Spoke with John Peed today. It was good to finally get some guidance and direction from a superior. He is a great boss and knows his business well. I am so fresh in this industry and it is filled with late nights, the pressure of performance, formulaic image manipulation, and feeding into the advertising game. On the other hand, I am getting paid (quite well for a junior designer) and will eventually be debt free, my co-workers are good people, I'm learning a butt-load, and I am very proximal to the beach and ocean.
Conversing with him reminded me that this is a real job. I can't let my feelings or creative juices get in the way of giving the client what they want. Most of the time, it is selling a something ridiculous or mundane, but that's why they pay me.
