At long last

Posted 05-19-2008 at 10:56 PM by stiney51 (The Not-So-Secret Life of an Aging Hockey Player)

Well after 2 1/2 long months of twiddling my thumbs, spending a lot of time with my kids, doing work around the house and fumbling around trying to find freelance work I officially am back to work!

Today I received and accepted an offer that will allow me to continue to pretend to be a graphic designer while working in the hockey industry. My new job will allow me to work out of the house and perhaps is finally a chance to realize my dream of building the ultimate destination hockey...

Sacked

Well go back a few months and you'll see a now useless blog post referencing my perfect job.

I was laid off yesterday with no notice, not severance and not even enough respect from the owner to have the stones to tell me himself. Our company had been fighting for some capital to make up for some really poorly timed large scale expenses (2 new retail store buildings and a new warehouse facility to name a few). The owner (who I reported directly to) kept painting a rosy picture of...

I'm an Addict.

Now it's not quite as bad as it seems, but I find myself jumping from one online addiction to another. For a while it was Biorust, but sadly I've drifted into a bit of obscurity on here. I started spending way too much time on Jellyfish.com smack-shopping. If you haven't been there, don't go. It's like crack. Lately it's been obsession with my fantasy baseball sim league. Hours and hours of research on which 9 players to select in the draft. Now that the draft is over, it's "how can I improve...

Old Dog Learning New Tricks

Posted 01-26-2008 at 04:34 AM by stiney51 (The Not-So-Secret Life of an Aging Hockey Player)

Well after years of being too lazy and not truly needing to learn it, I'm finally venturing into the world of learning Flash. My boss envisions a very clean, homepage to our new website, and he wants to see movement, rotation and other things that would be difficult to do without using Flash.

So why not? I can learn how to do it. I am skilled enough with computers and technically minded enough to learn enough action script to be dangerous.

The nicest thing about it...

A Tale of 2 Business Cards

I've been working on a new business card design for our company for a while off and on (low priority) and finally finished it. Had the quote in hand, samples etc, approval of the design etc. and bam! "can we do a different card for these employees?"

Sure.

Enter the new problem. Here I have a design done for the parent company (The Mercantile Group) and now I have to come up with a new card for the sub company (Pure Hockey) that has its own look and style...
