D'you know: while I was waiting for the page to load I was looking at it thinking, it just ain't right. It's not so much the design for me, it's the colour: just doesn't go with the colour scheme of the rest of the page.
 
Not enough stinky pork chops in this world grinds my gears! :mad:

dogs should be in charge... then there would be no more problems because the world would go:

"AWWWWW!

That STINKY thing is just TOO CUTE!!! :D

Why were we all fighting like apes in the first place....? :confused:

Let us love each other because these dogs love each other and we stupid loser human scum bags don't even love each other so why can't we just be like them? :)"

And SO... that was the end of World War 3 kiddies as we know it! :)

Dogs saved humanity (sadly) once again! :)
 
I spend more of my time convincing the boss of what I am doing it correct than actually doing it.

He throws out crazy ideas that no normal person would think of, then continues to push them until you finally put the foot down and by most accounts yell at him. He then backs down and gives in.

This happens with every idea, design and decision that has to be made. It's tiring and has made quite a few people quit.

I'm starting to get burnt out. I would rather work for someone that just "gets" it and is willing to back my years of experience rather than try to tell me what to do in areas that they have no idea what's going on.

I'm sure this is normal but it's something that I don't want to deal with.
 
Got your resume ready?

Were I in that position, I'd probably tell him pretty much what you just said now-- let me do my job or you'll be looking for a replacement.

Yeah it's frustrating to say the least.

For instance we are doing a project where everyone in the office has given positive feedback, outsiders have also given positive feedback. The project is pretty amazing.

But to the boss it's missing large chunks of info and looks to simple.

He is the only one that thinks like this. Now you may say that he can do that because he is the boss and you would be right. But it's ridiculous because he can't not touch anything. He has to make everything more complicated. Anything he touches turns into a piece of crap.

He can't let anyone do anything better than what he would. He is going to ruin his business.

Crazy.

Anyway. I'll deal for a bit.

Seriously, man-- deal as you will, but have that resume warmed up and start shopping for something better.

Because what I see happening is that you will deal until he pushes you to the breaking point and you are going to just walk. Better to have somewhere to walk to, rather than being out on the street with no prospects at all.

Well...the doggies that have been domesticated by us humans are pretty cuddly, but I don't think I'd like packs of wild dogs running the world anytime soon. :p;)
 
I prefer Weezes and cats, not in that order. Been hunting around all day for smart-ass ferret sayings - Like "you built it, I can destroy it." "Look out socks, here I come."

All I can find is commercial shirts, and blogs for ferrets. I'm designing a Christmas Card.
I did find a "ferrets 12 days of Christmas" and might have to use a quote from that.

Where does I can has Cheeseburger get the smartass stuff on the animals?
 
What really grinds my gears is losing my keys at work this morning, getting home before I found out and realising my spare keys were in my flat! Luckily my manager found them in the afternoon. I was quoted
 
Lol I had a blast and gave some lighties a mini heart attack! :D

I wonder if I gave them too much of a scare you know?

Hmm.... I think they kind of panic a bit I did it so well... hmm ja.

Well you know what grinds my gears!?!?!

Plastic bubble packaging. Got a good cut trying to open one of those blister packs.
If some people didn't feel they were entitled to things using a 5 finger discount, the packages wouldn't be so hazardous.
 
Why do people not call the phones by their proper names?! There's a reason why we don't call them by their model number. This is how conversations would like: "Hey you got the Samsung GT-I9500?" "Nah. I still got the Samsung DPH-120!"

Call them their proper names!
 
My phone is the Galaxy S II Epic 4G, which is different from the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy S II Epic. For that reason I specify both the name and model number.

For that matter, there are several different Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 models, with different capabilities, so knowing the specific model number allows one to judge whether a specific piece of advice is likely to apply to the case at hand.

It's cause most people that I meet are like, "Ooh! You have that Google phone!" And I'm like, "No. It's called a Nexus." :P Sorry for the misunderstanding, Dngrsone lol

This, absolfreakinglutely! That is one of my greatest pet peeves, ever. That's why I use a paper towel while grabbing the door handle when leaving the bathroom. I don't want to touch anyone else's junk! :mad:
