So Kim, tell me about what you do for a living. The I'll tell you what I do. Quid pro quo....

I'm an art director for a promotional company.

I get to work as well, about time somebody posted something. I was having to work for a while. :eek:

Yeh forums are a great way to get out of work. LOL
Just make sure the boss can't see you. Or be the boss then it doesn't matter.
Then again if you have a boss like mine he wouldn't know the difference between me working on this or doing my regular work.
LOL

Nice! My boss is 63 years old. He doesnt know how to operate the scroll wheel on his mouse.

He asked for a report which he recieved. Then he asked "Is this all there is?" I looked at his monitor and replied "you see this little wheel? if you run your finger along it - the screen moves up & down"

his response was "Oh"

This POS makes twice my salary....

Boof,

I create logos for companies, I re draw art work for companies that have nothing but a low rez jpg. I've done catalogs for people, I do mock ups of logos on products..... kinda a little bit of everything art related.

Unlike some of our MALE techs, I'm smart enough not to put the oil in wrong... or leave the drain plug loose.. as happened on my sunfire right before I bought my x... dipshit Junior left the drain plug only finger tight causing ALL THE OIL TO DRAIN OUT OF MY CAR!!! hell of a thing to do to a co-worker....

besides, I dont change oil anymore.... I just tell people to... :D

I can do both. But I usually draw on the screen. I'm an Illustrator whore :p

You should draw up a sweet sticker/logo for the forum. I'm sure some would be interested in buying one.

Did you get the last line?


Im killing myself running the company and this old POS makes twice my salary while I have to explain to him how to operate our "Fancy newfangled coffee machine"

That the way life is. I am in the Air Force and when we have a Colonel or General come down we (the Sgts) have to put a fruit basket and crap in his room. But we have to buy/pay for it.

I say hell if he wants a fruit basket tell him to sent the money down before he gets here.

Some places in the AF you have to have the desk on his desk when he gets in. Atleast your guy gets his own.

oh yea, sitting here at work also,, no fun !!!

Shouldnt you be washing the dishes? :)


I was hoping to get a return comment from you on this. I hope you didnt take it the wrong way?

It's been a busy, shitty day... sorry...
I didn't dare respond, because no I didn't take it the wrong way.. BUT... I probably would have taken my frustration (and intense desire to punch my stupid asshole boss RIGHT in the nose....) out on you, and I love you, so I didn't... :)

who says women aren't logical....? ;)

*scampers away to wash the dishes...*

And you better look damn sexy while you're doing it...:)

Hey sorry you had a bad day. Bosses have to be dicks. Im a boss, I hate having to lay down the rules and when I walk away, I know they're saying that Im a dick to each other.

Life is definitely different than it was years ago. Everyone has to do 3 jobs and there's no thanks for the extra effort.

Oh and hey, If you wanna dump on me - its OK. I'll listen.:)

lol, Im sure you're not as big a dick as mine is...
He just doesn't have our backs at all.. never helps us out with customers.. nothing... always expects us to do everybodys job... all the responsability and no control.. it's ridiculous...

I did get some good news at least... We were going to have to go down to Baton Rouge for Easter... but my in laws (or mother in law, rather) has to work saturday so there's no point in us making the treck down there.

Yay for small favors!

Nope, not that kind of boss. I always stick up for my guys, and, I count on them for help because I cant remember everything.

Take my advice, have a few beers, get relaxed, and do whatever makes you feel good after that.

Feeling good has'nt ever been wrong in my book.

looks like I missed all the fun...............had to get yet another password:mad:
