There's a very large truck winding its way through parts of Victoria...carrying some kind of huge piece of machinery. It's been dubbed the "superload".
Interested in it's route, I mistakenly typed "Super Load" into Twitter's search box.
Needless to say, the results didn't show too many trucks.

For y'all looking for design work, don't give up hope! I was fired due to the economic downturn eights weeks ago. Just a got a job offer, and a good one at that. As long as I don't fuck up the negotiation, I'm good.

Continuity reached out to me to see how I'm doing. I appreciate that. But he also inspired this post. I can't have the same conversation with people that I've had with him. It's TLDR and what I'm going through is too much for a format like QBN to have a really healthy discussion.
A lot of you have your own opinions on what's going on, whether you think this is all overblown and rediculous or if you are disgusted with what's going on in America right now. Have you ever stopped to talk to an actual African American person that is your actual peer about their view on the subject?
I'm thinking about just scheduling an open chat so everyone can participate and ask an actual person, what they're feeling and their experiences might be. Would that be helpful to any of you to get a grasp on this?
- I just wanted to say that I'm really grateful you took the time with me. I'll bet you're so sick and tired of having to repeat youself, and re-hash everything,Continuity
- ... and fight for basic respect. I learned a lot of valuable insights from you, and that can only make me a better person for it.Continuity
- Yes shellie. I’ve had this discussion with many black people I’m close to, and sadly, not the first time. The frustration over this same convo goes back decadesmonospaced
- I'm not sure what this all has done to your actual peers lives on a daily basis, though. Like, the problem follows me to work, everyone. Every day of my life.shellie
- I think most of you would be shocked what my industry experience has been because I am a woman and black. I know I shared my sexual harassment story here withshellie
- a major industry executive here in LA. But it doesn't just stop with sexist discrimination or harassment.shellie
- Some of us are worldwide, but mad af about all this, so whatever you needgrafician
- I've never asked for help from anyone. I don't need anything I've been going it alone this long. I want to help you guys understand what it's like so realshellie
- change can happen, specially for MY experience, in this industry that you are ALL in.shellie
- And that doesn't stop at the American borders.shellie
- I think a lot of allies and sympathizers don't know how to actually help or support. And I have some TLDR tips for that, if you care to engage.shellie
- As it shouldn't stop at the borders! I'm really sorry for all this and listeninggrafician
- History will just keep repeating itself...over and over again. Things will never change. Humanity will never learn from its mistakes, we are the virus.utopian
- ^ not if you think like that. as discuraging as recent events are. numbers of police shooting has dropped. accountability is being raised. there are progresse.pango
- people are pissed off because its still happening. so obviously more has to be done. i for one will admit i dont fucking know what works.pango
- all i can think of is to get involved with your local representatives.pango
- Lol shellie your the only black person I know. I would love to get insight for sure I just feel so disconnected from everything in the states.eryx
- I’ve been listening to friends and family about their experiences. I’d be open to hearing yours too shellie. Name the format, I’ll be there.ben_
- I would love to hear your view of this too. I wouldn't ask a person of color because they might feel uncomfortable talking to a white person.CyBrainX
- My GF asked her black coworker about it and he didn't want to talk about it at all.CyBrainX
- My wife's dad is biracial (black/white) and is adopted, his entire family is from Barbados and they're all over the map with wanting to share, as people are.ben_
- respect is key. One of her relatives told me, "Man I don't even know what to think, I'm in no position to talk right now."ben_
- I would love that but I have some really difficult questions.sted
- this is great Shellie. I'd ask what in your view would be an ideal world?_niko

Job hunting really is a soul-sucking thing.
I have 700+ connections on LinkedIn, and I finally decided I'm going to post a status update promoting my portfolio.
Now I'm stuck on fucking schoolboy insecurity questions: Should I? Will I look too desperate? Isn't this something a junior AD would do, and not someone looking for a CD job? OK, if I do it, should I use hashtags? What should I actually say in this post?
Don't fool yourselves: being long-term unemployed (6 mths for me) really hits your mental health hard, and makes you second-guess absolutely everything about yourself.
- think less. just do it.Nairn
- Over-thinking is actually what I do best.Continuity
- Just post the link to portfolio with a simple "See how I can help you:" and be done with it.shapesalad
- People love to help people they like.omahadesigns
- Thanks, chaps. This whole thing is something makes me super anxious.Continuity
- doit with stylested
- are you in contact with any pro creative industry headhunter?sted
- Gotta think a lil less about what the others think and just give it a go. Worst thing is you might get a job you're not too happy with. Still a job.pseud
- Gotta think a lil less about what the others think and just give it a go. Worst thing is you might get a job you're not too happy with. Still a job.pseud
- Sorry for the double post. Best thing you might get an awesome job.pseud
- You don't need hashtags on LI. Share the link with a quick story. Make it hopeful, something about what you've learned recently, maybe? Be positive.nb
- Do you have LI premium? It helpsnb
- @sted: yeah, but they've got nothing right now
@nb: I do that a couple of times a week. Very few reactions, and only a handful of views.Continuity - I feel you on the mental health part. Job hunting is soul crushing. So hard. Makes you think you never had talent, etc etc. Try to stay positive.nb
- @pseud (welcome to QBN?): you're not wrongContinuity
- Remember: you only need one job, and people only interview 1 to 3 people per opening. Make your goal to get that first interview. That's everything.nb
- Btw @Continuity I know some people at IXDS Munich. Keep an eye on their job openings, they're often hiring there. That's if you're interested in Interactive Despseud
- ign for car manufacturers :)pseud
- Cheers for the tip! I do classic/integrated advertising, though, so it might not be a good fit. ;)Continuity
- You don't have anything to lose. And make sure, to include a photo of yourself (muscles = strength).SimonFFM
- I think you need to stop being „too proud“ for certain things. Just go and hussle, ask for work, send your stuff to people and agencies. Have no shame.NBQ00
- We die anyway in the end and won‘t remember all our struggles so what does it matter, just go out there and try whatever you can.NBQ00
- Nah, it's the opposite of pride. I'm always embarrassed to show my stuff, cos I always feel like a hack.Continuity
- Who cares, everything is a hack. Fake it til you make it and hack your way out of the mess.NBQ00
- Think fast, punch hardi_was
- Do it! Don't give a fuck what others think. If people are interested they'll click on it. If not they'll not think negatively of you for posting it.microkorg
- .. certainly not worse than someone just re-posting some article someone else has written. Some folk just post constant shite on Linkedin like it's Facebook.microkorg
- Well, I did it. If we're connected on LI, pls show it some love with a Like. :DContinuity
- What's the worst that can happen? Be less worried about what other people might think. Just be honest. If you get criticised for that, they are assholesCalderone2000
- Also, apply for as many jobs as you can. Don't take too long on each one, I aimed for 16 applications per day. Keep a notepad and mark each application.nb
- If you apply 6 days a week, in two weeks you'll have applied for almost 200 jobs. Casting a wide net is a good idea. Don't worry AT ALL about rejections.nb
- There are a million reasons you get rejected, has nothing to do with you! E.g. many job listings are made for a specific person & aren't even really avail.nb
- I've been on hiring teams that have ultra-specific wants that aren't even in the job listing for legal reasons.nb
- Or some boss is like "let's just hold off hiring for three weeks until this client signs". Or "don't hire anyone without a Masters."nb
- If you think that's tough, consider that in the financial sector, there are some managers that ONLY hire people from Harvard. It's nuts.nb
- My point is: rejections feel bad, but you must ignore all of them because you can't know the reasons. REJECTIONS ARE NOT AN INDICATOR OF YOUR TALENT OR VALUE.nb
- I believe this deeply, and yet I still have to remind myself every single time I get a "sorry, we're going with other candidates" email. Just a fact of life.nb
- Yup, I know. Thanks for the kind words, though, I really appreciate that!
Just going to keep cracking on. German agency scene is so small, thoughContinuity - ... I'm running out of places to send my CV. :DContinuity
- Yeah I hear that, it's tough. I live in NYC so it's easier. I can hardly imagine what my pals in Canada are going through.nb
- You may want to look into companies that have extended WFH policies indefinitely. Maybe apply in other countries?nb
- I was thinking the same, I've been making the point that I'm totally open to working remotelyContinuity
- I've been in similar situation, 3 redundancies in 20 years. You always come back stronger, never give up...not ever :)mrAtor
- got a link to share?bulletfactory
- Do it. Believe in yourself. I see senior people post a lot. Keep going something will come up.pedromendez
- @bulletfactory: yeah, here's my LI post
https://bit.ly/3716C…Continuity - You have to self promote, because no one else is going to do it for you. Get that portfolio out and good luck brotha!instrmntl
- well fuck, i gave your contact to the headhunter who helped me to land a digitad job a at jwt in 2014. she is also looking for a job lol :)sted
- Hahaha cheers mate! Sadly, I've seen a few headhunters and HR people in agencies announce they're looking for new gigs lately. Ad industry is getting decimated.Continuity
- Im in the same boat as you. laid off back in Nov. This is probably the hardest our market has ever been hit. just keep grinding. the best we can do.desmo

I went to the first car boot (in the country?) of the year which had huge gaps between sellers, a one way system around the field, hardly any vinyl but... I did find a football for my dog Ruby so she'll be very happy to destroy it when I see her.

Anyone in here is doing car camping? Like in sleeping in your car instead of a tent.
Me and my gf are doing a lot of read trip every year and we would like a car with enough room so we can sleep in it.
I dont want a big van, i was thinking of a Toyota RAV-4 or something like that.
Any experience in here?
- five of us once spent the night in my old renault 5 on beachy head. i don't recommend it. get a vanhans_glib
- Sleeping in cars sucks. Fine if it’s an emergency but I wouldn’t plan a trip around itGnash
- yep, every single experience of sleeping in a car has been horrendous for me.fadein11
- The term ‘car camping’ usually just means you are bringing all your gear to a campsite in a car, instead of on your back or in a canoeGnash
- Anyway, don’t do it. Bring a tent and air mattressGnash
- https://10ts-tents.c…nb
- maybe you're right, i am just starting thinking about it, i haven't make any decisions yetBennn
- There actually was a crossover / hatchback car with a built in tent some years ago. Can't remember the name. Probably cheap as hell these days.nb
- https://www.thrillis…nb
- ^ Boom. Ahead of its time!!!!nb
- I’ve done it a bit. In hot weather it’s the pits though. Forester with the back seat folded down and an inflatable mattress.thumb_screws
- It’s ok for 1 or 2 nights but if you have a bit of kit with you, you end up sleeping wedged between all your stuff.thumb_screws

I think my dopamine receptors are fucked. After like 2 decades of internet every day, video games, youtube, porn, tinder and so on I'm not surprised. And I'm too addicted to stay away from it.
- https://www.health.h…Gnash
- Interesting read. But I don’t think it’s so much about lowering dopamine as much as giving your dopamine receptors a break.NBQ00
- When you overstimulate your dopamine receptors they will eventually start to shut down. Isn’t that what the whole dopamine fast is about...NBQ00
- ...maybe that’s where the misunderstanding is.NBQ00
- Start lifting weights. Works for me.Doris_McSquirter
- Go outside more?monospaced
- I go outside a lot and I also do sports. But don't think it's enough after so much receptors overload from all these years.NBQ00
