I was labeled the 'Pitch King' by BuBu not too long ago - Simply because everywhere I go, I am instantly involved with pitches that took MOST of my working (and non-working) hours. It is as though I'm hired just to do pitch and art director is only my secondary task in the company. Life's a pitch bitch lorr!

Recently, I got involved in another pitch AGAIN. One after another. And I have no bloody idea why it has to be me again this time when there's another Art Director in the room as well? Please don't tell me silly rubbish like, "Oh cause he's been doing it all the while before you join, so.. you have to take over now" - because if you do, I'm SO GONNA twist your neck around clockwise 360 degree x 2 ! LIKE I HAVE NOT BEEN DOING SO PREVIOUSLY LAR?? And it's not like I'm any better (&$@)(&$@ mumble* mumble* grumble*

And the best part is, BuBu teases on saying "You wanna win next year Pitch King award also ar?" SIGH .... -.-" like I have a choice like that. BuBu I hate you. I hate you deep deep!

And after ALL the big hoo-haa and mad rush over the weekend. There isn't even a genuine Thank You - is ALL bosses like that? Or it's a common Malaysian practice to glu your mouth when its time to say thank you? Or am I requesting for alot here? THANK YOU jer maa! Noooo, the first thing they tell you after their presentation was:

"This is P and C ya... Make sure you don't spread this out to anyone else ok"

I must have look like a complete nerd for them to say this. Pretty bad impression I gave them over my past 3 months here. Eesh.. I should have replied:

"Duh... but...why? Duhh......."

HeeeSshhh. Grrr.. ARrrGhh.. and recently I hate it when my taukeh says this:

"No choice ge-lar.. Work late also have to work ge-lar.. Work over the weekend also have to come back to work ge-lar"

Like no other line like that. What happened to:
  • Let me know if you do not have enough resources to help you.
  • What's keeping you so busy? Can I be of help? Let's sit down and talk.
  • We'll try to extend the deadline if it's really too ridiculous.
Does your bosses say Thank You?

Something is very wrong with design colleges/university these days. No wonder most of them are jobless. Most of the fresh graduates (in no particular order) :
  • do not have the basic/fundamental design knowledge
  • score high CGPA but with lousy portfolio - and i mean.. LOUSY!
  • freak out when interviewer ask about expected salary
  • do not have any idea on the going-rate as a fresh grad
  • did not bring their portfolio with them for an interview (!!)
  • majored in web, doing internship in anything BUT web/interactive firm, and wanting to be a web designer
  • were taught the basic usage of softwares but was never told WHEN to use it
  • have no idea what grid is ... *knnccb*
  • is very 'lan si' .. they thought they know it ALL and learnt everything
  • so NOT deserve a job. Serves them right :P <-- this one got nothing to do with college/uni, simply my personal anger. C'mon, most of them are so not prepared during interview session! PRO ppl.. P-R-O!
  • can't even organise their files and folders
  • can't take simple instruction eg. happily filling up the application form in their own sweet time when they were told to wrap it all up in 15 minutes <-- contributed by JayKid
  • are super irresponsible to have accepted an offer then turn it down, then telling you they really like your company but.....
  • know what CSS is.. but stopped learning it for quite awhile......... .. . . ..WTF?!?
  • wanted a web designer job now so that they can do online marketing in 2-3 years time
  • applied for a web designer post but wanting to meet the clients more often and be the front liners.... . . . . haven't they heard of the 'sales team' or 'servicing team' . SUITS ppl.. SUITS!
  • is not being honest about their ability. Cannot say cannot laaar, Dunno say dunoo laar!
  • think online advertising = online banners -period-
  • is telling you how much they like Web 2.0 and then start telling you how they like Flash alot and its 'the' way the web should be ... WTF?!
  • ... and etc.
All I ask for is just a 'decent' designer with minimal working experience (yes, internship counts) who knows good design and basic usage of design softwares with the right attitude towards work. Apparently, it's harder than I thought. I seriously hope I can find a replacement ASAP.
