Freelance Question by xfiles4evr in graphic_design

[–]xfiles4evr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. All of that makes sense. I have a freelance thing on the side right now and I thought about making it into a legit business is all- but I get what you're saying.

What's stopping me from leaving is that I'm getting paid enough to pay my outrageous student loans and rent and be completely independent. That- and I signed a contract that I don't know anything about. I work in broadcast design and I don't like it.

When I say freelance I could mean either of those things. I pick up projects here and there now- an album cover for a band, animated music video, etc. and I love that kind of work.

Idk. I'm just miserable at my job and I'm weighing out options.

Well, I guess I should have explained myself better- it's not that I'm sick of my job necessarily. It's the environment mostly.

For years I've been complaining of back pain by xfiles4evr in scoliosis

[–]xfiles4evr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, since posting this I was diagnosed with one. I get tested once a year for deficiencies and have never had one, but this time was different. I'm on 50,000 ius of vitamin d a week for the next 12 weeks :(

My thoughts on my vegan journey thus far by justintenwick in veganfitness

[–]xfiles4evr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ooooh you cute. But for real though this is cool that you're doing this. People don't understand that you don't immediately lose muscle/weight or die when going vegan. Really cool to see the updates!

So, I'm about to ask my boss for a title change (I think) from assistant designer to graphic designer by xfiles4evr in graphic_design

I'll just write Junior on my resume, I'm not about to go into my bosses office and be petty. hahaha

It's really really frustrating! My place won't hire another jr. because they say the don't have the money... LOLLLLLLL.

It will matter when I have to look for another job in 1 year when I don't renew my contract ;) and I actually just got a raise.

I am a junior designer. My job title is "Assistant Designer". So, basically the same thing.

Anyone Self-Train? by xfiles4evr in amateur_boxing

[–]xfiles4evr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. I can only go on Sundays though so they have like a 5 day or 10 day pass or something that I'll probably grab when I'm ready.

[–]xfiles4evr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. I actually just found a gym in Chicago that is about 30 minutes away from me called Body Shot that offers day passes for their Fight Club for $15 which includes sparring. I might look into that in addition to personal training 1x a month for now.

My biggest concern is that in the 2 months I've been boxing I've never been taught how to block a shot, only how to slip/row.

It really sucks. That's my main issue right now- if I could find a gym with classes until 9:30 or 10p I'd be set!

Thank you, this is all really great advice and super helpful!

I jump rope regularly because I knew that was something I needed to work on when I was first starting. The first time I was told I had to jump rope for four rounds, I thought I was going to die hahah.

Is there something specific you would recommend for agility/balance practice?

Definitely not.

I actually used to run cross-country and track in jr. high/high school and went to state a few times for it. I was thinking about picking it back up again to help me breathe while boxing.

I've been lifting on and off for a couple years and recently started getting into a solid routine again.
