Been Awhile

Wow, where do the days go? It has been quite some time since I posted some ramblings here. The holidays came and went, got to visit with the family. The new job is starting to get rolling. In fact, lots of work is on the horizon.

On the plus side, lots of work is coming, on the negative side, I feel like I have to compromise my personal design values as it is mainly small companies that are happy with a rinky dink web site rather than a visual piece of work. So the boss man wants low bids to not freak out customers who will be purchasing other services from our company. So I have to make "basic" sites for now and if they want more it will be charged as add ons. I really don't like working like that but at the same time if I'm doing 3 to 4 web sites a week from 300 to 500 each that is not to bad money wise. Especially since the funds are getting low after a half a year lay off. One thing I did learn is if you work for a company as the only design person, and they have lots of salespeople out hitting the streets web and graphic design jobs come flying in the door. Interesting.....very very interesting.
