No kidding Jaline.
It's a total drag. We had a discussion yesterday, and I say that loosely as I hardly talked. The meeting went a whole lot like this 'this is how i think it should be done, here, i did it, do this, go this direction, nevermind your last month of working on it, dump that and do this.' Fuck. Now I gotta be the little bitch and tell my boss when he gets back from California. We had reviews last month and I guess everyone in the department complained about this guy for doing the very same thing. Now I gotta be the one to put the nail in the coffin. Fuck.
TheBlueOne. I just so happen to have a few knitting needles in my back pocket. Don't ask.

As we're all pouring out our hearts:-
I have been with this company for 2 and a half years and I'm still using a pentium4 with a Russian version of PS6 and I'm using Macromedia fireworks as an Illustrator alternative! I would use my own Mac accept I don't have one. This means I cannot put together a portfolio I need to get my sorry ass out of here.
*sob

hey, conc. fancy starting a painting + decorating business?

Concrete, I'm pretty much in the same boat. We're actually supposed to be using Frontpage (omg), but no one actually does because it's mondo shitty.

...however, my stuff at home is much better and allows me to make a decent portfolio and stuff.

my company has actually been really good to me. the boss let me make an ill advised move to new york and work off my laptop. he's renting me a desk in a really nice office in manhattan and is basically just letting me get on with it.
how am I paying him back?
i'm talking to other nyc agancies so that I don't have to go back to london in 4 months.

(Mar 7 07, 08:58)Ha ha. My wife used to be a painter & decorator. She hated the stigma that went with it.
I was more keen on our American snack and beverage import venture.
Hows the job hunt going?

My workplace is actually pretty awesome...I bet if I asked someone I could get better equipment, but my projects don't really require it. And I'm not in the habit of asking for things...I guess.
I'm going to stay here for a while and then decide about a job that actually has to do with my degree in a few years.

skt, i'd be a bit careful with that information if i were you.
:l
good luck, though.
i haven't really started in earnest yet, with the job thing. i figure, i've got two weeks' paid holiday with which to do that, so i'm kinda gearing up for it now. not really seeing anything i'm that keen on, plus i'm a weirdo with a weird background and a weird skill set. recruitment agents just sort of scratch their heads at me.
i still don't know what i want to be when i grow up, which doesn't help. ack. anyway, it'll all be fine. the important thing is to make a change. i love change, change is good.
(repeat: i love change, change is good.)

just got back, what is this?

what? it's not like anybody reads anything I post anyway.
To be honest, i'm only speaking to other people because, well, its just one other person and when I say speaking I mean, um...

ah, well, in that case...
carry on.
you know how you're supposed to make different cvs for the different jobs you apply for, all tailored to the position in question... well, i'm thinking of making a weirdo cv with all the weirdo things i've done. the stuff i normally leave off the resume so that people won't think i'm a weirdo...
like:
limo driver
apprentice pastry chef
assistant to underwater archaeologists
atrezzo procurer for cuban documentary film
glass blower
yoga instructor in drug rehabilitation clinic
etc.otherwise it's just like css blah blah, photoshop, dreamweaver, i hate myself. you know? maybe i can just be a professional weirdo?
