For a long time, months or even years, I agonized over a name to freelance under. Every combination of my name or initials was already taken. Finally, I have decided and I did create a Twitter for Old HWY 5 Graphics. @oldHWY5graphics Follow to see my graphic design work. Thanks!
@CoyoteTraveller I don't know how to use Linkedin. It's like a "professional" facebook? I'm not good at networking. It is how I found my current job though. So the job search was useful for me.
I need to try freelancing in my spare time. Pay from my full time day job isn't enough. I'm wondering if a seperate twitter account for that would be worth it...? Looking for input from other graphic designers and artists. #graphicdesign#freelance
I'm thankful that this wonderful dog came into my life. Can't believe she is already 8 years old. Despite getting a little older, she had a good vet checkup today. She does have some chronic ear infections. Got her ears cleaned and more drops to manage that issue.
I'm I the only one who thinks the amount of sugar in recipes is absurd? I baked sweet potato muffins last night. The recipe said 1 cup of sugar. I only used 1/3 cup. My toddler loves them. I always reduce the amount of sugar in baking. #baking#cooking#sugar#recipes
I was about ready to fight a customer today. She walked in on me while I was in the bathroom. When I came out I said, "Who doesn't knock on a closed bathroom door?" Her snarky response was, "You should have locked it." Like have some common decency and courtesy.
Received some of the gifts to myself. Going to finally personalize my keychain after having a new car for 2 years. And having some new pendants will be nice to wear. Feel like I should be more visibly pagan. The ppl I work with are obnoxious about their Christianity.
I haven't listened to music at my new job. I started in April. That's 8 months without music. I'm going a little squirrelly. Been stress eating snacks at work instead and gaining weight. It might be that I'm allowed music to help with the stress or I quit soon.
"My business card must look exactly like my banner." Dude, the size and proportions of a business card are a little different from a 30 x 75 inch banner. #graphicdesign#printing#printshop
I potentially need a 5th me. Had a job interview yesterday at the local news station. Graphic designer is needed for the news paper. It will pay better. If I'm offered that job, I'm leaving a second print shop in a bind and needing a graphic designer.
I need 4 of me. One to be the graphic designer at the previous place I worked (cause they are still looking for help), one to work at my current job, one to stay home (keep it clean and watch the kid when he is sick, and one to live 1,000 miles away with my aging grandmother.
My priority at work is to compile and organize the hundreds of paintings by an artist and all of the various sized cards and products for each painting that she has ordered over years. The production manager is still promising rush jobs and scheduling other jobs like normal. π‘
Four hours cleaning my Forester and it's still not done. I only got all of the windows (I couldn't see for the grime on the inside), the driver's side vacuumed, and the dash and center console clean. I didn't even get the back seat or passenger floor vacuumed.
