Looks as if I can’t play with you guys here any longer. I just got a stern warning about my time spent on Newstoday, even though I find myself posting less and less during the day. I guess Newstoday is only seen as an “instant messenger” and not as a design resource. I’m kind of pissed because she said that I need to focus more on the work, yet, we’re slow as fuck. I spent most of the day yesterday photoshopping a damn birthday card for the boss’ daughter. I even through out the standard “... have I ever missed a deadline, date or been late to a meeting or not fulfilled, or even for that matter exceeded in the completion (on time) of a project?” No use. So this is kind of the straw that broke the camels back for me. We can’t check personal email, I was legitimately sick last Monday and they didn’t pay me for the day off, even though I’m on salary full time, I had to fight them tooth and nail about them paying me for my time off in September for my honeymoon. When I was interviewing they said “of course you can take off, that’s totally fine” then I request the 5 days off.... FIVE... and it’s “of course, we just won’t pay you for it...” Wow. This place is a terrible design sweatshop and it’s ruined the moral of the company.
So, you all might be seeing a lot less of me. Some of you I’m sure won’t mind.
I’d also like to take a shot in the dark and ask if anyone knows of any openings in the suburbs of Chicago? I had an interview at Fry last week which went pretty well, and if anyone knows a person working there it would be nice to get a name drop or something.
I guess as I’ve gotten older I realize, as long as the work is getting done, and it’s high quality work, what the hell does it really matter if a person spends a few minutes here and there on a design board? Really. If I had a dime every time I walked past another persons computer here and I saw CNN, Yahoo, BBC, ESPN, YouTube or Yahoo videos I’d be a rich man. Yet I seem to be the only one getting the talking to.
Anyways, to make a short post long. Take care.

one part of me feels sorrow at the loss of Kona on nt-- the other wishes that the same thing would happen to me!
at any rate, farewell for now, shine on. I have the feeling you'll be back soon enough

Good luck, k0na.
I finish all my work on time and then have lots of extra time which I spend posting here. I hate when work is so slow yet you are not allowed to visit certain, perfectly safe web sites.

(May 23 06, 09:56)meh, I sent it a memo round the office today expressing my joy towards bringing the first serif typeface into this office, expecting to be regailed like the second coming of christ and shit, but nee, nothing...
I've used it for every project I've worked on today, much to the chagrin of all my client...
