Design Tip #1 - Working with a Graphic Designer

Okay, just because you are supposedly the boss of a graphic designer does not mean that you suddenly possess any kind of design skills. You went to school for Public Relations, I went to school to be a kick ass designer. I do not tell you how to relate publicly you should NEVER require me to change a design because you "think a watermark would look really cool there."

I KNOW that a watermark would not look "really cool" there because

1) I went to art school for four years to receive my BFA - NOT YOU
2) I keep up with current design trends
3) No has used a fucking watermark in a design since they've done their stationary in the 80s.

Do NOT tell me how to do my fucking job because you think that you're creative because you picked a dusty orange color to paint you goddamn living room. For your information, painting any room orange was so two years ago anyways.

Rice Krispie Treat with Chocolate Frosting

My best friend, Erika, recently mentioned driving in her car and eating chips or cheetos or fries or something. It was probably hour 7 of our drinking that weekend, so SOR-RY if I don't remember it exactly. BUT, she was saying that she dropped a piece of the snack in the car and couldn't find it. About a week later she found the missing piece - examined it, shrugged her shoulders and ate it. I thought this was the funniest thing ever. Okay, not ever, but it did make me laugh wholeheartedly. I thought to myself "I've never done that, and actually I wouldn't be surprised if I ever did."

Then this morning happened. I opened up my drawer to consume my yummy rice krispie treat with chocolate frosting that I purchased the day before at my company's bake sale. When I went to unwrap said krispie, part of the napkin stuck to it. I vehemently tried to get the darn napkin off, but Jesus Christ, it was a rice krispie treat - VERY STICKY.

So I just ate through it. Not too much of a different taste actually. Now I am happy.

Oh yeah, my other best friend, Mindy, got kicked out of the Crocodile Cafe last night. Did you know they have bouncers - WITH T-SHIRTS! I was amazed. But I got a free CD from The Lights. I think they felt sorry for me.

Happy Friday Everyone!
