That presenting printouts of website mockups (instead of screenshots) make idiot clients understand that what they see on the screen is not a functional website yet.
That clients don't give a shit if you work on mac or pc.
After Effects.
You?

I've learned that just because you're hired in at a certain salary, you can get super-dicked and end up with acouple $K less if your employer feels fuckin' ya. :/

I've had to relearn this one several times over: If on the first introductory ("how do you do, nice to meet you") meeting you get the slightest inkling that the client does not understand the project they are asking for, or does not respect your expertise, you must walk out immediately. Don't think about the fee you might have made. Don't think about the whatever prestige might have been attached to the project. (Those are illusions. Bad clients don't pay on time... or at all. They argue about what they've already agreed to. They call and email when it is not appropriate. They become unnecessarily aggressive.) Just walk out. No, run. Run. Run run. Good clients are just around the corner. And the best of clients become more than clients; they become long-running collaborators.

On the 10th of February 2009, I learned that the walls have ears.

2. I learned that I take myself too seriously.
3. I learned that I'm drastically more productive when I don't get bogged down in discussions of any sort with anyone on QBN, nice people and assholes alike. And this has been a singular year for assholes.

Toilet paper only removes the bulk of stool from the crease in your buttocks. Your ass will still smell like shit afterwords. They should come up with toilet paper "rolls" that are like Wet Wipes.
