It's a good day.  It's sunny out now, I bought some cute new boots online, and my co-workers brought in breakfast, and they are picking up sushi and pizza for lunch! (weird combo,yes, but it's still nice!)

I found that post incredibly funny! I think it was the avatar that put a different complexion on it.
Especially the, "I bought some cute new boots online" bit!

*Killing time playing on Facebook b/c a friend request reminded me I had an account*
I still don't understand the point of it though.
No one is on Yahoo/AIM/MSN/GTalk tonight. Boooo.

Im thinkin' I don't want to design anymore....
I have been in love with design since I realized the power that came before it and after it. However, I worked at a small design firm for ONE month and that experience has yet changed my mind on this. I hope someone can break me out of this shell.
I moved to Dallas hoping to get into a small Ad Firm/Design Firm down here. Well, I did. When I was being interviewed it sounded pahh-fect. (That's my British accent for perfect.) The lady who owned the company was sweet as cherry pie and sounded like she ran a good business. So I gave it a shot!
The first day my gut was telling me, "Do you really want to be stuck in this fluorescent land for the next 10 years? Cuz I'm your belly and I sure as hell don't." But I thought it was the 'first day blues' and sucked it up. The rest of the week went on and I realized that there are only 3 middle aged women in this company. No men. In fact, they talked down on men designers and young inspiring designers. (Note: I'm a 26 year old female and tried not to take this personally as they directed the comments to me.) Couple more weeks went by and they started making non-professional crude comments to me about perfume or my 'red purse' and complained about everything from young Account Exec's to too much mayo on their ham sandwich from Potbelly's. (*That is NO lie either.)
I just couldn't take it anymore. On top of 3 unhappy, middle aged women that hated men and youth, and constant verbal abuse, there was NO design, and if there were, they wouldn't listen at all to any creative ideas I had to offer. All old-school typesetting and proofreading.
I'm going to cut this short by saying I am one tough cookie. I can take constructive and destructive criticism, it comes with the occupation and shouldn't be taken as a hazard. I can take just about anything and put up with anyone crazy. But, yes folks, it got the best of me. I quit after a month.
I think I need some positive stories on this Industry...can someone turn my HORRIBLE experience into a positive one and tell me how much they love their job? Give me more hope!

Next time do your homework first and investigate the company. It's good to get a feel for them before you show up for an interview
I think as in every industry, you have your bad apples, your good ones, and then the ones that are just somewhere in the middle.

50 year old women should not be wearing knee high boots and short skirts.

Thinking about whether to go for a workout or chillout in front of the TV.
