exercise programs: the epitome of clickbait in Random Commentary
They totally lie to get you to sign on, and that lie usually involves saying something like “you can transform your body with this simple one-minute move every morning.” They take 20 minutes to ...
If job descriptions were honest... in Random Commentary
Develop top-quality artwork in a high volume production environment that is dynamic and fluid. Translation: Create a crapload of stellar artwork while we randomly and constantly change our mind...
The manchild in Random Commentary
Yeah. Work extra hours all week so you can have Friday off to do stuff before I fly home. Then lay around on Friday like the grinch crawled up your butt for no reason. Thanks. Can I have the man...
trophies for all in Random Commentary
Throwing away time on Facebook, I scroll by a post from my old job saying they won an award for a web design. Naturally, I had to check it out to see how much of a loser I might be in comparison....
not quite a naturopath in Random Commentary
I totally don’t think special healing clay is a cure-all for the ravages of all disease. But I am totally on board with natural things having their place and efficacy. I am on board because thing...
Buy a Mac. Kiss your productivity goodbye. in Random Commentary
I love it when photoshop crashes. I have to hope my work was saved or a backup exists that I can restore when I relaunch the program. But that’s just my home PC. Doesn’t happen often. Costs me a ...
the imprecision that is in Cricut Adventures from a Designer's Perspective
…Design Space. Oh Cricut, another fail. I never thought it would be so difficult to place a .5”x2.5” piece of brass on a mat and engrave on it. I suppose it’s not. Unless you have no idea where t...
Preliminary engraving in Cricut Adventures from a Designer's Perspective
Got my engraving tip yesterday and ran it on my previously failed attempt on the brass plate. It only did one letter before randomly stopping and Design Space saying “oops! It didn’t work!” (So h...
The struggle bus that is... in Cricut Adventures from a Designer's Perspective
…Design Space. I switched gears last night to what I thought would be a much simpler project: engraving some text on five 2.5”x.5” inch .6mm thick brass plates (or aluminum if the brass proves to...
Waiting on the Mac... Again in Random Commentary
I’ll never understand the apple fan boys / girls. I thought the majority of the blame lay in the network at work. Until yesterday when working on files that were local on my desktop. And it wa...
designer & volunteer: a cringe-worthy dialogue in Random Commentary
Volunteer: hey! Our president gave me the go ahead to start a blog on the website. Can you help? Me (the designer), to self: Oh that’s cool; someone else can generate ongoing content for the site...
mac fail, yet again in Random Commentary
Wow Finder. One operation at a time? Really? And if I try more than one, just stop working altogether? Really? And when Finder stops working, the whole machine stops working, which means I stop ...
fail mac strikes again in Random Commentary
Twice in one damn day. This is why I legitimately hate macs. Save a file, Photoshop stops responding, and then Finder crashes and burns with it. All that works next is a cold shut down. Twice it...
look alive, mac in Random Commentary
Yup. Deadline in an hour and a half and all my time getting sucked up by the Mac as it decides to crash finder. Yet again. Seriously have never had as many computer problems as when Finder is inv...
mac hater in Random Commentary
If I added up all the time I lose by sitting around waiting for my mac at work to remember how to do something, I think I’d have an extra week of vacation every year. And what is up with the deaf...

crappy hosting companies in Random Commentary
Here they are: Bluehost, Justhost, 1and1, Godaddy, Network Solutions. This is based on my experience working with them. And here are the reasons why: Bluehost Slow, random downtime, and complete...
failure in user experience in Random Commentary

unnecessary drama in Random Commentary
Here’s a thought… If you don’t want nude photos of yourself getting out, then don’t take any. Problem solved. This entry is brought to you by the random famous people who think the internet is a...
public restrooms in Random Commentary
Why don't all public restrooms have music playing, or a waterfall, or a fan blowing, or pretty much any kind of white noise? It's the pinnacle of awkward trying to do your business in dead silen...
5 years in Random Commentary
Isn't it odd how an age difference of 5 years can be so drastically wrong and completely acceptable at the same time? My husband and I are 5 years apart. We got together when he was 26 and I was...
Mmm...used food in Random Commentary
I was on Amazon, poking around for some odd items not normally carried by grocery stores. I think it was coconut cream or something of that nature. And I saw the good old "12 new from $5" & ...
marketing scheme conspiracy theorist in Random Commentary
Why does every little thing I ever sign up for assume I want to automatically be added to their stupid email list? I don't. I never read that crap. I hate being marketed to. Bill Burr says it ...
vintage crap in Random Commentary
I love Etsy. But I have to laugh when junk labeled with the magical word "vintage" is suddenly worth spending $50 on.
