Work

Things have really started to pick up at work lately. We have started to reel in some rather large prospects, and essentially, this is good. Finally time to take a break from writing all of those proposals! Since I started learning HTML and Illustrator, I had envisioned my new role at my job as that of one in the creative department, but my current role as Inside Sales Manager is going to put a roadblock in front of that. The company I work for currently relies on two outsourced creative people that work freelance separately. With the addition of even one of these new prospects, the creative demands are going to snowball, along with all of the other services we provide. Our organization is going to start having to think of how we are going to meet that demand, and, well, we have, actually. We have toyed with the idea of an in-house creative person, but what happens when it is slow? I wish that I was better established as a creative designer, that I had gone to school instead of teaching myself. Still, I have to consider the fact that most of the creative jobs we do for our clients are actually quite bland, quite "uncreative" one might say. Sometimes I have to remind myself that you should be happy with what you have.
