  six months [out] where are we?
the best and worst of your current firm.

go.
 
Comments:
best: great work, cool co-workers, bosses who care about you and help you learn about the profession

worst: hour commute, don't get home until 8:30 every night, no straight men my age who i could hang out with outside of work.
 
best: the expierence being gained.

worst: the clients. i heard a qoute once that statedd, "you will never go beyond your clients aspirations".

most of our clients work in reatail, and they're looking for best thing the least amount of mony can buy, and at the fastest time.

their aspirations aren't on good architecture, it's on making another dollar.
 
sam...i'm not even going to go there w/ your last comment. haha.

best: fantastic location, the projects are amazing, we are a very strong and talented team, they trust me with way too much.

worst: sometimes i feel like they just want to retire. maybe it is b/c i'm fresh outta school, but i feel like i'm the one who wants to market the firm more than they do. i have no business skills, but i get worried that one day the work will just stop...and we are all jacked, i want to meet more clients/professionals who care about good design and have the same mantra as myself.
 
well tom, i miss the gayness that you so cheerfully brought to my life.
 
hubba hubba.
 
Hi boys! I thought I'd contribute, too, if that's all right.

best: my boss says "we don't work for rich people", which is mostly true. the office is in a fabulous neighborhood. we do modest residential projects, to which we bring a 'crisp' aesthetic. i get to wear many hats. small, small firm. my boss operates the firm in the same way i think one should work.

worst: i miss the social interaction of retail - only 3 people in the office. i'm not sure i want to be a traditional architect. we don't get as many clients who appreciate modern design as much as we do. we have alot of difficult clients right now. we don't do any work for poor people.
 
i want a mantra.

best: the people. adaptability with idp. which gets me closer to licensure. im with eric.

worst: the clients, the aesthetics, the budgets....shall i go on.
