Dude my life is sooooo busy!
I am so exhausted. I have been working like a dog. I am not getting paid enough for my job, I figured that out the first week. I've been going in at 8 and leaving between 6 and 6:30.
This week we're celebrating the grand opening of a coffee shop so it's kind of cool because I'm getting to see all these designs I've created come to life, but it's also pretty crazy hectic with tons of projects to get finished. I had to build an entire website from concept to live in like 5 days. Tomorrow I get to code a blog in addition to the site.
It's funny just how much time is taken out of my day due to my exhaustion from work. I get home at 7 and then have to deal with dinner and a shower, by then it's like 8:30 and then half the time after that I have laundry to do so even when I'm watching tv or whatever I am still busy.
On the up side the owner of the company told me he was impressed with my work and I was told to order myself some business cards. Then my boss got me (or the graphic designer who would have my job) a new computer. If you recall I was kind of upset at having to use my own computer at work, so it's kind of good that they bought a computer for me. I originally thought that they bought it for me cause they knew that I was using my own computer and they wanted to let me take mine home, but I realize now that it's because the adobe software I was using was a 30 day trial and instead of using a licsence up on my personal computer and then having to use another one later when they eventually bought a computer, they just went ahead and purchased the office computer earlier so that they could use the licsense on the eventual computer. Or maybe I really do have a long term job.
Right now my biggest fear with the job is that it will become a production assistant job, where I don't have any control creative or otherwise. I want to be able to own what I do and take pride in my work and I can't do that if all I'm doing is simply production.
Anyway, other than work I haven't had much time for anything else. I did hear yesterday that KANSAS, YES FUCKING KANSAS, CREATORS/SINGERS OF THE SUPERNATURAL ULTRA MEGA AWESOMENESS HIT 'CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON' ARE PLAYING IN COLUMBUS AT PICNIC WITH THE POPS!!!!
I'M TOTALLY GOING TO GET TICKETS FOR ONLY 18 DOLLARS!!!!!!!!
YES!!
Woo! So that will be a fun night. :D
