if i gotta work...

this job ain’t half bad.

i could go on about the good feeling here, the consummate professionalism, the lack of antagonistic tendencies, the lack of scrutiny and abundance of trust that the job will be done and will be done well...

before i post a couple pictures from today, i just want to note that i will be hitting the slopes again tomorrow, with my very own snowboard boots that i bought, and i hope it will be as delightful as last time. also, i took some clothes (four shirts, two pairs of slacks) in to be dry-cleaned for the first time in i don’t know how long, and it will be THIRTY-FIVE DOLLARS. i believe i’ll be washing at home from now on.

i asked for mouse ears when co-workers were attending one of our conferences held in Orlando, FL.




yes, those are monkeys behind me.

also, i’ve been sick for a couple days, so i put this sign up to warn folks.


oh, and here’s the bio i wrote when it was requested:

Cate Meyers has been successfully designing and producing projects and publications for over a decade. Armed with a B.A. in Graphic Design, she’s run the gamut of publication work, from signage to corporate identity to catalogs. While other designers cower before deadlines, Cate ensnares them in a full nelson and demands their submission. She’s also been known to MacGyver some fantastic designs out of just a one-button mouse and a single software program, endearing her to many a budget-conscious manager. Microsoft Word, however, remains her kryptonite.

Despite initial artistic criticism (from her parents, regarding unauthorized bedroom wall painting) Cate forged ahead, getting her GED as soon as legally possible in order to start college two years early. After a brief fling with photojournalism, she discovered graphic arts, a field that allows her to remain gainfully employed doing something she loves.

When she’s not saving the world from poor typography, Cate plays music, listens to music, and writes music. She can also be found knitting, baking, sewing, making jewelry, playing video games, and occasionally sitting still, though not for very long. Cate’s most proud of her perfect teeth (no cavities!) and the fact that she's never, ever broken a single bone in her body. Some disapprove of her irreverent attitude, but she feels if the work must be done, why not have a good time doing it?

mad props to skarziproodthingidingersons for the edit/re-write assistance.
