Oh don't you start

Your excitement and enthusiasm will soon fade.
All that will be left will be other people opinions and the desire to kick someones lungs out. Not meaning to be negative, but I am currently desperately trying to claw my way out a very similar position.

It's amazing how fickle and idiotic people can be when it comes to web design. They give you no brief, ask you to 'just come up with something' and when you do they tell you it's not really what they are looking for. Then, THEN they tell you in a half arsed way what they were looking for initially, and even then they're 'not really sure'.

Good luck anyways mate, maybe you will be working normal people, as opposed to hare lipped manatees..

i read clients from hell, i've got my eyes half-open going in

this is a purely internal role for a smallish company, so i've got half a chance that it won't be all ball-aching hatred

I remember making a site for some woman when I did that sort of thing for a living
it was for a holiday cottage that she had. She explicitly said she wanted leaves and stuff on it, and various other things.

I obliged and made one of the best bits of design I've ever done, there was much approval from my colleagues and management.

She totally hated it. So much so that she flipped out, shouted at my boss, and went and got someone to make her one of the worst sites I've ever seen.

None of that surprises me
The problem is, that these cunts don't even know WHAT they want. Therefore how will they know if it is want they want when they see it?

Violence - The only answer.

What skills do you have?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 18 Mar 2010, 15:21, Reply)

I bring a small bit of humour to the office
other than that I'm a general waster and pain in the arse.

Technically though I have a degree in *cough*Marketing*cough* and am working as a Marketing Assistant, which means I, a fairly normal bloke, gets to deal with spastic primadonnas all my life.

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 18 Mar 2010, 15:51, Reply)

you need to ask yourself
do you want to work for a company that would employ someone who gave such a shit interview?

I'm sure it's all part of their out of the box blue sky thinking

Do you remember "Champion the wonder horse"?
I never thought he was that wonderful
( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Thu 18 Mar 2010, 15:32, Reply)

same with 'king of the rocket men'
( mictoboy shitting in your cunt since, Thu 18 Mar 2010, 15:38, Reply)

"CHAMPIONNNN the WONDER HORSE!"

( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Thu 18 Mar 2010, 15:47, Reply)

and a shot of the horse rearing at the camera
