IN Digestion

Sometimes, - well one of the few responsibilities I have as the ‘on-staff’ American BSer for a Marketing Firm is that whenever we create design proofs for anything and especially logos is to ‘Tell a Story’ about the logo.

I don’t mind it that much, but the deadlines are always same day, and always 3 or 4 designs at a time (this time, however it is 6) - It just depresses me and breaks my heart to have to do it. Firstly, I do not like having to think about what I write and writing it in a particular way, - grammatically and what not (not that I actually ever know what is right or wrong, but obviously no one here in Jordan will either). Note, I make more than doctors here for doing this…

So, since I can supposedly make up a story about anything, I have to, or I should write a story about the logos and what not our company creates. Its just inanely depressing. I can do them in no time, thats not the issue - to sit down and have to come up with a story make it fit and all of that, Firstly, I hate almost all kinds of work, but this I really really hate - sometimes, I really like it, especially if I have hours and hours to do it (preferably days) but since it’s known I can make this horrible stuff up in no time, I get to do it within 1-2 hours max.

Note: ANYONE can do this, but since, I am me, I should do it, its not fun, its not great and for some reason everyone thinks its so so so amazing. After being written, they are usually read outloud by the managers, with everyone cracking up - at first, maybe I tried even to put some effort in to it, but it became clear I could probably say anything, and it would have the same effect - I just kinda drone something out. it is like writing for high school all over again (i earned a straight c in any creative writing assignment I ever did, because it would be so so so uninspired, and so ordinary). I REALLY REALLY don’t want to do this. note, I have been here for about 2 days, and this is the only task I have been given in 2 days, so I can’t really complain (they pay fairly well, and leave me alone most of the time) - but still, I just don’t want to do it. Id rather kill myself I think then do this.

Writing this post was more fun, then the actual work. To be honest, I can’t even figure out how to upload this file, so nevermind. If anyone REALLY wants it, just e-mail me and take it.
