Is there a chick at work that you are stalking?

Sometimes it's the best thing for you.

It's probably not a good idea in the office, but sometimes I hang it out at a bar, just for laughs...other times I hang it out around the house, just for comforts sake.
- ethered0
yeah the bar sounds much more appealing.

I adore humble designers with good aesthetic taste.
It is nice to play with someone who gets it when you start jumping up and down about something designerly.

just like many things in life, it's good when it's good, and bad when it's bad.
Most designers have ephemeral taste by nature, and stuff gets old quick

if you are both not competitive/not near each other it could work...when you are close to someone and you are both avid designers, the competition will probly weaken or break the friendship....

Hanging out with designers:
DO
• hang out with designers from other cities/countries. your talks will most likely go beyond design and just into regular old conversation. by the end of the night the whole lot of you will most likely be getting kicked out of a strip club• have sex with designers from other agencies. why not?
• attend local design functions. As much as you may want to punch that old AD from your last job you'll make connects that may lead to work in the future, plus, you get to check out the new "talent" from other agencies, which brings me back to my second point.
DON'T
• hang out with designers from your work. They'll only disappoint you with some strange behavior like borrowing money, double dipping their chip in the salsa, or puking in your car.

I still hang out with the friends I made in college on my design course, and my girlfriend is also a designer (and Im not even getting involved in the other thread!)
Whats the deal? Sure we usually start off talkin/bitchin about work but that usually goes on to movies/tv/music/dancin/getting thrown out of strip clubs. As long as the other designers are interesting and not just design focused I dont see a problem.
Also go on holidays with em sometimes and yes we bitch about menu designs etc but fuck if they are good drinkin buddies.

All my mates are either designers, developers, writers, photographers, PM's or DJ's...
Truthfully [and possibly sadly]those are the only people I have anything in common with and/or relate to and vice versa...
