Can anyone point me to interesting (and perhaps relatively well-known) articles that talk about the life of the designer...what his day is like, etc?
Obviously there is no rule to what the life of a designer is like, but maybe there's an AdWeek article or CommArts article that talks about the allowances in the design field that aren't "permitted" in other professions like the lax hours or what the work places are like.

'lax hours'
are you kidding?

Whoops, that was bad wording..
I simply meant lax hours as in no rigid schedule...designers can start work at 11 am but of course that means they will just be working until midnight.
Something that presents the designer's workday as something a bit more idealistic than other professionals.

(Nov 28 05, 13:43)haha. most of it is true.
i do try and wake up at 6am every day but damned if i can't. i usually roll out of bed at about 7:30. i should just set my alarm for that time but i'm afraid i won't get out of bed until 9 or so.
no lie. for a whole month i promised myself to get up every morning at 5am and work out with my girl and for a whole month i got up every morning and reset the alarm for 6am, only to finally wake up at 7:30am.
haha.
