This is a random post about me feeling like a chump today- feel no compulsion to respond. Anyway, I just recieved one of the biggest ego blows of my adult life. The reasons are complex, and it would probably seem pretty minor (and boring) to most, but I feel like a total fool. I thought I might try to vent it out on this forum before going to sleep (my gf and my family are good people to vent to, but after talking with them for the last couple of hours, I still feel like I've got to get it out of my system).I've been working on somethine for the last couple of months. I've been busting my ass day in and day out, and today I find out that it was all for naught- the product of my labor was judged to be piece of crap.That's life I guess, but I thought I had really good thing going. I was dead wrong. Bleh... thanks for reading my post about nothing.

A swift kick in the crotch

Don't dwell, just move on and learn from it. When an artist leaves his project, the next time it is seen is the true image.

Sorry about your situation. I'm in a similar one which caused me to put in my two weeks notice of resignation.I held this project on my own (Teen pregnancy prevention) for half a year, I get a new supe and thing start going downhill. The last straw was getting written up for not being at my desk after a presentation when there were witnesses who saw me here. I already had typed up my two week notice since I speculated that would happen, and were they shocked to know that they were not only losing their best presenter, but an all around good employee.To me its a tremendous blow, but do you think I'm dwelling over it? HELL NAH. I have far more talent than this job gives me credit for. When I turned in my letter, my boss' boss turned red in the neck, not expecting me to react that way.Keep your head up, and remember that your talent is more to you than to anyone else. I'ts all subjective, so there will be people who critizise and complain, but they lose out in the long run.I had drawn up a logo for the project which we were going to use for T-shirts, flyers, etc. After putting in my two week notice, my supe had the nerve to ask me to email her the logo. I said hell nah.

Thanks for the upbeat and empathetic responses. Fortunately, I'm pretty quick on the rebound, so I'm feeling pretty good about the whole thing right now. Live and learn, I guess.
Sorry to hear about your situation, Sexpert. Nothing sucks more than doing a good job and then being punished arbitrarily.
Anyway, we're all on our feet now, so I'd say things are looking pretty damn good :smile:

Thank you! I'm glad everything is working out for you.
