i majored in graphic design, and work... as a graphic designer. My degree wasn't cheap, and there was no way i wasn't going to use it. i went to a tech/art school, which i believe is the best way to get a graphic design degree. i looked at the programs at several universities, and there was way too much emphasis on traditional art. At my school, that emphasis was minimal. i also have a two-year degree in web design, but i have pretty much no interest in using that right now. It made my brain hurt.

Speaking of work... It's so quiet today that i actually thought for a moment... "Wait, is today REALLY Monday?" My boss is missing in action, the phones are down so they're not ringing, and no one's coming in... knock on wood. Short of leaving my cell phone at home, it's been a pretty awesome day so far! It's a lovely 47 degrees outside and i'm starting the day with peace, quiet, and a pomegranate energy drink. Of course, without the cell phone i have no way of getting a hold of my boss and asking where the deuce he is, but... eh. And as slow as it is, i could have just turned around when i realized i'd left my phone at home on the way here.
