ghayro.
work sucks.
in case noone noticed previously.
work sucks.
clients suck.
jobs suck.
and design sucks.

design is slavery.
slavery was abolished in 1926 (Slavery Convention, initiated by the League of Nations).
design should be abolished any moment now.
we'll hear about in the news.
i heard the UN created UNICADP, the united nations' international committee for the abolishment of design practices. the committee appointed in every country an investigator to inquire about design sweat shops that have opened fully legally and that undertake the suction of ideas by the means of massive nuclear brainstorming sessions. it turns out everybody knows about it, but it's very hush hush. the big corporation firms have brainwashed their employees into thinking staying for unpaid overtime is cool. stress and frustration is cool too, apparently. these decisions have been vastly welcomed by the tobacco industry and more importantly the alcohol industry. ever since the creation of these sweat shops their sales have increased, and they are definitely back in business.
wishful thinking

did i mention work sucks?
yeah...

tebb enough blabbering. am going back to the sweat shop.
i hate design.
i hate graphic design. it's time and brain consuming and completely useless.
not to mention, often unpaid.

clients suck.
clients should die. not in the litteral sense, of course. "clientness" should die—the state of being a client. that, should die.

i hate.
been hating for a while now.
but i really really hate.
hate.
h.a.t.e.
hate.
