I'll be frank here....but if you work for somebody else, you're going to have to suck it up and deal with it. It's called "paying your dues". I served a four year apprenticeship, and three more years beyond that, under a tyrant boss. After that experience, everything since then has basically...

Your situation seems beyond ordinary boredom, and what you may need is a life plan. I won't include any of the links I've used since they may be biased to my personal direction, but type "life plan" or "life planning" in to your favorite search engine and then proceed with common sense...

It's funny this topic should come up. Last evening, I came home from my Aunt's estate with a large box of hand written letters from the 1950s. There were love letters from old beaus whose cursive proved to be just as elegant as the fine hand of the gals; and their command of the king's English...

Kudos for the country life. I absolutely love living "beyond the sidewalks". It's sad to note that a good number of people are totally clueless as to what really goes into (and comes out of) our four legged farm friends...both the yummy and not so yummy. And as for farm-fresh...

Jet black countertop granite (sandblast etched) looks awesome and lasts forever. You can do a lot of cool stuff to personalize it using cheap sign vinyl for mask, so long as you use fine enough abrasive. The sky is the limit for shapes and sizes. You can also get 12" x 12" jet black...

Seriously...if I could sit down with you for one or two hours and go over the commands, you'd be dang near unstoppable. JB

We've gotten into a lot of funky designs lately...hourglass shapes having tangent connecting radii and other assorted conundrums that would be impossible to draw otherwise. Plus we do a lot of our own stuff (fixtures and handy gadgets) that we sub out to have laser / abrasive waterjet cut...

Just checking in to see if there are any AutoCAD users on this forum. I've been an avid AutoCAD user ever since 2000i came out. I'm making preparations to update to 2014LT since 2000i most likely won't work with WIN8. I've been out of the loop for so long (running the old 2000i software), but...

Hey man...good things come from humble beginnings. Colonel Harland Sanders (the white haired KFG guy, for all you millennial's) started selling his chicken recipe from the trunk of his car when he was 65 years old, and he encountered hundreds (if not thousands) of rejections before his idea...

It's never too early to start thinking about this, even if you're a "one man/woman show". This one covers a lot of the basics. JB

I'm working on revising our quoting process to include various "qualifying" factors that help me weed out the tire kickers a lot sooner. It's always going to be a guessing game, but I've learned it's always better to get "down to brass tacks" up front. Even if it means losing a potential...

Just hung the "closed" sign on the door and turned out the lights. Tomorrow at 0630, it's "wheels up" for Greenville, SC and I'm looking forward to a long weekend visit with cousins and an elderly uncle I haven't seen in nearly 30 years. We've been planning it for 6 months. I'm just as...

You should at least explain to the other two companies that the shabby banner patch was not your doing. You also might want to let them know that it's possible for the banner to eventually come loose and flap against the rest of the sign, possibly causing damage...not to mention an eyesore...

Good one...I was afraid the heading might suggest my ignorance for spelling, but that's not the case here. JB

Is anybody using DAM (digital asset management) software for customer files and or artwork? If so, what brand? Any comments? For the uninformed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_asset_management JB

After two frustrating snafus with trying to get on the CC, I called and asked for the permanent CS6 license. They still have them available, but they don't advertise it on the web page. JB

Service, price, quality....pick any two. And as for "spelt"...that's an edible grain in our neck of the woods. JB

"Forward is whichever way we're going..." Cool...you could use this baby to sell political signage. Hey, this could be a fun candidate for a mockup contest. Anybody game? JB

Just watching the auction is part of the fun... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Other-Makes-Custom-Volkswagen-4-DOOR-BEETLE-Custom-Push-Me-Pull-You-1965-custom-volkswagen-4-door-/121185697132?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item1c373afd6c&vxp=mtr#v4-40 JB

A sharp pencil and a good old-fashioned drafting board can also get you there, even if it's a scale drawing. Then all you need to do is utilize the distance chart to tweak sizes. JB
