clients from hell…

Fun Fact: As a graphic designer, 92% of your time will be spent on unpaid favors.

Seriously I am losing it lately..I usually go through this now and then but more so now..

Work. It’s a place I have never seem to have much luck with, I underestimate my skills, try to share my ideas (which I can say are usually pretty good and logical) without trying to be a know it all and my ultimate goal is to be better designer with never reaching that opportunity every time.

It seems every design position I’ve been in - I’ve tried to create and design and editors, publishers, sales, even janitors - they all want to do the designing and won’t let me just do that part of my job that really is MY JOB.

So I fight hard, as hard as I can but then in the end just have to let it go because it’s a constant struggle of insanity

Now if I put more effort into fighting for my own company, or going out to get more freelance then maybe I could let go of this other struggle and just fight for myself. and win.

So in the midst of my vent I found this site and I cried and laughed all at once because really - I’ve heard almost every single one of these scenarios in my years of freelancing and I don’t know why I thought for so long that I wasn’t able to put up with a lot, I have, I do and I probably will continue to do so..but helps to know others in my field are going through this
