10 years ago I had a word with the Northampton Cineworld manager and asked if he would let me do this art/arse project of photographing some of my soundtrack albums in the seats.

I know most of us have been at it for 25+ years... do you still get the, "oh shit how am I going to do this?" nerves when you start new projects...
My copywriter friend says he goes through that just the same although he's a veteran too.
It's not very strong for me any longer, but it's still there, that blank canvas anxiety.
- I now exclusively seek out opportunities that give me this feeling, love talking myself into new gigs that terrify me b/c of a lack of industry experience.whatthefunk
- Power to the Funk!canoe
- Coincidentally one of the samples addresses this...
https://www.youworkf…canoe - Love it! https://www.scribd.c…whatthefunk
- I hardly feel that fear anymore, and I’m the sort of person who gets into trouble... I don’t know if I have it under control or if I’ve become reckless.OBBTKN
- Not as bad. Even for the ones that would make me shit my pants I might lose sleep a night but quickly trust my process and that I’ve never not delivered. Ever.monospaced
- We do the best we can. We aren’t saving lives. Client deadlines can magically shift when they need to. Amazing.monospaced
- Every. Fucking. Time.
I wish I could be more relaxed but I also know that I need the pressure to be happy with the result after.Longcopylover - It's true... you're right. It may just come from our own high standards.canoe
- Good point Long. The pressure brings out the best. Such a paradox.monospaced
- Design-adjacent, but - I know what I can do, and what I can't. Inbetween lie dreams and I've just got to spend a half hour working out accomplish them.Nairn
- And by dreams I mean 'hallucinations' not aspirations.Nairn
- * if I can accomplish them.
Fucking spastic trying to edit to the notes lettercount.Nairn - So you take to the brink and then reel yourself back in... that's one way of handling it!canoe

"Krop.com generates an estimated annual revenue of $7.1 million, driven by SaaS subscriptions for portfolio building and fees from its job board and talent database."
- Nice. Those estimates tend to be hugely overblown though.mort_

Also: welcome back!Continuity - :)
Even if it's 7x over estimated - fair play.newcunt - Woot!GuyFawkes
- Will we get a share?NBQ00
- Good for them - whoever it is.Longcopylover

Someone sent me a parcel of records and was determined NOT to just put one stamp on it!
- haha, love it.Ianbolton
- postal art at its besthans_glib

- I will, I'll steam 'em off and Pritt Stick 'em!Gardener
- Postal collageOBBTKN
- Huh, uan makes a good point - none of those stamps have been postmarked.
New Postal Hack™?!Nairn - Actually - are they even legal for use in the UK these days? I thought you could only use the barcoded stamps? If so, how did that get through?Nairn
- Special/commemorativ... stamps and non-barcoded Christmas stamps are still validkingsteven
- Very cool, did he pay for the tracking on top or is that part of the calculation therekingsteven
- signed for was includedGardener
- wow, so all those stamps are just ejaculation?Nairn

I still have 10 days of (self-imposed) vacation left, and I don't yet feel the urge to do *anything* other than go to the pool, have drinks with friends, clean the house, cook, and sleep...

Reading the first entries in this soon to quarter-of-a-century long thread, you see how people express themselves notably differently, use different slang words and so on. It's like browsing an archived Usenet newsgroup (alt.graphicdesigner.morose ?)
It feels like excavating.

Since being laid off I decided I needed some kind of daily routine. So I talked to my trainer and upped the workout days from three to five, while still going running twice a week.
Only done it for two weeks now so will have to see if I have the energy to keep it going. I'd never imagined myself going to the gym that often a couple of years ago.
- You should probably run 3-4x, and gym it only 3x... at this point in our lives cardio, mobility, fitness is more important than muscle training. jus sayincanoe
- We're supposed to get at least 150 minutes of cardio in a week.canoe
- What counts as cardio? Heartrate higher than what?Longcopylover
- "breathe harder and your heart beat faster" - maybe cardio is not the precise termcanoe
- According to some folks on Instagram.pseud

I spent a week in Budapest. I miss it. What a beauty.
I hope they never build new houses, just renovate the old ones.
Ugh. I miss the old world. I wasn't even around for it. But i love what's left.
- Old stones are sexy. Period.OBBTKN
- Budapest is beautiful.renderedred
- Thinking about going there in October. Have you been there with kids?Longcopylover

I was gifted tickets for The Odyssey, gonna see it with a friend saturday. It's not the kind of movie I watch on my own accord. Tbh, I'm kinda dreading it. I expect exhausting "epicness" with lengthy LOTR part 2-like battle scenes, and tons of CGI bullshit.
And no peeing for 3 fucking hours.
I've seen trailers and screenshots, and thought "nah, not my bag". But maybe I'm in for a pleasant surprise? I mean, it has "universal acclaim" on Metacritic.
?
- Isn't Nolan somewhat infamous for eschewing cgi?Nairn
- .the sound crashes around like a bomb blast at times which is wierd and kinda nice and in retrospect the best thing abou it.. the movie its self is okneverscared
- dont expect too much.. holland is not the best character actor and has a lot of screentime and that bored around at the start which was most lackyneverscared

- Dude - just go and have fun!stoplying

- the only fun is matt damon dressed as a sheepneverscared
- Old man yells at gift.
; )ideaist - it's ok to look a gift matt damon in the mouth.BonSeff
- it's not very epic tbh. More an oddly paced island hoping swords and sandals movie shot only in 50mm medium shots..inteliboy
- I thought it was a fun movie and that the tree hours went by quite fast.Nutter
- I say go and see it, set yourself a challenge, like believing this is Odyssey and not a bunch of celebrities wearing sandalsrzu-rzu
- and wear sandals yourself ..neverscared
- I'm not sure but I think you can get out at any time to pee. Send a fax to the theatre too to ask them, to be sure about the rules.HAL9001

Very annoying that em dashes and bulleted lists are now seen as evidence of AI use, as I've used these long before AI.
Bullets especially.
- I used to love em dashes. The had given me an option for rhythm and emphasis. Now I try to avoid them...Longcopylover

I understand now the clothing style of the lawyer in Jurassic Park 1. It is very convenient to use shorts and a suit during video calls. He was really ahead his time. RIP
