- Nutter64
My significant other died 3 days ago. I spent the last day and a half sitting in a chair next to the hospital bed holding hands and talking. Something very surreal about seeing a oxygen counter slowly go do and then the person you love is just gone.
All you had planed, all you had hoped for, gone and never coming back. We got 12 years together, I wish we had gotten more, but I'm grateful for what we got.
Enjoy your time together, you never know when its suddenly gone.

My wife called me into the dining room today in a sort of serious tone. I walk in and she shows me our mortgage account on her laptop where it shows a balance of around $1100 and she's smiling. She proceeds to tell me that she's been selling her stocks and has been making payments on the house with the money she's made from that. As I'm picking my jaw up off the floor, she tells me that she's on her way to make the last payment. The last payment!
She has stayed home with our boys and hasn't had a job for 8 years now, but she's always made the most of it helping with their schoolwork, teaching them another language, swimming, sports, all while I work - and doing it all sensibly from a money standpoint.Our house is not big, or lavish but it's ours and I can't fucking believe we own it!

Since the topic of age is a fairly active one let me add to it with more comments here.
(QBN has stood the test of time,,,,it is a small miracle....but long energetic threads are diminished by the design...)
I am 62 and I still push pixels, as they say. I do Motion Design for a Fortune 500 company and I still enjoy doing it. And I am valued for what I do, in fact I am a bottleneck because I am so busy. My work winds up being on social media and websites and other places.
What I hear in this discussion is this idea that somehow design is a young person's game. That is bullshit. Designers are not different than artists - you create things. If you are passionate about your work you don't stop when you are 35. And experience makes you better. Think about how many famous artists and illustrators and designers did their work until their dying breath. Matisse did a drawing a few hours before he died....Paul Rand worked until the end...and so on.
I have no plans on stopping. I have more work in me. And the work I see coming out is inspiring in that a lot of it sucks and some of it is amazing and new. It is a fascinating time to be a visual designer because everything is changing under our feet.
There is a sense in the work world that you have to move to management at a certain age. Why? What is wrong with honing your skills and continuing to provide value with the work of your two hands, instead of directing others?
At my work they can throw some bullshit copy at me and I can turn it into a competent piece of motion design in a day. This is what experience and skill can do. And despite the bullshit copy, I still enjoy putting it together.
And that, really is the key. Since we all mostly have to work, what kind of work gives you some satisfaction? I still love making key frames. I learned late in the game that I did not enjoy trying to tell some arrogant 20 something why their design idea was not working (you see why I should not be a manager).
Union tradesmen like electricians don't feel like failures if they do not move into management, Lawyers still work on individual cases as they get older. Look at Guiliani! (that's a joke son)
You do have to be a little bit brave though. Because our culture, and those arrogant 20 somethings, do not view an aging designer as someone to learn from, unlike a lawyer or electrician. Many think you should just move into management, old man. Fuck them I say.
- Couldn't agree more. The thought of swapping creative for management is horrid. Yeh, fuck all those arrogant upstarts ;)Morning_star
- Great post. Actual cool story, bro! :)nb

- a deserved clap and head nodmisterhow
- agreed 100%
also just lost a job 'cuz they wanted "more of a team manager" I said I wanted to still design, not go into managementgrafician - Great post. I do wonder why in a lot of agencies everyone is under 35 though.Chimp
- Totally agree, well said. The tools change but the core tenets of design don't. With experience come a valuable higher-level perspective.BaskerviIle
- to nb: I don't know the answer to that. Everyone is different. Money is part of it. Passion is part of it.dkoblesky
- This is good. I fall into that other category that went management at one point or another. I "design on the side" because management has been soul sucking.ben_

Well, my grandmother died of fucking Covid Sunday. We had already started planning her 100th birthday at the end of January. But instead, she is dead. She died four hours after arriving at the hospital. I was the only one that was able to go see her body. I suited up from head to toe and sat next to her lifeless body for 30 minutes.
Our entire family is vaccinated and we all stayed away from her for over a year. Except for my idiot fucking uncle that thinks he's some kind of reincarnated, Yogi, Hindu god. Always leeching off her, always in her ear whispering non-sense medical advice like don't take the vaccine. So of course he isn't vaccinated and guess who the only person to see her regularly was. Fuck this disease and fuck the internet with its evil tentacles deceiving so many low IQ humans!

What a difference 24 hours makes.
Just when you think it's all irreparably falling apart, awesomeness comes out of nowhere. Since yesterday afternoon's chat with my landlady:
• A headhunter I connected with put my CV forward to one of the big network agencies, who are looking for a CD and she feels I'll get an interview with them;
• I just had a phone interview with a small agency in Stuttgart who are also looking for a CD, and they want to meet me next Friday;
• An HR person from one of the large German content marketing agencies found me on LinkedIn, and sent me a message asking if I would like to be considered for a CD job they have in Munich, and wants to schedule a call.Now, it's up to me to keep this momentum going, and to bring it to fruition.
Needless to say, I'm incredibly grateful for this fantastic turn of events, and to all of you for putting up with me this week.
Happy Thursday!

Started out my morning with a soft rejection from an agency after 3 interviews. "We found a way to cover our production needs with existing resources, " they said, "Check back at the top of the year. We'd love to possibly see you first quarter."
Then, holy shit i just got the email from Interscope Records. The budget for a project I bid on last week has been approved and we shoot this Sunday. Time to bust my ass for the rest of the week preparing. This is going to be my biggest, most expensive music video production in my portfolio. I am thrilled! What a rush!
I'm really hoping this leads to some great commercial work next year. It will definitely lead to more music videos (it's been a few years).
And then, a different large agency reached out today for a Senior Content Producer position. "Would you consider relocating to Austin late next year?" You mean to a place where houses are actually affordable? Yes! Can't wait to have that conversation.
I've got to remember to keep my head up. When one door closes, another door or two opens.

Heavy Post Alert -
"Your wife has colon cancer"
These were the words I heard on September 23 when I picked my sweet wife up from a colonoscopy. She had a few worrying symptoms recently, she's 45. I stood in the waiting room with our two sons (4 and 5) and when my wife walked out, we looked at each other and cried. We were terrified.
The doctor was certain about it being cancer, because the tumor was so big that he couldn't even perform the colonoscopy. We knew we needed to act quickly. So my wife got all of the necessary catscans, blood tests and other prep stuff done and we found a recommended a surgeon.
October 10 the surgery was performed successfully removing the affected area - a colon resection. Then we had to wait for the pathologist results to test what stage the cancer was, and if it had spread to other parts of the body. My tough-as-shit wife was out of the hospital in 2 days, walking around with 13 staples in her stomach.
Last Wednesday we got great news that a 5 cm tumor, stage 2 cancer was removed and did not spread to other parts of the body. The sense of relief we both felt, I can't do it justice.
We'll have lots of regular blood tests, and frequent colonoscopys (FUN!) and the oncologist may suggest chemotherapy if they want to take a very aggressive treatment route. But we're just so happy with how things have worked out.
Not really sure why I feel the need to post this, I think it feels good to get it off my chest - but it feels like life starts now.
Peace y'all- :)monospaced

- How do you know you might have a polyp? Can you feel something odd in your digestive tract as food passes through?shapesalad
- ^ no way to tell other than a colonoscopy. they are small and don't usually interfere with digestion. this is why colon cancer is rarely detected until it's tooGnash

Dont want to be over dramatic here, but we've put our cat to sleep this evening, she was 17 y-o.
I know that kind of stuff looks unimportant for people that dont have animals or that dont love and respect animals. But for people who have a pet that they love, they understand and they understand even more if they have ever put a furry friend to sleep. It's very tough.
Just wanted to share this with you guys, if you have a pet, love him as much as he love you, their lifes are very short.
This is the last picture of her before the vet arrive. I'll never take picture of her again :(

haven't been around these parts in a while.
ten weeks ago i was brought to a psych ward for detox & suicidal intent. after sobering up was diagnosed as bipolar 2, which is an extended major depression followed by hypermanic episodes lasting 4-7 days. provided a lot of clarity on the past 20 years of life.
spent the last two months inpatient at a psych facility dealing with SI (suicidal ideation), alcoholism and mental health. finally thinking i can face the world again, just got a 60 day chip and whatnot, will be returning to life & attempting to live.
then i just found a bump on my back has turned into a large painful something or other that could certainly be cancerous but fingers crossed that it isn't.
so suffice to say life has been interesting / it's been a long year.
