha oh man. That’s why I gave up Instagram posting.HijoDMaite
- lolhotroddy
- hashtags only work if people search for that term right? In Instagram, search for #design. 10000000 results. great.shapesalad
- it's a snowball effect shape, if people engage with early posts then you rise up, everything internet is about good content at the end of the day, hash tags arefadein11
- just a cool.fadein11
- hashtags are so effective on Instagram, always think of combinations as well, niche and general.fadein11
- cool = toolfadein11
- Insta is all about the influencer (yes I hate that term). Make/do something cool and piggyback off the big hitters, only way in early daysfadein11
- yeah, that's the bit I hate. 'influencer' is instagram for total cuntFax_Benson
- my apologies, on a train and should have read that through properly as nothing was sending... hash tags are effective but early on not the best way of gettingfadein11
- serious followers.fadein11
- ignore the word influencer... just think popular person on instagram.fadein11

- True Fact: 98% of Instragram viewing takes place while a user is sat on the loo having a dump. (data source: me) #smellygramshapesalad
- it's the only social media platfrom I don't hate tbh, it's all about who you follow though as is all of them and life.fadein11
- cheers fadeFax_Benson
- I am no expert but it's been so effective for 2 businesses we run, but it is a slow burner until you piggyback off others. Again like life I guess.fadein11

A model I photographed for my book asked me to write a "nasty dedication" into her copy. Jeeezzz, I have no idea what to write that wouldn't get me in trouble.
- so write that "nasty dedication" and sign ;)renderedred

Sorry, pockets -- but posts and events like that annoy the shit out of me. Especially when people try to brag about it. The fact that shit like that has become the norm in the creative industry is just asinine.
Striving to do great work is fine, but to put your health in jeopardy because of it is absolute insanity.
- oh man he doesn't mentioned that it was a work related call, if you run your own business you can't quit on these things.sted
- I interviewed with one agency who told me we pretty much require our employees to work 60-70 hours a week then give you a $20g bonus at the end of the year.Hayoth
- ^ why not use the $20g bonuses to pay for more staff - so everyone works 40hrs and has health and time for a life?shapesalad
- I have no idea shape. Probably profit for the owners. The glassdoor reviews were some of the worst of a company I have ever read.Hayoth
- He was bragging? How on Earth did you read that?Nairn
- Some days are harder than others. Sounds like a tough day.DRIFTMONKEY
