(no subject)

I'm stuck in InDesign Training for 6 1/2 days.

on the pro side:
I can say I've had professional, certified InDesign Training.
I can even put it on my resume.
I don't have to listen to whiny clients for 5 hours every day.

On the con side:
I know what a Maaaaaaster Paaaage is, thank you very much. I even know how to use them.
The whining I am subject to is ratcheted up 60% while I am here to compensate for when I'm not.
My vendor's are feeling neglected because I'm not here to answer their questions and approve proofs.
The work simply isn't getting done because I'm not hitting my stride until I'm forced to get up and leave.
The earlier and earlier I leave to get there in time, the later I'm getting there, and my eating schedule is all fucked up as a result.


I've learned a few cool things, but not enough to justify this waste of time. Yesterday! I was Taught! How to draw a CIRCLE! using the Peeeeeeeen tooooooool!
*groans*
4 more days. just 4 more days.

I realized that officially this year, I've been using these programs and fucking with design for half of my life. (For those of you keeping score in the home game, that means I'm 28, and been dicking around in this field since I was 14.)
It was an uncanny feeling to realize that. To know that every year from here on out, statistically I've been working longer than just 'living'. It's weird.


*sigh*
I have a thing. I do that thing pretty well. It makes me money so I can live. I don't particularly enjoy it, but at this point, it's cake. I'm well under the 10k mark on my student loans, so once they are paid off, it's *all* cake. I can start getting a return on my investment of time.


I'm just bored with it already.

Your result for The Golden Compass Daemon Test...

Calm Thoughtful Soul

You are a calm and restrained person, and you don't usually let your emotions get the better of you. Your friends and family are very important to you, and you enjoy spending time with them. However, you need to get away from them occasionally, because you need regular time to yourself to unwind a bit.

You are thoughtful and sensitive to the needs of others, especially your loved ones. You make an excellent listener, and your friends rely on you to be their rock in times of trouble. It is rare that you ask them to return the favour, however: you are a private person, and you rarely talk about your feelings. You don't like confrontation, and you don't usually react when someone hurts your feelings. You try to give people the benefit of the doubt, and you don't want to cause a fuss. You pick your battles, and when someone steps over the line, you surprise them with the vehemence of your emotions.

Your daemon's form would represent your poised, confident nature and your calm self restraint. He or she would probably rarely speak in public, but when alone, you and he/she could review the day, and he or she could provide the reassurance and comfort that you deny yourself by keeping your emotions bottled up.

Suggested forms:
Cheetah, Crane, Wolf, Raven.
