I fucking hate waiting around, at work for an email, that was suppose to be here first thing in the morning, so a job can go out....and after three phone calls later about it as well....

when Fridays are half days for me......

that and ppl who drive 10 below the speed limit, when there are no passing lanes.........this drives me fucking nuts

I'm constantly beating on people for information, it always comes in at the last minute for some odd reason. On a side note I just got offered an obscene amount of money but it means moving to Calgary.

amazing. good for you.

would you be leaving a lot of friends and family (i mean... are you from nova scotia originally)? do you have people in calgary?

tell 'em you also need a moving expense.

upyerbum - 7-18-2008 at 01:19 PM

Yeah, I'll be leaving a lot behind, but fuck it, pillar of salt and all that. I've got some boys out there, though. Worst thing is gonna' be killing the band.

clevohardcore - 7-18-2008 at 01:24 PM

CONGRATS ON THE OFFER. It sounds like its too good to pass up.

mycomplaints

Picture this.........

ton of construction on the roads. You are at a red light to cross through and intersection. It turns green, but with all the traffic ahead and construction its still backed up to the next light ahead. However, you have enough space to move up and cross the intersection. Problem is the bitch to the right in the northbound lane passes through a red light at the very last second and as you are crossing the intersection attempts to cut in front of you. SO now you are in the middle of intersection the light is turning yellow then red and this bitch is looking at you like your a idiot. I calmy roled my window down and said "you had a red light" She said "No, I had a yellow one" I said you are a liar and cut her off with the front of my car. So I got the right away, but not before the wife was pissed for me making a issue of it. I don't give a fuck. Call me William 'D-Fens' Foster.

Furly - 7-18-2008 at 01:34 PM

I have no complaints. :dork:

defstarsteve - 7-18-2008 at 01:42 PM

complaints for today...

no new orders, after a slow fucking week
people who owe me almost 5 grand looking for credit
different people who owe me 5 grand who make millions (fuck you mgm) dragging their feet on paying me
wife still wanting to move even though I got our rent cut by 1/3,
but looking for places that cost the same as what I am paying before the cut... how does this make sense?
I wish I could get a job offering me a 1/3 of what I make now, just to have some damn stabillity
fuck the recession

complaints:

I think my knee is still messed up. Can't run until it feels better.
No CD player in my "office"
It's not 5:00 yet

That's about it. Im actually pretty happy right now, and I didn't even get laid.

clevohardcore - 7-18-2008 at 03:26 PM

Ya the Knee thing is bothering me too.

I need a good fucking job that I can make a living at.

People who are way to picky on what I design for them. I'm the fucking designer. You hired me to design something for you. If you wanted an exact replica of your vision then get a book of clip art and fucking trace what you need.

yikes.

a while back i was talking to Boycott Christian HC about getting a design done. he told me upfront that he only does his interpretations and if i had something in mind (a vision) that i just couldn't draw myself, i should look you up.

good thing money isn't good, otherwise you might've been talking about me.

Jason the Magnificent - 7-18-2008 at 08:30 PM

Everyday of my existance consists of waiting on architects and general contractors to give me cartoon-esque information that almost never works like they think it will for their buildings HVAC systems. Then after them spending weeks/months to get it to me wrong, I'm expected to turn it into a fabrication drawing in 10 minutes.

Makes it even more fun that they'll then call me every day or sometimes several times a day with "any progress" ('are you done yet') phone calls constantly halting my progress to explain to them why things arent done yet.

Then I get accused of being crabby by them and management when I'm working 80 hour weeks to clean up their messes.

Go figure.

This is why I would never be able to pursue my degree as a graphic designer.

Non designers always want impractical, aka stupid/lame stuff done with their projects. I'd fucking stroke out. Some of the bands I did almost gave me nervous breakdowns doing their artwork.

MyOwnWay - 7-18-2008 at 11:46 PM

My grievance tonight... Love. Yea, I said it. Love. Fuck love. Love is the bastard child of lonliness. It lies to you. It beats you into submission. Love forces you to put your guard down, but it never allows you to make mistakes. Love has no forgiveness. It punishes you. Its the knot in your stomach. The reason you cant sleep. It consumes you. Dictates your mood. Love is temporary. It will shut you out but hold you hostage. A detainment center for the emotionaly retarded. Love will make you think you are someone special... And then love meets time. And with time, love will expose every weakness and hand you your self esteem in a brown paperbag. Think you're in love? Give your love some time. Because let me tell you fellas, I've got my brown paperbag. Happy trails. Fuck love.

Nervous breakdown sounds just about right. I've had some really hard times working with people. I understand people want what they want and as much input from the client is key when working with them. But trying to explain to people what works and doesnt work in a design can be very frustrating when they dont want to accept it.

You dont tell a mechanic how to do his job especially if you have no knowledge in that area. Works the same for Graphic Design.
