Overwatch looks sick tbh

Anyone in the market for kittens? We've rescued 3 lil troopers that are lovely and would suit an awesome home:

Do they come with cooking instructions?

A bit small for any good meals

BEER ROASTED CAT
1 cat cut into roast
1 can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup
1 cube of beef bouillon
1 clove of garlic
1 Guiness

Cover and soak cat roast in salt water for 24 hours. Drain water and then cover and soak in beer for 6 hours. Drain and place in crock pot with your cans of soup. Add a clove of garlic, and a cube of beef bouillon. If you start to slow cook your cat in the morning with your George Foreman Cooker (or it's ilk), you'll have finely cooked feline in time for supper.

If a slow cooker is not available, a cat can be baked at 350 degrees for 2-3 hours in a conventional oven and still come out pretty good. Beer Roasted Cat is fantastic served with mashed potatoes, collard greens, and fresh, homemade egg rolls. When planning a full meal just remember- cat is a course best served hot!

Lias - so edgy.

What is this, cat stroganoff?
Campbell's soup? Seems like it'd be rather pawly nourishing.

Going by Garage Projects stuff, they don't want a graphic designer, they want an illustrator.

Also - freelance, never again. I did a year of freelancing/contracting and I got sick of invoicing my time and tracking my hours only to have to chase clients to pay me.

Lias · Reply #22887 Posted: February 02, 2016, 06:09:31 pm

Holy Shitballs Ri in the capital and working for a great beer company.. that would be awesome.. DO IT NOW!

It is a very lively decorated shed. I think his assumption is probably somewhat correct.

Also yes, it's like people think if you're not on the companies registrar, you don't matter.
Or even if you are, I guess they think there's more of them than you, or they're bigger than you, or something.
Fucks me off to no end. Freelance only good if you know and trust the contact, which means pre-existing aquaintancship or whatnot; not finding new clients.

Retardobot · Reply #22889 Posted: February 02, 2016, 06:14:27 pm

They want a freelancer so they can only pay them per hour, not a salary. You only do that shit as a new graduate or if you're struggling for work.

Also, as a freelancer, I'm responsible for my own GST bullshit, fuck that.

Pyromanik · Reply #22890 Posted: February 02, 2016, 06:19:08 pm

Yeh, or you're a company, and required to have a chartered acountant.

Xenolightning · Reply #22891 Posted: February 02, 2016, 09:22:03 pm

I see a lot of excuses and not a lot of doing.

Do, or do. There is no not.

People would be applying for that job because OMG GARAGE PROJECT, HOW AWESOME WOULD IT BE TO WORK FOR THEM. I agree, working for a forward thinking beer company like Garage Project would be hella dope.

Except, you wouldn't be working for them. You wouldn't be a staff member, you wouldn't be privy to any sweet perks they might offer, any sweet work-day shenanigans or lunch time piss-ups.

You're a freelancer, someone who gets an email with a half-arsed brief saying "can you do this before next week" while you sit at your PC at home scrolling through self-important design blogs that collate what they think are examples of great design and lists of TOP 10 HIDDEN MESSAGES IN CORPORATE LOGOS.

You'd get none of the wank-factor.

Full employee or nothing.

(working in corporate branding has jaded me somewhat - it's delicious).
