You know what would absolutely rock? If Bill Richardson was actually the Democratic candidate for '08. I would actually WANT to vote for him, rather than settling on the lesser of two evils. I'll grant you Obama isn't too bad a choice either, and Hilary is probably one of the greatest political minds I've ever seen, but it would be awesome if New Mexico actually had something to be proud of. Richardson is basically why New Mexico doesn't completely suck.

So, in other news, I almost fell down the stairs walking to work today. It was really embarrassing. Fortunately I caught myself, otherwise I would have toppled into the guy walking ahead of me, and that would have been really terrible.

I managed to only design one site today. That sucks a lot, considering I average 4 in an afternoon. I also had to reprint and staple something twice, which really sucks, because stapling is basically the ONLY thing in our office that isn't automated. And ... yeah. Doing it 50 times is no darn fun.

I also love Ben Folds.

I was entirely ready to come home and rant about how shitty my job had suddenly became.

We had a meeting at like 2, where we basically got a tutorial in how to use a template. Made me feel like I was being treated like a retard, first of all. Secondly, it pissed me off, because basically it was them showing us that we were being denied any kind of creative liberties. Templates blow. I do not want to USE templates. So, after the meeting, I spent a good hour or so being pissed with Matt about how this suddenly became a job that any moron could do. I was ready to quit and get a retail job. The guy who was giving the tutorial came in and asked us for our feedback, and we both expressed our disdain.

About an hour after that, my immediate supervisor, Brandon, came in, and told us not to worry. He too realized that this new form could have been done by anybody pulled off the street. He told us, straight up, that this was basically the plan. Our new job, once this system gets fully integrated, will actually involve more design than just the websites and brochures.

So, I'm not all that pissed. Sadly, by the time this system actually gets integrated, I'll be in Oklahoma.

Oh well.

I made a startling revelation at work today: McDonald's breakfast and office work do not mix.

Then it dawned on me that McDonald's doesn't really mix well with anything but pooping all day.

We listened to Mitch Hedburg at work today. It was really entertaining. I also found out interesting things. Apparently the reason they were desperate to hire people was because they had to fire like... half the staff. Why? Well, one person decided to start her own company and was asking a bunch of people there to switch. One of the clients reported it, and she got fired, along with everyone who was in league with her.

Crazy.

In other work related news, I have two interviews tomorrow. One of them is a full time typesetting position, and the other is an internship that is actually cool and I would like.

I don't have anything else to say.

There you have it. I'm officially done.

Granted I was done with school last week, but we did the portfolio review thing this morning.

It was SUPER boring. I basically stood around for 3 hours while random people walked by and looked at it passively. I saw some friends and such, which was awesome. The super awesome part, however, is that I got 3 job offers. Which, y'know, basically equals fuck yeah. The first one was this lady that came by and said she'd seen my portfolio and had been trying to get in contact with me, so she gave me her business card and said to look at their website to see if I'm interested. That was super awesome.

The second one was an internship, but I can't remember the third. Still, 3 job offers. Awesometastic.

My family showed up. And they were... there. My mom took like 20 pictures of me and my display. Sara and Liz showed up at 11:30 or so, but they saw my family, and so my family was dodged.

Um... yeah. Nothing else.
