"I guess I went straight into the big-time"
I'm surprised you can hear the briefs what with your head being up your ass and all.

Rasko, try not to be so judgemental. All I'm saying is that I'm a year out of college & I got really lucky with this Toys R Us thing. I don't have a big head about it. The timing was just right for me. I know how fortunate I am.

I've had a lot of bad or unpleasant jobs, but I liked all my design jobs, junior or not.
Some of the bad ones:
mopping up the private booths at a porn shop
graveyard shift at a Sears warehouse, where everyone was supposed to just pretend to be working
putting things into cardboard boxes on an HP assembly line
etc etcOreos are bad for you: http://www.mindfully.org/Food/20…

Hey Brooke, some really nice pics and designs on your site, but I don't get the 'roll over for outline view'.
Otherwise, nice site. Hope the Toys r us gig goes well, I shall enjoy my clipping out!

i used to do lots of shitty jobs like louding out a monstertruck full of freshly made cartyres, thousands of them all gooey and sticking to eachother.
I used to pick cherries seven meters high in a tree, which was fun actually.
Once i had to varnish a warehousefloor and the guy i was working for gave me a gasmask: "here that will do it, if you feel dizzy take a break".
What happened is that i completely blacked out without any warning and woke up in the hospital, intoxicated from the fumes, strong stuff, shitty gasmask.

Not exactly the worst physical job, but...
One of my first "design jobs" after grad school was creating knock-off Lego kits for a toy company. Not bad at all, really. Just sit in a room with a mountain of fake Lego and see what you can come up with...

The CEO was a complete freak with an overactive sinus, always picking his nose and air-blowing into his trash can.
He came to me one day and said: "You're creative, right? Well, (sniff snort) we have some Letters of Appreciation (sniff sniff) and Awards Certificates that need to be framed and hung in the Conference Room..."
"...and we need you to build a pin-up board (snort snort) in there as well.""...and I need you to (snuggg snorrrrrrrt!) paint some lines out in the parking lot, so we know which spaces are ours..."
I gave notice (sniff snort) the following day.

I knew a guy who was hired to do some animations in Australia.
He told me some brilliant stuff, his boos was a freak and would say bizarre comments like 'What the hell are you doing, stop drawing and get back to work!'
He got paid for footage he drew, at the end the boss told him that he had been given the wrong scripts to animate so his footage couldn't be used and he had to give his couple of months salary back!
The guy went to the airport after work and flew back home to Dublin, didn't tell the boss.

Hello Ian, I've got a friend also called Ian who also lives in Ireland. You might know him, not because you're called Ian or from Ireland but you just might that’s all. Ian is also a good name for a dog. Not that you’re a dog Ian. Ian, Ian, Ian, Ian, Ian. Some words lose their association the more you say them, which just goes to show how fragile language can be Ian.

I worked at a gasoline refinery right next to a car-smashing plant. The fuzz from the car upholstery would get in my eyes and throat. My boss was bipolar. I worked 4 12-hour shifts per week: 2 of 6am-6pm and 2 of 6pm-6am. I had to listen to bible-thumping truckers all night long and I reeked of gasoline all the time, it was in my skin. My only co-worker ate brain burritos every day and told me how tasty sqirrels were. Whenever I blew my nose it was black. When I quit that job I had to throw away all of my clothes because the gasoline smell wouldn't come out.
