[uncle carbunkle]

no seeing chiropractors. massage. and, i know it'll sound ridiculous, exercise helps. even if you're doing something with your arms, (curls or whatever), it may serve to exercise your neck/back muscles enough to heat/loosen them up. then, once you can move your head a bit more, do a bit more exercise. nothing too strenuous. and keep moving it. when you can move it a bit more, try to move it a bit more.

get an ice pack and a hot water bottle. start with ice for 5min, hot for 5min, ice, hot, ice. start with ice and end with ice.

after that, you'll have to get defjoe to cup your boobs or something. try repositioning your monitor.

I hate when I have to send ads that we did...err..that I DID...to other papers. Why can't they do their ow fkn ads? We do ours ourselves. Or when I have to email current car picks for the auto dealer to another paper. Why don't that papers sales people get out and take their own friggin pics like ours do. WHY are we doing their work for them...FOR FREE????? MY boss should make these ppl pay or something. Once in awhile there is a trade involved but rarely, rarely EVER!

It's just fkn annoying when I have to spend all morning emailing so and so's ad to such and such paper bc they can't get off their asses and do the work themselves like we do!

And yes...MORE RED indeed!!

Yeah, after Unk saying she couldn't keep a straight face, I started to get suspicious. I had already conducted an investigation of the source code, and saw that it was only linking to a single file. I though it might possible pull in other files from within, so I continued to let it load. And after hearing it run through the same sound file 15 times I figured it wasn't going to load any more. Damn I hate 56K.

You know what really jerks my chain?People who think that all I do is play around on a computer all day!

I've worked in printing for about 5 years. The lastcompany I worked for closed their doors about 2 months ago (running off with everyone's retirement money), and I've been trying to do some freelance work while searching for a new digital prepress / desktop publishing typejob. I've done a lot of research about what to charge clients inthis areabased on my level of experience, and have come up with some *very* reasonable prices to get started.

A professional gentleman approached me and asked me to design a logo for his company. Since he was my first "real" client I did my homeworkand even made up a few different ideas for possible logos to present and sort of feel him out to see if I was headed in the right direction.

Well, I met with him to show him my proposal. He liked my work, but took one look at the price sheet and said, "is that what it costs for a logo?!?" like I hadpresented him witha lump of roadkill. I explained that I was offering him a discounted rate, and that it was actually a very good price for this type of work. Finally, once he regained his composure, he said, "well, my son knows how to design logos, so I'll just have him do it for free." http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/emoticons/violent.gif

People who aren't designers just don't understand! GRRRRRR!!!

heh heh... thanks thread.

[Neuro]

Basicly my gf and I have one conclusion about most of the human race...they suck!! I feel for ya D. I just read an article about depression and what can cause it. Three of the main things are divorce, losing your job and/or going to jail. Well I got the opportunity to enjoy the first two. All I can tell you is that you have to keep pushing forward. Don't give up. It sucks to be going through crap now but there is a reason for it. You may not know what it is now but it will happen. I still have crap to sort out but I am a hell of a lot happier now than I was months ago. I also know that if none of that had happened I would be where I am now. So just hang in there and keep your head up. Life's a bitch and ppl suck. You just have to find a way to deal. Hang in there bud! Keep venting to us.

Sorry you're going through such a rough time D. It's really hard when life keeps kicking you in the a$$ to be strong for someone else. It's really admirable that even though you're going through so much sh!t the first thing you think about is your grandmother's well-being. I respect you for that!

Just try to hang in there... there are days when you just have to deal with life in 5-minute intervals to keep it from being overwhelming, but you *can* do it.

Well, since you asked...

Recently, I found myself involved in an activity in proximity to some of our K-9 friends the other side of a wooden fence. They were enjoying a rousing time of barking across the lot line through the fence - annoying would be an understatement.

Then I remembered this old movie from the archives in which this scientist dropped off in the Arctic to study wolves marked his territory to keep the wolves at bay and respecting his space...

I thought, 'This just might work'! So I mark the fence line and shazzam! Barking stops for the rest of the afternoon. And these are 'mad' dogs relegated to living alone in a trodden back yard void of human contact - so barking is their life.

I felt very butch after that. It was a very primal and satisfying experience. Now I just have to keep it up... /emoticons/cat.gif

haha! nice one! y'know, they sell 'zoo poo' to keep cats from pissing in your garden. apparently, if a cat 'rounds the corner and smells some tiger dung, they're likely to think that there's been a much larger cat in the 'hood and not go there anymore...

i wonder if you can do that kinda thing to ward off hoochies...

guess it just depends on the individual hoochie, Holliay.

Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?

I'm sorry, I know the 4 weeks is creeping up faster on you than you would like, but your a trooper and will make it through those weeks while he is at boot camp and you will have a great reunion when he returns!!! Just have a great time on that cruise and atleast your anniversary will be BEFORE he leaves so that's great!!!

And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

F**K, my boss can't write up our job folders. So I get the folder, and there's no frigg'n information on the front, meanwhile, I made a revised job information sheet, to include things like output destination, film type required, job type. It already had quantity, paper type, ink colour, and the other odds and sod operations you'd find in a print shop.

Know what's usually filled out on it? The company name, and date. Sometimes I get the finished size put in, and the quantity. Terrible.

Ok, as you might have seen in my Friday post there is this guy at work that is driving me nuts. He thinks he is all hot sh*t and stuff. Morea is going for a job in our area and he said that he was too good for the job. He basicly said they must be getting desperate. Of course if he thinks he is so great he would end up with 2/hr more if he took that job, oh but that would mean working. Something his lazy ass doesn't know how to do!! He is the most filthy, stankiest, son of a b*tch I have every met. I almost knocked his teeth in because I know how hard Morea worked to get to where she is and she deserves the job. He has done nothing but bad mouth it since he found out about it. ARRGH!!! He comes to work and stinks up the whole office because he doesn't shower. Then he doesn't do any work, brags about how gay he is and how great his religion is as a Druid. This is work. I don't want to hear about any of this shi*t. I am here to do my job and get paid. Not listen to his bullsh*t. He listens to all my phone conversations and buts into all my conversations with my friends at work. My boss doesn't have the balls to get rid of him and I think his cubicle is rotting. He drives me *****ing crazy. I think there is a ditch his ass needs to meet!!!

Aw, thanks Cat... /emoticons/wub.gif /emoticons/icon_redface.gif

When I read this I just wanted to add a quick note to make sure you didn't get taken the wrong way...


Cat didn't mention that this 'person' only flaunts his sexual orientation because he wants to set up a discrimination suit against the company in case he gets fired. Basically, he's a lazy a$$ who just lied his way into the company - he doesn't do a damn thing while he's at work, but the supervisors are afraid to say anything to him because he's made threats and they don't want the company to get sued.

Come to think of it, I have always wondered how a druid - someone who thinks trees are sacred - can work in a print shop to begin with. Wouldn't that be like a Hindu working in a butcher shop? /emoticons/biggrin.gif

My car for not starting today after school. First day I drive it to school and it acts up. I tried jumping it three times. Didn't work. My dad buys a new battery. That's not the problem, even though the old one was on it's way out. So I had to have it towed. Good thing we have AAA.

But I still love my car. I washed it and now it looks sweet. I also put new seat covers in and got this cool steering wheel cover. And floor mats. It looks damn nice now.

[reuber1]

I'll tell ya a few things that jerk my friggin' chain that all happened in one f'cking day...

Customers that expect me to know what the f'ck other stores carry. Yeah, on my f'cking off hours I go to Walmart and K-Mart and Best Buy and analyze their inventory to find out how to best suit you, *******.

"Oh wow man! Right beside the snack bar man!" -Tommy Chong

[reuber1]

Also, management that does nothing but sit on their a$$but when I stroll in they dump 20 salesplans that "need to be set soon" because the department manager didn't take care of it before hand and (even though she's there that very day) since she can't do it I have to. I guess the district manager's problem is my problem.

"Oh wow man! Right beside the snack bar man!" -Tommy Chong

[reuber1]

Nobody thanks you for cleaning and prepping the department for the afternoon crew...I work both mornings and nights and I know it blows a$$ when you don't have you're department zoned before you come in, but somehow you've got to cover eight friggin' departments and get them all faced before the night is over...FYI, when the Vice President of the company strollsSat morningafter I work the night before, and they congratulate the people working the day he's there about how well the store looks, but on the contrary I faced the department, it does little less than piss me off until my face is the same color as my friggin' shirt.

"Oh wow man! Right beside the snack bar man!" -Tommy Chong

[reuber1]

When a customer asks you some extremely obscure question about vacuum cleaners or some such sh!t that even the manufacturers might not know, and when I don't know it they get pissed off and bitch on the "Guest Surveys" that appear on the receipts as to how we are "unknowledgeable" about products. I have 150 credit hours of college under my belt; I'm willing to bet my a$$ I'm smarter than you (can I say ass and not have to use the dollar signs, or will another word pop up?). Give me a break, I don't have the luxury of being in one department all the time...I've worked EVERY single area of the store, so don't expect me to give you in depth information on 4,000 different products that we carry you pr!ck. Get your lazy ass on the internet and look up the info yourself.


"Oh wow man! Right beside the snack bar man!" -Tommy Chong

[reuber1]

Customers who bitch about how hot it is in the store...mainly when they bitch to me, although I look nothing like a maintenance guy or anything like that. Trust me, I know how hot it was today! I'mworking--I'm running my ass off--I'm climbing up and down ladderslifting heavy ass sh!t--I'm outside bringing in carts--I'm covering three million friggin' departments. Trust me, I was sweating my ass off, and I run four miles a dayfive days a week. Trust me, I KNOW HOW HOT IT IS, but managements too f'cking lazy to have it fixed. Their excuse..."We understand that it's hot in the store, but it's difficult for our AC unit to cope with the changing weather". The weather isn't changing!!! It's Iowa! It's hot and humid with no breeze! Get a goddamn clue. It flabbergasts me that some of my bosses actually have college degrees, but then again some people I've seen graduate from college are the dumbest people alive.

"Oh wow man! Right beside the snack bar man!" -Tommy Chong

[reuber1]

When the store manager gets pissed at me for not filling a partially empty endcap even though it's not my department and I'm covering electronics with enough work for five people already. I'm sorry, but I'm trying my best.

When they call me in on my day off (especially early in the morning when I'm trying to sleep in). Even more so when they call and ask if I'll work and after I say "NO", they get mad and ask "Why not?" or "What else do you have to do that's so important" when I reply "I'm looking for a different job," asswipe. Sorry, my day off is my day off. Not everyone gets them, and I certainly don't get weekends off even though managers get rotating weekends, so what the hell makes you think that when I do get a day off that I'm going to come in?

"Oh wow man! Right beside the snack bar man!" -Tommy Chong

[reuber1]

When people want to buy something that comes in a huge box (like those electric scooters that got recalled just recently, I hope people who fit in this category and have already bought one have it explode on them when they use it, but not to kill them, but to severely burn them and disfigure them, causing lifelong suffering and pain, emotional and physical), but they bring their Dodge Omni to load it in. My brother had that as his car for high school, and we could barely fit four people in there. "No, this six foot wide dresser, grill, anddisplay-firepitwill not fit in your four door sedan." "Well, you guys should put them in smaller boxes!" "I don't put them inthe boxes, the distributors do. And besides, the largest piece in the dresser box is six feet long...that won't fit in a three foot box." "Well you guys need to deliver it to me since I already paid for it!" "We don't do that here." "Then you're gonna deliver it!" "Mamm, I'm not going to do that for you." "I'm gonna call the store manager about this." "FINE, go ahead. My name is Scott and you can go ahead and tell him who it was you talked with and tell him exactly what happened. I'll be certain to give him my end of the story too."

"Oh wow man! Right beside the snack bar man!" -Tommy Chong

[reuber1]

"How come your Halloween stuff isn't out yet!?!" The next person who asks me this, especially now that our Halloween stuff IS out, is going to get a foot in the ass. I'm not the one who decides what sets when, so when Christmas items start to set before Halloween starts, you can buy all that you want. Call the headquarters for answers to that crap...they're the one's making six figures, I'm the one making $7.50.

"Oh wow man! Right beside the snack bar man!" -Tommy Chong

And finally, the grand daddy of them all. This didn't happen today, but last year, but it still irks me and I still don't get it.

'I will make sure that I am not what some of my past and current managers have been.' - very admirable.

whether you get a better position with Target, or start selling flowers at the turnpike, sounds like you're ready for a new job, mate.

get one soon - you're giving ME stress just reading this. i'm sure $7.50 (even $7.50us which is like...$450cdn) isn't worth the friggin heart attack you're going to give yourself. if you died tomorrow, they'd have to put 'one stressed-out mother-pancakeer' on your tombstone.

GRRR!!!!!

Cats Eye and I have been working our tails off to get our freelance business up and running. In the mean time, he still works his day job doing prepress in a local print shop.

A 'friend' of ours approached us and asked us how much we would charge to recreate a two-sided flyer from a piece of crape sample she supplied. We gave her a very generous price, and also did all of the legwork to have the job bid on by half a dozen printers. It took a few days, but we wanted to be thorough.

Well, she didn't like the discounted price we gave her, so without even a 'thanks for your trouble' she decided to run it through the print shop she and Cat work at... so he still has to set the whole thing up and doesn't get paid for it at all. That is just SOOOOOO wrong!!!

Sorry that's so easy to say and so very hard to do. Working for the Man Sux Big Time. You'd be a lot happier as a Missionary in Africa helping people who really need it than being a part of selfish retail customers in any part of the world. Everyone who does that sort of self-less work seems very satisfied with it - of course until they're hacked to death by the grateful indigenous population.

I came to hate retail so much that I shop almost exclusively online to avoid being a part of retail sales workers' grief. Of course that hurts retail sales and ultimately those workers, but every move we make hurts someone and helps someone in someways...

Geeze, seems like o' Bart Simpson is right - 'You're damned if you do and damned if you don't...'

I designed some labels for a client and had them printed through a vendor I had used in the past. Order shipped overnight, AM delivery, so I stayed home today to sign for it.

Waited - n - waited... hum de dum dum... no delivery. So I tracked it online for the nth time, only to find this lovely message 'Consignee premises closed as of: September 15, 2004 11:45am'. I went outside and checked for an 'Attempted Delivery' slip (which the website assured me would be there). Nothing. So I called 'em up.

The gent I spoke to said that the delivery guy was here at 11:45... now, there is NO CHANCE he was here and I didn't know it! Not one. The front door was open (just the storm door was closed) and tv / radio / anything else that would make noise was *off*.

I told the guy that I had been here all day and that I would have heard him come to the door. He asked if this was a business or a residence... I told him that it was a residence. He gave me a hard time, saying 'we
have this address (which he verified) listed as a business called Cats Eye Creations' and got all dickish to me. I told him that yes, it was a 'home office', and that someone had been here all day, and that on top of
that, there was no 'attempted delivery' notice left.

He said he would 'page' the driver and see about having delivery re-attempted but that he couldn't
promise anything and that I just might have to wait until tomorrow. I wouldn't even mind waiting until tomorrow (and staying home *again*) so long as I could believe that they would deliver tomorrow! Looks like the guy drove by and said, 'hmm.. that doesn't look like a business' and didn't even stop!

WTF am I supposed to do, sit on the porch all day tomorrow and hold up a sign? Is it too much to expect ppl to *do their jobs*? ARGH!!!! I'll show 'em what it is to go 'postal' /emoticons/violent.gif /emoticons/blowingup.gif

and you can drive back and forth to work to pay for it on your own... heady days, my friend, heady days.

:: Durable and doable in a swimsuit, yet not designed for surfing, cliff diving, extreme groping and other high-impact activities. ::

[reuber1]

"I wish I made 7.50"

Not at this place, you don't. If I was guaranteed 40 hours a week I may be fine, but I'm lucky to get 30, and even if I was making 10 an hour I would still hate it, but maybe b!tch less. Besides, 7.50 is a slap in the face after going to college and getting both an Associates and a Bachelors...it's pretty damn sad that in order to even have a chance to get a job nowadays is to go for a Masters. I got to have my $7.50 cover bills, such as car payments, insurance, payment for my computer (I do graphic design, I need a machine), for gas (I have to fill uptwo to three days a week for my 40minute commute to work)and for some reason $92 for my license plate sticker, and that's not counting my $50,000 in student loans that start in November. And you must have some money to cover unexpected expenses, like a head gasket replacementwhich cost me $500 three years ago.

Right now I have less than a thousand bucks, but that will change next month (probably to less than 600) and I can barely survive even though I still live with my parents (HOW AWESOME IS THAT...). Maybe 7.50 would be pretty good for high school students or freshmen/sophomores in college, but it isn't enough for me. Besides, after taxes I actually make a helluva lot less. According to our U.S. president, tax cuts for rich pr!cks "helps" the economy so they can spend more money on employees while taxing the sh!t out of us lower/middle class hard workers; bullsh!t...we have fewer people working at the store than ever (honestly, why people are going to vote for that ******* is beyond me; even if Kerry ain't that great, nothing can be worse than Bush Jr.). People in my situation can't make a living off of 7.50 after college. I dunno, maybe college was a big f'cking mistake in the first place. I'm exactly where I was four years ago, except now in major debt.

Sorry, bad day part 2.

Aww yes,,, been there done that....
I personally don't know what to tell you there reuber. Education is truely a double edged sword. Went through all of that schoolin, and everyone wants experience syndrome.
I hated that line... 'You have a great portfolio, you just don't have any experience, else we would give you the job'

'WASN'T THE FLIPPEN JOB FOR A JUNIOR POSITION IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!' What you want three to five years experience! Give it to me dammmit!

What a line, heard it too many time!

[reuber1]

Jeff knows what I'm talkin' about.


For those types of positions where you need three years experience but there's no mention of education requirements, what if I hypothetically got a job right out of high school through nepotism or something or other, and NOT go to college, would I have an edge over someone with four years of college but no experience? Rhetorical question. Honestly, in this profession it seems you can teach yourself anything--actually, almost anything in college can be self taught; algebra, mass media, geology, sex ed--, and if you're lucky enough to stumble on this website during high school you're even better off...this is a profession that seems where practice makes perfect...not grades; grades are just a measure of who woke up on the right side of the bed and had there Wheaties in the morning...or got laid the night before.

It's one thing to have it everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE, but when you drive by and there's like five guys standing there while one guy is doing the work it gets kind of ridiculous.
