Update on RL - for better or worse!

That should probably read "worse for wear" ha ha.   I heard today that my biggest project at work (which I've been working on since November 2010) and which had a deadline of this coming Tuesday 17th January has just been pulled (i.e. is not to complete - aaaagh!) so I went home and did this:

wa! thats such rubbish!!!! im sorry to hear, and pls dont give up to the disaster.. =___=

i never had such a long term work and especially a drop off (that the right term to use?) on such a scale either.. what annoyed me alot in the past was a design for a logo.. i designed 3 brilliant designs which they dislike.d. then they requested their version completely different with "kids" in so i vectored everything took me a day and they didnt like it.. they gave it to *another* company which basically took *my* vectore recopied it crappily added some frills on them and resend it to the client... apparently they didnt like that either (thank god they didnt or i wouldve gone personally and done some damage..) but the other company is a pretty serious company so i was pretty appalled and offended of what they ddi O_o

/close ramble/

i cant completely agree with the alcoholic way of forgetting but i heard it works ok sometimes ^^ XD sry i am not a fan of cocktails/ alcoholics... bu t CAN agree on the choice of Blue Curacao since thats the only alcoholic i enjoy drinking XD tho usually mine is much lighter with orange juice .. so i end up having it in green...

yay for new graphics card tho :D nice note to finish with! enjoy the camera :D

It IS extremely annoying and frustrating but I'm moved on in my mind now. Just need to archive all the paperwork when I get to the office on Monday and dive headfirst into something else.

We probably don't use the term "drop off" in that sense. We'd more likely say "pull out" (bit like troops pulling out of a battle zone!). You can say that the project has been "pulled", "scratched", "derailed", or "cancelled" - the result's the same!

Oh, at least your tiresome bosses didn't like the other company's work either. Can't you apply for work/a job at the other "pretty serious" company?? Sounds as though your work is good enough.

Lots of friends gave me cocktail ingredients for my birthday in November so it seemed a shame not to try a few! Citrus is the base of curacao so your orange juice idea probably works nicely, even if the colour is green.

Thanks - I'm sort of enjoying the camera but more LEARNING it at the moment. Sometimes I think I need to take it to obedience classes...
