    Recently I received applications every day and I don’t even have a casting call up. If you could see what’s in my inbox. Leaves me speechless. From 0 to 100. I mean photos worse than you ever imagined to the opposite.

    • Cool story, bro. You receiving nudes too?NBQ00

    Just typed a client's surname into Windows Explorer Search and pressed enter, not really looking at the screen 'til it refreshed, and when it did, my search term had been changed to 'Zion', with no results.

    I've just had a small joint and so had a genuine What The Fuck? moment. I didn't type that!

    .

    Then I remembered that a week or so ago I was searching another directory for music from 'A Silver Mt. Zion'.

    Still doesn't really explain why Windows decided that I wasn't searching for what was searching for.

    Bennn, update on the car?

    • No, he now updates his photos only in #toyotainthesnowOBBTKN
    • Somebody told him the ancient truth to shovel the snow before and after the parking spot, and your car will never be alone again.sted

    City haven't cleaned the snow yet, the street is a mess, we received another 12cm this morning

    Maybe i should setup a live webcam so you guys can follow this closely

    • Thanks!Krassy
    • aaah so the sole purpose of that car is to measure the thickness of the snow.

    That moment when you flip/ mirror a selfie of your face and you suddenly feel so ugly because in real life your brain adjusted looking in the mirror so you appear prettier.

    • If you felt pretty by looking in the mirror in the first place you're already crushing it.
      Live your truth!

    Just after some advice here...or maybe not.

    I was a member of a private sporting club for many years - 20+. As time and finances dictated, I changed membership category so that I was still a member but couldn't use most of the facilities on a regular basis. Still had to pay a fee.

    My finances have taken a bit of a hit in recent times...so I was on a quarterly payment plan. Ended up falling a quarter behind...lonmg story short the club ended up striking me off as a member.

    Now I didn't agree with it...but respected their right to protect themselves financially. I ended up appealing to the Board directly to see if the ruling could be overturned.

    They responded with a firm no...saying after considering my payment history and "all the information gathered over the years" the actions stood.

    When I read the "all the information gathered over the years" part I blew my top. Have never been in trouble for anything...ever. Have represented them many times. Never a problem. Only my payment history.

    I wrote back demanding clarification as to what this meant. No answer.

    But this is almost fucking slander if it's been discussed at a Board meeting...using information that I obviously have no clue about and which must be untrue.

    Not sure if anyone can offer anything...probably just wanted to get off my chest. I'm livid.

    • Eh... I can understand how that 'over the years' statement would sting a bit and maybe even feel like they're just covering their ass for possibly...PonyBoy
    • ... overreacting to the lack of one payment. It makes me wonder though if I'd really want back in given the way they're treating you. Not sure I'd fight it.PonyBoy
    • You stopped paying for membership at a club and did so slowly over time. You also stopped using the facilities over time. You’re not a member.monospaced
    • However... if you're concerned you and your family's rep is under ridicule w/out reason (slander)... maybe share the letter w/an attorney for advice?PonyBoy
    • lol... you sound so fucking Republican, mono... I wouldn't expect you to be so heartless here. Dude's a member for 20+ years and misses 1 payment...PonyBoy
    • ... I'd give him a second chance.PonyBoy
    • Keep your head up and move forward, find an other club where you will actually attend and pay the membership fee.sted
    • As I said, I've been an ordinary payer for a while - quite a few years. Always pretty late. But I've always ended up paying.BusterBoy
    • No issue with them striking me off for the financial stuff. Well within their rights. It's the "all the information over the years" that pissed me off.BusterBoy
    • And I don't want to go back after this. But I want to protect my bloody reputation if they're using other "information" I don't know about.BusterBoy
    • I'm just ranting really...but I want a freaking answer from them.BusterBoy
    • always pretty late paying + lack of presence
      = no reputation. but you insist. let it go.
      sted
    • It’s not one of Bridget’s slush fund clubs is it?MrT
    • sted...can you read? They have insinuated it was for reasons other than financial. BTW non playing member is a proper category. So presence is irrelevant.BusterBoy
    • lol you don't get it :) they don't give a damn about the money, because you are a cunt.
      and i guess that's nothing new

    Anyone here ever had sinus surgery? What was recovery like?

    • When I was about 7. All I remember was that I got to eat ice cream and jelly for a week or so after. Not much use to you, I imagine.Nairn
    • I don't need an excuse to eat ice cream and jelly all week.i_monk
    • got referred for it a few years ago, went for the consultation and the surgeon made it sound so grim i'd continue self-medicating with ibuprofen and cigaretteskingsteven
    • was just walking in the cold wincing at car headlights cursing myself. will need to get it done at some point ffskingsteven
    • I'm going in for it at the end of the month. I've heard having the packing pulled out a few days later is absolutely the worst feeling.i_monk

    Been working on a huge project for several months that was supposed to go live in two weeks on an international expo, and the whole thing w as just canceled due to the corona virus. Months of building a campaign, a massive booth, interactive demos, live mobile based experiences, video, print, digital, social. It's all over.

    • I'm both incredibly frustrated, and somewhat relieved. Really mixed emotions.monospaced
    • Ah shit, sorry dude, that's brutal. Will it be postponed to another date?PhanLo
    • The whole event is off this year. Next February it is!monospaced
    • What kind of person downvotes this? It's a design industry forum no?monospaced
    • I hope you got paid at least. Also don't worry by next year they will want to whole thing changed.eryx

    • and yes, who downvoted this?OBBTKN

    • Here, have an upvote.deadsperm
    • Me too! Stuff I worked on for LG and Qualcomm. It's weird to go from frantic to full stop.hellrod
    • Exactly.monospaced
    • I'm really sorry for you guys. No worries about the tools made for the event. Take care about how you're going to divert that disappointment to something usefulsted
    • I was really looking forward to seeing it take physical form. It's nothing until it's real and all the parts come together. The booth I collaborated on was epicmonospaced
    • Maybe you can mock it up in 3D, or use elements for a case study, even make a conceptual composition for the full stop, rather than using text only to explaincanoe
    • @canoe, we have all of that already :) it's just nothing compared to the physical build, with real lighting and all integration and interactivity going live.monospaced

    All I wish is more everything and less nothing, free beer and eternal life + 1 for everyone. And 100 pairs of golden shoes and no leg to put on, in a 3 storey castle where spasm is the only movement, for everybody else.

    What a small world it is - I've just had a client come and pick up some awards I'd cut for him, for some fashion illustrator thing. Get to talking and it turns out he's been trying to invite someone to attend the ceremony who is an illustrator that taught some great names in fashion at CSM a while back - the likes of John Galliano and such.

    The guy he's looking for is my neighbour, whose fence I need to fix this week after it blew down during the storms last weekend. I knew roughly what sort of thing the guy had done, but I didn't quite appreciate his rep... .

    • that's pretty coolmonospaced
    • Ey, can we look at his work? Always very interested in fashion illo, my F planOBBTKN
    • I'll happily send you an email to it, OB - bit wary about posting anything directly. How can I reach you?Nairn
    • just send you a mail to a old e-mail address I've used years ago, thanks!OBBTKN
    • Got it, and responded!Nairn
    • Maybe wait for this Dennis storm to pass before you fix the fence. Else you’ll have to do it twice.shapesalad
