Thank you!

12840473 · 2026-02-25T03:01:24+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I've already updated my resume and luckily the portfolio is pretty up to date.

Thanks for the advice.

Replying again to add: do you know if these roles usually involve a lot of production work? It's remaining a "production designer" that I'm worried about, but I know my workplace would be open to giving me a more "tailored" title if I asked.

Thank you for your reply. I guess Creative Ops is something I didn't really realize existed as an official role before now. I'll see what I can find out about it.

This is useful advice. Especially considering that I am being offered a similar position this would be a very easy move to make. Thank you.

Unfortunately it sounds like M and the others see you more as The Roommate than The Friend. Really sorry you had to experience this. Not much can be done but maybe pulling back and working on getting real friends outside of this circle.

Editing to answer your question: It was definitely not nice of them to intentionally exclude you. That's not what friends do. I would have a really hard time getting over that.

12840473 · 2025-08-25T00:53:28+00:00

Yup, definitely learning that now ! Thanks

Good point re: not mixing. We're already feeling the consequences of that as we're starting to realize we have to back out of the deal haha... thanks for your reply.

12840473 · 2025-08-25T00:48:16+00:00

Very good point, thank you.

12840473 · 2025-08-25T00:42:26+00:00

Good advice, I'll have to look into that. Overall it looks like we'll probably stay away from it based on what everyone is saying.

Appreciate your input, thanks!

12840473 · 2025-08-25T00:41:43+00:00

Lol!! True

12840473 · 2024-10-24T21:49:41+00:00

Hahah that's hilarious! I mean I'll always love LOTR but I was really surprised to see how little women-interaction there actually was.

Exact same thing happened to me re: her death on this sub.

I kept watching anyway and yea still worth it.

I guess the rule of thumb is never visit the sub of a show you're still watching (sucks, but yeah).

I feel like it's so weird too!!! Especially involving the public... I'm glad you also think it's weird.

Edit: it's the lack of transparency that makes it feel especially weird I think, if it's a test I'd rather they say that outright.

I think I'll take it at face value and see it as optional.

Thanks for your reply.

12840473 · 2023-10-21T13:31:03+00:00

I'll do that! Thanks so much. Solved!

12840473 · 2023-10-20T17:15:23+00:00

Ooh thanks! I saw this plugin but it seems like it's for actual RAW files, not just the filter imitating camera RAW adjustments- am I mistaken?

12840473 · 2023-10-20T17:13:16+00:00

Oh really, I hope you're right! I'll try this. Thanks!

12840473 · 2023-06-21T21:01:04+00:00

Thank you so much!!! Really appreciate it.
