That's right. An avatar. The avatar of InDesign, to be specific. My new job rocks. Like Aerosmith, or something. Okay, so I got to work Monday and everybody was really nice, checking out the new guy and all. We got to work setting up my little office space. It's not so much a cubicle, or area, or zone, or even an office, but it is instead a showroom for the monster computer that sittith within the confines of it's walls. My computer. It's nuts. A dual 2.7 Gig G5 Power Mac with 1.5 Gigs of ram, a 250 gig hard drive, superdrive, an insane graphics card, and a 20 inch cinema display screen. I went and built the thing on apple just to see, and it was over 4,000 dollars. I almost peed a little. So that was pretty much day one. I filled out forms, set up my little work space, and then my boss filled me in on all of the different aspects of my job. It's actually a pretty awesome opportunity for me, because it's an entire Pre-Kintergarden learning program, and I get to be in on every single aspect of it from helping buy and research stock photography, layout of the art and teacher guides, books, and other stuff. Then, after all of my design frenzy, I am also in charge of the printing and processing of the entire project, from planners to posters to puppets and bilingual versions of the sing along CDs. It's an enormous project, and everybody's really excited about it. They said that top educators from around America have been hearing about it, and are panting to buy it, so I've got to have the quotes on printing prices for runs from 5-10,000 pretty soon, and then inform the Chicago and New York offices of the updates to the project and prices on an almost daily basis. I'm nervous. I'm excited, Also, I'm going to be the physical embodiment of all that is InDesign. That was day number two. I spent eight hours today doing InDesign tutorials, and I'm only a fourth of the way through. I'm still bashing my way through the typography and layout sections, and let me tell you... InDesign is a beast! A lovely, sexy beast. After/along with this I get to conquer Excel. There's a lot more to that little dude than I though! Okay. Enough boasting. Sorry, sorry, but I'm really happy about the job. My family doesn't come from any money at all, so for me to have a career, and to be able to help them out while taking care of myself is such an amazing thing that I can't even describe it. Soooo, I won't, just right now. But it's awesome. So good night, all! Goal of the week Go see Batman Begins. Hopefully in an iMax theatre. TimChose [
