Functionality

I really want to change gears professionally. I love my day job, but the lack of creativity is slowly sucking the will to design out of me. I don’t even feel like I have the right to complain; I mean, it’s a great company, with great flexibility and amazing benefits.

But I live in a cubicle chained to a desk.

It drives me crazy that in this technology-soaked world that people still need to *see* you working. There is absolutely no reason designers can’t do their job from home. All we need is a computer. Really, the whole communication thing is horribly over-rated; I’ve never worked for a corporation that did it right anyway. So why can’t I stay at home in my pajamas, squinting at an email vs. getting up at the crack of dawn, dragging my ass through the socially acceptable routine of making myself “presentable” and coming into an office to sit trapped in a box like a veal where they stuff me full of food and steal the best years of my life….

Um… yeah.

So anyway.

I’ve been trying to get my websites up and running the way they were intended, with the functions that I originally set them up for, so hopefully I will establish a large enough Internet presence that people will recognize my name and I’ll be able to live like Paris Hilton without the trashy wardrobe and mega-shopping sprees and stuff.

Actually, I’d be happy if I could just meet my financial needs comfortably without having to get dressed. That would be AWESOME.

    Good luck with that. I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this for years and years and years. At the moment, I’m looking into a steady life of crime. So far, though, it’s not looking good. I mean, sure, you aren’t stuck in an office all day, but, if you make a mistake, you literally end up living in a cube, with a potentially unsavory roommate. I’m sure I’ll work out the fool-proof plan eventually, but, until then, I’ll stick with the day job.

    Good luck, though.

    I have an idea… since not having to get dressed in the morning is something you are looking for, then all you need is a web cam, an online merchant account, and flexible morals. I am sure you could make some money.

    I like the way Dylan thinks – I’m waving virtual 1 dollar bills here!
