  1. Some days I love my job, and some days it's nothing but a source of annoyance (courtesy of unhelpful clients w/ unrealistic deadlines) 10:53 AM Apr 24th via Twitter for iPhone
  2. Being a little more established in my business (not desperate for work) means I don't have to put up with crappy client treatment/policies. 3:57 PM Jan 20th via web
  3. I hate burning bridges with past clients, but sometimes they don't give you much of a choice. :-\ 3:53 PM Jan 20th via web
  4. Very cool! RT @the99percent: How one designer represents the antiquity of type in a digital age. cot.ag/ws1WN4 7:11 PM Jan 6th via Twitter for iPhone
  5. Just got back from a fun client meeting, and am excited about this project. Some heavy Photoshop work in my future, yay! 12:32 PM Jan 6th via web
  6. The time between when I left for Xmas and now has been surprisingly relaxing. Magic happens when clients respect the out of office notice :) 2:32 PM Jan 3rd via web
  7. Fought traffic and crappy weather to check my PO box, expecting a big check to be there by now. Empty box. Not my favorite. #wasteoftime 1:19 PM Dec 2nd, 2011 via web
  8. Hrm. Significant changes to Adobe CS upgrade policy in the works. I'm on CS5, so doesn't affect me, but still not cool. scottkelby.com/blog/2011/arch… 2:05 PM Nov 29th, 2011 via web
  9. Just got an invite to my 10-year high school reunion (next year). Yikes. 10:57 AM Nov 29th, 2011 via web
  10. @DiscvrRoundRock Ha! I might just have to try that. :) 8:13 PM Nov 17th, 2011 via Twitter for iPhone in reply to DiscvrRoundRock
  11. On the other hand, clients who don't quibble on $$ & provide all info/mats I need so I can do the work: AWESOME. :-D Have a few, need more. 4:30 PM Nov 17th, 2011 via web
  12. My time, skills & creativity are valuable. Don't like the provided quote? Go elsewhere. Like to someone less good who only charges pennies. 4:25 PM Nov 17th, 2011 via web
  13. Nothing annoys me more in this biz than people responding to a quote questioning whether I'm sure that's my price. As if it's up to them. 4:22 PM Nov 17th, 2011 via web
  14. Just visited a website that auto-resized the browser to fill up my whole screen AND had bkg music I couldn't turn off. #why #pleasestop #bad 6:00 PM Nov 2nd, 2011 via web
