never happy?
i just nailed a job. yay for me. yet, i'm not sure if i want it.
of course i'm happy to get it but it's just not what i expected. the add said they wanted a graphic designer to produce a site within 5 weeks to get paid a certain amount. excellent, just what i need. yet when i get there, i found out that what they actually need is someone to research the field, come up with information and then make it look neat within the brand outlines.
for those who are not familiar with the industry the best way to explain the difference is: a graphic designer is given the content and gd makes it all into a site that is easily usable and looks perty where as in this project they want to give me a subject that i have to research and then come up with the content and just add as pages under a crappy looking site. fuck.
and that's not even the major setback. the worst thing is that i expected to be able to produce the site at home during the weekends so that i could be working during the weekdays and making money (since the pay for this project is not that great) but they have assigned an office for me and expect me to sit there from 9-5 for the whole 5 weeks.
