How I did it
How to get a cool design job
It took me
3 years
It made me
stupid

How I did it: Since I was not able to find design work that was satisfying to me, I left my soul-sucking, dull design job and started my own business, publishing a magazine. Having all the creative control and implementing my artistic visions is a lot more satisfying than working for someone else. Sure, sometimes the subject matter is not something I am passionate about, and I still have to deal with clients' opinions, but the direction & style of … Read how I did it…

How to find a new job
It took me
1 month
It made me
stupid

How I did it: I was looking for a new job and interviewing for nearly 3 years. Unexpectedly, the opportunity arose for me to start my own business. I did it in an amazingly short amount of time! It's too soon to say that it's a complete success, but it has a lot of promise and is off to a good start.Update: It has gone very badly....very, very badly. I regret it all... :((((( Read how I did it…

What's with these guys 2 months ago

on dating sites who message you with some insulting comment? Do they think they are setting themselves apart? Do they really enjoy wasting their time and effort on someone they don’t like? I don’t know….but I do know it elicits the same response from me every time: DELETE.

Have a totally different life by this time next year (read all 6 entries…)
Back to square one 4 months ago

It is so depressing to say…
I have lost everything I had built since college.

I gave up my job & now have to give up my business.
I’ve drained my savings to support this business.
I’ve lost my apartment because I cannot afford it now.
I’ve lost my independence, as I will return to my parents and be dependent upon them until I can get a new job.
I’ve lost or grown away from several friendships as my focus on my business took so much of my time.
I’ve lost any sense of self worth, pride, confidence etc.
I’ve lost whatever shred of faith/trust I had in my fellow human.

My life is different from last year in that last year was full of hope & promise, and this year is just a series of dashed dreams…
