I've been working a job with so much potential (cause its so shite) for so long that I have nothing current in my portfolio that is worth a damn.
The only redeeming feature is that everytime I get close to talking about the boss about quitting I seem to get a $1000 cash bonus.
Anyone got any projects in ID that they would like some extra help. I really need to jump up a level in what I'm doing so I can regain some of my confidence and chutzpah.
Help me please,
Signed an underappreciated design genius.

My freelance stuff has dried up - my main client moved 2000ks away, and my other work is on hold due to the economy.
Dang it, why can't people realise that by stepping up their marketing in this climate they can steal marketshare from those that aren't ready to take advantage?

I guess the main problem is I'm in a rut, and working long hours on soul destroying work with no creativity. All I end up doing is reading a million QBN threads and aimlessly surfing the net cause I'm so tired and drained.
It's not entirely work either. My Ex is from hell, and trying her best to keep the kids away from me. My work problems would probably seem insignificant if she somehow disappeared, or miraculously remembered how to be fair or nice.

So Calles, what you are saying is that I should tie up my boss and go psycho?
I'm not sure that kind of creativity would further my career. The blood spatter on the wall might have some kind of artistic merit, and I might even string together a pulitzer prize winning lines of a monologue, but really? Is this gonna help me further my career?

i quit my job at a national t shirt chain as lead designer at the end of the summer and i'm still looking for work
it was an awful job, with next to no pay, no benefits, very little creativity, and a art director with the backbone of a squid, so i felt pretty justified in leaving
but finding work is no easy picnic
i have next to nothing to show for the work, portfolio wise
the biggest thing was their 2009 catalogue, and even then it was a pile of shit by the time the company owner (and the sales people, and the accountants, huh?) got their grubby hands all over ito well, life goes on
