In the Doldrums
Much as I love being in Blondini Gang — some days I have to remind myself of this quote that I saw somewhere: "The worst day of being a designer beats the best day of being a plumber."

Call me old fashioned
The post "10 tips from an old-school designer" at Creative Bits rang a few bells with me.
I must be showing my age, but I trained and began working as a designer when we drew all our lines with a 'rapidograph', made manual colour separations, used bromides, drawing boards, Letraset, rubber cement, scalpels -- and had to do arcane calculations before having someone set our type for us.
It was slow, exacting, satisfying.
I wouldn't go back. The (mac) computer is the tool of choice now.
