DELETE CASCADE posted:how do you recommend i design a presentation so that the higher-up picks the option i want? should i make it a 4-way multiple choice, and put my desired option as C? flippant answer: don't give them options in the first place serious answer: if the deliverable is multiple options, and there's something you want to drive towards as a like idk, holistic solution, you can make separate concepts that highlight the specific aspects that you want in the final product, and state at the outset that the final product can be a synthesis of these concepts. that said, the stuff i work on is complex, but doesn't really prioritize (aesthetic/usability) design. because of that, i rarely present more than one concept, and it's very rare that i need to present anything to upper management  consultancy designers probably have a different method for doing this, but i am corporate as heck

Gnossiennes posted:ime as a designer, also conversely: if you present multiple options for something, but one is filler and you would absolutely hate yourself if it got picked, it will be picked no matter how loving stupid it is it’s a bit easier when you can add “con: costs more and is slow”

so i went to grad school in canada and the #1 least expected thing about it was that canadians pronounce "Z" like "zed" and not "zee" I could just not get over the professor talking about the ecks, why and zed axes.

I walk up to the deli counter cause i wanted potato salad and everything is priced by the 100 grams so i'm like doin some guesstimating in my head and the deli dude is just standing there and I'm like "can i get ... uhhhh . .. 200 grams? of the potato salad?" and he looks at me like I'm the biggest rear end in a top hat on earth and says "You mean a half pound?" and i'm all "uh yeah thank you" and didnt make eye contact again

I think every shop with a deli counter here has three different sizes of plastic box on display so you can say "a medium box of potato salad". Obviously stuff like meat and cheese are measured in grams but then you can always just say "gimme enough [whatever] for two people" or "gimme a small chunk of that cheese, no not that much, yeah, that's it". e: used to get a small box of mashed potatoes, medium box of some salad, and a rotisserie chicken leg or whatever and call it dinner, back when the bus from work still stopped right next to Wiklund. 3D Megadoodoo fucked around with this message at 06:32 on Jun 29, 2022 |

One time I walked up to to the deli counter and, not knowing if the scale was in pounds and ounces or decimal pounds, asked for "ten ounces of turkey" and the guy sliced 0.10 pounds (two slices) and looked at me like I was an idiot.

there is a zed in my last name. I had to make a call to and it was a call centre in the usa. they asked me to spell my last name and the person didn’t really know what a zed is. well it took them a minute to get it. didn’t realize what was going on until after the call otherwise I would have just said zee. all the young people seem to say zee these days though.
