Adjay77’s Memories…

nd when you think things can’t get any worse… It just got worse. This 9 whole days of December has been one of the most depressing days for this whole year! Not to mention the last two weeks of November. Its just one of those days you wish it would just end quickly to end the suffering. All nighter doing work and coming home at the crack of dawn only to come back to the office at 9 (my body is still readjusting and still not fully recovered). A boss who excepts jobs which needs to be done in three days time. A boss who like to do things last minute and then dumps everything on others so that he can return to his G5 mixing non-stop-music for himself which has no connection AT ALL with the work at hand. If its not that he’s pounding away at the keyboard doing god knows what in his private la-la land sending emails to goodness knows where. (For those who has a good imagination, I think you can sense the sarcasm and anger behind my words…)
…
There are also some things that is BEYOND my control that may effect my work that even the Boss may not understand. Mainly because (in my opinion) he has never experienced it. He sits in his RAV4 zooming left right and centre not even realizing not all people has the luxury of having a problem free transportation. I believe that any kind of machinery has a mind of its own. It could work wonderfully for months on end wether is a simple watch or a complicated computer or car. Or on some time it just screws with you big time and gets you in a whole lot of trouble befitting of a grand execution. Today I came in Late at 10.30 am. It was not my fault. The bike wont start. I spent close to an hour trying to fix it and when I got into the office, I got an ear-full…
…
The scooter not starting all the sudden in the morning?
ITS BEYOND MY CONTROL you stupid F**K!!
.
The small mishap at the Car of the Year Event where the Mac wasn’t doing what it’s suppose to during presentation?
ITS BEYOND MY CONTROL you stupid F**K!!
.
The iMac software suddenly not able to open an application causing me not able to get the file the boss needs urgently last minute?
ITS BEYOND MY CONTROL you stupid F**K!!
.
The boss not liking Adobe Illustrator and calling it Unprofessional? Try making graphics in Quark or Photoshop…
IT DOESN’T WORK LIKE THAT you stupid F**K!!
.
Quark is for copywriters and text layout! Photoshop is for image editing and montages!
ILLUSTRATOR IS FOR CREATING GRAPHICS you stupid F**K!!
…
That is why there are Graphic Designers around. We’re the people who are behind the creativity you see around you wether its in the press, TVC or radio. Not the bosses. Not the brand Execs. Not operations. Its us Designers who actually put our lives on hold so that these other people can get all the glory. And if it doesn’t work, they blame it on us. They wont take our ideas, but insist we use theirs. An if we give an opinion, they think we’re being difficult. We’re your employees. Not your slave. We have opinions to be voiced out. We’re not Mute. We have ideas (no matter it big or small). We’re not Dumb. And we have feelings. We’re not Heartless.
…
A word of advice for those out there. Never do things last minute. NEVER except things that require last minute (unless you’re sure you can do it with enough time to do corrections). Never give an explanation because the other person will never listen to you. Never take advice from people who calls other people unprofessional but they themselves do not want to learn something new.
And if your given a 2 weeks notice, when you get the chance, F**K them up real good (the bigger the account the better)…
…
Thank You for listening to My Angry Screaming Heart.
Nuf’ Said. LaterZ.
