You really think you can get anyway with just being a designer / developer in real life and be done with it?
Think again.
‘Cause you’re utterly wrong.
What today (a vacation day, mind you) had in store for me:
- Placed an online order for my dad and sis new PC because of course, I know better about this stuff.
- Created some fancy photo slideshows for Michael, as I’m the lucky one having a Mac which makes creating all kinds of cool stuff a breeze.
- Responded to my little cousin’s questions on why I can’t help him install cracked games on his brand-new PSP. Try explaining firmware downgrade to a kid and then come back here and tell me “pff”.
- Was patient while family was bugging me again to call Tellas support and ask for a technician to come and check our faulty line. Did not make it today, will probably call again tomorrow.
- Ordered online a slew of tickets for my trip to Paris (ouch, pocket).
- Sent about a gazillion e-mails concerning various pending stuff that must be completed before my vacation.
- Wrote a stupid post on having too much on your head on any given day.
All that in just a few hours. And my job title is (supposedly) Web Designer. What?
P.S. Some uncle will probably call me and ask my opinion on his new fancy ironing board sometime soon, I can feel it.

Yeah, when you are the “computer guy/lady” in the house then for no obvious reason you got to do stuff like this heh..

Don’t know what you’re talking about…
I only design websites and that’s it.
No,no, not me. I’m a real niche case
