In an effort to make this an actual blog I am posting again….another week down, its friday…I got everything in for my renderfarm and workstation in the mail this week, but will not be able to assemble or set up any of it until I get done with a website for a client…So I will be working on that this weekend into next week.
Today at work my boss took the entire department out to lunch at breadwinners to calibrate the completion of our latest job. Apparently no one called ahead so we had to sit at different tables, anyway, I got stuck sitting with my creative director, assistant creative director, and one of our lighters…lets just say it was an interesting meal, as the tensions in the office are through the roof right now. I have made inklings in the past about how screwed up my office politics are but I don’t think I have gone in depth here before. I don’t think my blog has the room for a story as long as that…After what my creative director was saying today I am very nervous for the future of my office. Management in the studio wants to branch off into a new company and turn the studio into something live action…lets just say I am not all for that, I enjoy doing CG work. I’ve got to hand it to my CD though, he has BS’ed and manipulated his way into the company to basically fun his own company…Not a lot of people have the balls to do that. I don’t understand how he still has a job, but whatever. I don’t care anymore, I am just doing my time while I am in school. On the workplace note, I have done nothing this month which is billable…No one in the studio but our webdeveloper has work, and hes doing something for the company…bah…
On another note, I am about to make the jump to vista on my workstation…I have a quad in there but am only on XP32 bit, lol, don’t ask why…I don’t quite know what to think about the move, I have heard a bunch of negative things about vista in the past, but hear it should be good after the service page…it should be an adventure, regardless…A few people have asked me for pics of my desk at home so I have attached one below. I am gonna go chill out for a bit before getting started on this website again tonight, later for now.
