After reading the 'good morning' thread and Kona's 'I'm losing it’ story. It has become apparent to me that a lot of us are having a bad day. If you got time read this, it’s a long one.
First let me say that I started working graphics for my company in the web area of the building. I did product shots for a while then began basic web graphic design. I’m an intern so every project is more exciting and I’m happy to say my job is evolving steadily.
I was sitting at my desk this morning, reading an article about David Gensler, in an issue of the royal magazine. http://www.theroyalmagazine.com/… I noticed that one of the web guys was staring over my shoulder. This guy is a complete tool, his only job is to plug out photoshop commands; cutting the background from the product shots. He starts to giggle and said something stupid like “Brad what the hell are you doing.” I ignored him, knowing he has no concept of what design is all about, but this problem always comes around. Nobody around me (in the web area) understands fresh ideas. Their jobs are mind-numbing and completely plug n’ chug. It seems that if I’m not in photoshop or illustrator that I’m not doing any work.Just then my boss chimes in. “Brad do you want to go work on the other side for the day?” (referring to the other side of the building in the marketing area). I said, “not really why?” My boss: “well don’t you like working over there with your people.” Me: “I like to work at my desk; you know where all my stuff is.” Then he goes on, “I thought you liked working around them (other designers).”
I then made the mistake of speaking my mind and saying that I liked how people understand what I do over there how I would like to sit there permanently, which is not possible for some reason. The dorky web guy says jealously, “why does it matter where you sit your not going to do anything anyway.” I looked at my boss and said yeah I’ll go over there; nobody will bother me that way. The idiot then said something like “get off your high horse,” to which I just laughed.
WTF? It sucks to be an in-house designer. Thanks I feel better already.

While we're at it, my house is about to fall into a giant canyon next to our yard (on public land) caused by erosion from the recent hurricane, and NOBODY WILL HELP

I was going to make a clever little comment, but after the house bit I started to feel guilty about it. :|
Sorry to hear about that.

Damn Rand, your house is falling? You can stay at my place if you need to.
Really though, that sucks! I hope everything works out.
- JazX0
yes I am thank you.
- Rand0
ok, so I exagerated a little-- a little more erosion and the yard will start to go, and maybe a year after that the house. thanks for your concern!

heh...
i just found out that a fine that i owed to court that went overdue has resulted in a warrant for my arrest.
needless to say, i'm not jail material, and this is freaking me out...
i don't like the idea of federal pound me in the ass prison...

You should only do time in jail (local), which is way better than going to prison (federal). Unless you're in LA County jail or something horrible like that. I ignored jury duty notices twice and they threatened me with a warrant the next time I failed to resond, so I guess I'll have to do it then. I don't really want to find out the difference between local and federal ass poundings...

More bad things are happening around here!
What is it about today? My problems aren't as bad as some of the people I have heard from, (kona, rand), but doesn't it seem like alot of people are getting raped today. (not to mention jpolk going to federal pound me in the ass proson) I think they would just take you to jail jpolk, no prison time for late payments.
