Passion
Sometimes designing can be a pain in the arse. Just ask me.This is especially so when you have 3 freaking magazines to handle. 2 are abt 100pp each, the other 50+pp. And when your freaking assitant takes a day just to do 2pgs max. How the hell are we goin to deliver on time? And when I say to finish 2 pgs, I say 2 'incomplete' ones that I have to snag along doin up changes and stuff. He's a freaking snob. Suffice to say he used to 'take care' of 4-5 designers at a go last time. Stop bullshitting for crying out loud. You can't even handle this dumb mag.
So the question is: Where do we draw the line? We all have a job to do. And that I'm doin 2mags and he 1. After 2 weeks struggling with the look, *Medusa gave up. I had to step in. His confidence drop dramatically. Idiot. With 10yrs of experience in this field, this was probably his worst. But that's only my presumption. He may just be a lazyfuck for all i know. The more i think, the more I cringed opening up psds in the mornings and start revamping it. Its like doin 3 mags now. Tt's no joke. Just ask any good designers and you'll know wad I mean. I'm goin insane! i'm also trying to keep myself calm at times when *Medusa starts pinpointing tt that pg sux. We all have to defend 'our' designs sometimes.
Like wad happened today. I believe designers shld always 'protect' each other in times of frustration by not pushing the blame...for this instance, on me! I think by doin this not only dis-rekindle wadever relationship you may have with ur collegue. It'll also shows ur childishness and unprofessionalism. I think the best solution is to just listen and shut the fuck up. After *Medusa's done with her ramblings, then go scream ur head at him. I failed doin that. He left for home soon after. I will fuck him tmrw.
Sometimes being helpful lead to many uncertainties. When you tink you're doin a good deed for him, he may turn the tables on you. Bastards like these do exits even in a small company. I wonder if i ever land a job in a bigger company, will it be like that? Or will it be so stringent that everybody just shuts the fuck up and do a good job - a job tt was assigned to you from the beginning? What landed you this job is your specialty. He has none. No foundation. Nothing.
Show passion my friends. It'll bring you more satisfaction in wadever you do. Even sex. 'Nuff said.
*Medusa = My Boss

hey sounds like your getting heaped with more responsibilities at work. There's always the ones who talk alot at work but their work output sux when u put 'em to the test.
Hope this won't dampen ur passion for design with such bad experiences.
