My sister used to share her ice cream cones with Morris the mostly-lab mutt we had when we were small. He wasn't very kissable, but he was a good dog.
Eddie the spaniel got kisses on his handsome Spanish ears and did not enjoy them. He was also a good dog. I miss them both.

Shortbus gets kisses on the head and she tolerates them because she is a good cat and super chill. If Vanya was a cat he'd be a shortbus for sure.

yeah that sounds really dumb for a graphic design company. graphic design is an art, just like any other. the best graphic designers are passionate about what they do as an artform.

He admitted to giving terrible looking products to clients because they wanted it to look terrible. Of course they don't put that work on display, but they do what the client wants them to do. He said he's had problems with employees who try to argue with a client about what looks better.

The company is a printer, so I get the impression that they just do whatever the client tells them to as quickly as possible. He's said that he asks people "Artist or "Tradesman" and if they pick artist, he tells them they shouldn't work there.

It's seriously making me want to cancel my interview.

it sounds like one of my friend's jobs which is a tshirt printing place but she often has to steal other artist's work and do things against her personal morals and posts about how much she hates it on facebook all the time (which seems like a pretty bad idea to openly post about it all the time)

so if you're seeing red flags i'd say look elsewhere, you don't want to make yourself miserable :(

I have a job where there is a way to do it right and a way to do it fast. I want to do it right because I'm good at it and enjoy doing it. I often butt heads with people who want to do it fast. It sucks, but it pays the bills and there's always time you can work on your own stuff or get a project that you can make your own.

But if he is already showing you that little respect, I'd be pretty cautious in the interview. Don't be afraid to ask questions, you don't want to get trapped somewhere lovely.

NARAL is a pro-choice org in the states. I like doing stuff for them because my state is pretty awful and also older ladies come up and thank you because they know what life was like before Roe v. Wade.

So here's a thing.

I have a good friend who I love to bits, who is a massive social justice warrior. She's mixed race and her family is from South Africa and she cares very deeply about social justice and anti-oppression things. She's doing a set at this comedy night this week, which she did last year too. Last summer when we did comedy nights, she got really upset when one of the other acts did racist jokes and Jew jokes and hella called him out on her radio show the next day.
She just posted on Facebook that this year she's bringing signs that say "RACIST" and "DEROGATORY" to hold up when people make jokes that offend her.

I dunno how I feel about that, except that I'm real glad I said no to performing at this one.

E: I try to steer clear of offensive humour but I do have a habit of jamming my foot in my mouth when under pressure

I think it's a good idea to take the interview as practice. It also wouldn't hurt to think about what lines you won't cross. Stealing other artists' work is obviously one, and find ways to ask about those things. Ask if there has been a situation where they said no to a client and see what their lines are.

I have to use comic sans sometimes. Does it hurt my heart? You bet. Will I fight to change it once I have enough clout here? Absolutely. But the rest of the job is good so I'll take the hit.

Seriously, why even go at that point? Does she even like comedy?

I mean, ok, yeah, some poo poo is racist and derogatory, but most comedians only use that material for laughs and are purposly being assholes in the moment.
