@FaithGoldy No. Lol 🙄 what a joke

There are some fundamental differences in the work that you do that pay and stability can not compensate. I’m not saying one is better than the other, just that this is what I (truly) learned about myself this week.

[🌼 Meishang 🐝 @metrikfire]

Even if I don’t understand anything, even if it feels like it’s going over my head, it fills me with joy to know that I’m a little closer to learning something. I think I learned that I can’t sell myself short on this. Every job has its problems but...

[🌼 Meishang 🐝 @metrikfire]

I feel like there is no field that is too unrelated to me, no experience that means nothing - the act of learning itself brings meaning to my existence

[🌼 Meishang 🐝 @metrikfire]

I am a perpetual learner. A student in love with being a student - not the role, but the idea of being a bottomless cup. Ofc I’m not unique in this mentality.

Im genuinely interested in learning more about synergistic methods of propelling design thinking (as non-lead) in teams rather than being a one-man-army for this seemingly exclusive HCD ideology #uxdesign #designthinking #designproblems

[🌼 Meishang 🐝 @metrikfire]

Creating design systems makes sense internally but when it comes to executing it in a live team, idk what's happening anymore #uxdesign

@NTPowerNews Power still out on Main St S. Is there an ETA?

In light of my rant-tweet about designing for Canada: “The necessity for designing for Canadian Spaces” https://t.co/iks7BOH8rJ

@BEENATHEMISTRY Oh my god yeah. I’ve actually skipped on certain applications because of their arduous MANY MULTI step application process. Like asking me to fill out my skill set and exp and then requesting a resume + cover letter, like reassess your info management

[🌼 Meishang 🐝 @metrikfire]

I genuinely want to know if companies think that there is an endless pool of UIUX designers sitting on 5-10 years of Front End Development #dopeopleactuallythinkaboutwhattheyreasking

Honestly, what is with the 10001 job management systems I have to sign up for in order to apply for a position? I swear I'm signed up to sites I've never seen again and more often than not, I don't even get the courtesy of a rejection. #unemploymentlyfe

You can only conceptualize so much and so far till it all becomes meaningless

[🌼 Meishang 🐝 @metrikfire]

I start to get stuck in the downward spiral of asking myself "Why should I?" I try to remind myself that "If I can, why not?"

[🌼 Meishang 🐝 @metrikfire]

It may seem untrue, but Canada is not the US. Let’s focus on how Canadians actually live, design solutions for Canadian problems instead of treating Canadian issues as an extension of America. #designgripes

I made a landing page for Avocado because Potato already has one. #uidesign #DailyUI #uichallenge #uxdesign #sketch #Avocado

[🌼 Meishang 🐝 @metrikfire]

I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t do my UI challenge thing today #shame
