I just tried for three months and gave up. They made Windows much prettier and the surface is a cool novelty but ultimately the way the file system works made me so inefficient. It's the little things in OSC that allow me to move quickly. There are some things Windows just makes a little trickier to do. If I want to be able to draw digitally I will get an iPadPro instead.

Pros for PC: Cheaper, more options available, the entire Office suite runs better on them, and I actually like the PC file system better. Cons: can be cheaply made, more likely to crash when you have multiple processor heavy apps running, don't have preview as part of the file system, lacks the use ability you get from multiple devices in the Apple ecosystem.

Design software usually runs better on Mac. That's why the industry has always used them, even when Windows was more common in households. Maybe you're too young to remember this.

I'm a copywriter (as you can see) and I switched on my personal machine over a year ago. Only thing I miss is preview from the file system but I may code my own app. Lots more third party options on a pc, plus all the games.

I gave notice to one of the partners at my small firm last week. It was amicable, but she told me to wait to tell the other partner until he returned from vacation. In the interim, she told the other partner and he blew up. He is now making insane demands and threatening to call my future employer if i don’t meet them. Most problematically, he refuses to meet with me to discuss transitioning my cases over the next week. I am not sure what to do, and I am worried about ethical rules.

I hung out this weekend with a work friend of mine. We’re both junior, but I’ve been on FMLA due to an unexpected illness so have been away for a bit. I know that I screwed up on some files before I was diagnosed which I feel awful about and have been trying to rectify (unpaid), but she spent a lot of time cataloguing the ways in which I messed up. It was supposed to be a nice weekend for once and I’m feeling more beat down than ever 😕 just not sure how to get the motivation/nerve to go back!

During the VMAs last night there was a car commercial and all I have to say is that if your brand is picking a 5 year old Sia song that didn’t even chart too well as a song for a NEW commercial, you need to tap into culture a little bit.

Transitioning from full time agency life to be a freelancer and/or part timer. How have folks negotiated their rate, hourly vs day? For reference, I’m in the Account/Project Management space and have 8+ years of experience. And I’d ideally like the rate to result in more $$ than what I was making when salaried. Thanks!
