haha yeah that was one of the first things I tried. I use Wix and its blocked.

I have a work macbook, but it doesnt read any external harddrives. All file sharing websites and cloud platforms are blocked, ie. emails, google drive, wetransfer, dropbox. I can use our company OneDrive, but it doesnt allow for downloads on personal device. We were even blocked from Google images until we got an exception from IT recently. The only solution I’ve found that only emailing myself will work but its limited to 33mb.

Hmm in that case I wonder if you could dump all of your stuff into a XD doc with editing rights, email the link to yourself, and download from there?

do you use any sort of messaging app that will allow file transfer such as slack or anything?

we use teams and the 365 suite. the only thing i could think of is OneDrive since I can have it on my personal phone too, but it appears that if i upload files from my work laptop, I cant download it from my phone.

Will airdrop work?

final idea…. have you considered Safe Mode? Hoping they forgot to extend the same restrictions to safe mode. 🤞

Hi everyone!! This is exactly the group I've been looking for. I'll be starting my new (and first) consulting job at ZS Associates at the end of the month and I'm so nervous that I'll crash and burn. I'm very proud to be an ENFP, but the flaws that come along with it (distraction, procrastination, disorganization) seem like a recipe for disaster. I'm not sure if I should spend this next month trying to change my habits or if I should just embrace it. Anyway, what advice do you all have?

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
