I'm Free

[Kool]

Yeah I'm unemployed, Sitting here and knowing I don't have to be at that hell on earth job in an hour is making me about the happiest guy on earth. Of course I have no income now and that could be a problem. I will worry about that next week, this week I'm just going to relax and hang with the GDF.

P.S. Until I am re-employed I will be charging ten dollars per moderation to the person being moderated. So come on; post some ads, get in nasty fights and start up that mac vs pc thing. I need to eat. /emoticons/cool.gif

I love children but I don't think I could eat a whole one.

LMAO @ Kool! But I can already see how you really are happier.

Got get em Kool! You can do it!

So what happened, how did it go down?

Graphic Design Heroes! Call me Captain Type Caster. I’ve fought off “The Evil Cosmic Sans” for year but it seems “Dr. Extreme Untalent” keeps bringing him back. I must find a way to defeat this evil creature.

Capt. Creative bring me those comps…

Give us some details, Kool! Was the former boss your choice for 'soylent green day'?

The more people I meet, the more I love my cats.

[coconut]

Enjoy the rest I am sure it won't last for long. Good time to relax and do what you want. Don't look at me to be paying you, I'm gonna be good from now on. :)

The whole quitting thing was really pretty anticlimactic. My boss is an intense SOB and regularly throws these ballistic tantrums over the smallest problems. I really didn't want to deal with that so I just went in, deleted all GDF references from my computer, (I later banned their IP, heh heh) gathered my meager belongings and left my letter of resignation on his desk. I then left and never looked back.

The soylent green reference was to the sales rep there who was most responsible for making my life hell. Satisfyingly she is the one who will be most hurt by my leaving.

That was well done Kool. Leave them no chance for retaliation!

Nice...

So what is in the books for you now?

Good for you, Kool. With your knowledge and talent you will have no trouble finding another *better* job.

The more people I meet, the more I love my cats.

[Big Perm-dizzle]

GOOD STUFF.... get a job where people want and need your talent

drink a beer for me!

Mag, I'm just gonna decompress for a week and then start the job hunting. I don't have to find one immediately. Someone will need me I'm sure of that. This business has a high turnover rate and guys with my abilities are not common.

I love children but I don't think I could eat a whole one.

[PrintDriver]

Good for you Kool.
You'll come back quick.

But don't you just wish you could be a fly on the wall around there today?
(I can hear you smilin)
Have you gotten the 'please come back' call yet?
Taking bets?

That will never happen PD. It would require an admission of doing something wrong and my employer has never made a bad decision or a wrong choice. It will be interesting around there for a few days. Production other than what I had already output film for is stopped. No one there knows how to do anything. My boss was always after me to write up procedures for how to do things there but I never seemed to find the time to write them.

I had a debate with a sales manager who insisted that I had a graphic for an ad from 5 years ago and she showed me an old clipped out ad and I tried to explain to her I have never seen it. Well (she takes all kinds of drugs at work and gets away with it, that oxycotin thing (bad knees) zanix, and who knows what els, but those are the ones I have heard her offering people and I can see that she is a little high, kind of weavin when she's talking.
Finally after an hour of her getting on me (this is the last minute of press and her reps didn't get the materials in) Someone finally comes up and says, that's from the other newspaper. She tells me to scan it in then, from a 5 year old newsclip. OUUKy well, the press calls the publisher and says this ain't gonna work so I get the chew from this. I explain the situation to him and she comes in and starts telling me I should have scanned better, well I bit back and said something like 'that's nuts' The publisher told me to shut up. That gave the press room something to talk about.

Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists.... When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.

KOOL I'm Thrilled for you, thats great to here. I hope that you take some time to go fishing or draw, or sit naked around the house, whatever floats your boat, This week just act like Homer

Kool! Sorry to hear about your traipse through hell... good to know you're taking it easy! What to do for a whole week? ROAD TRIP!

RE: Boobie Island via Florida
Need details on that. Please, people, set a date and time and I'll buy me a one-way plane ticket. :D

THERE... ARE... FOUR LIGHTS!

[Kool]

I think we are leaning (at least me and D-Frag) toward Boobie Island being in Vegas. A place famous for boobies. Where better to embrace the Boobie Island lifestyle. /emoticons/cool.gif

I think the ppl in GA are nicer ;o)

Weren't all the Savannians nice to you Joe??? ;o)
