Fellow designer Aaron Shurts invited me to a little shindig at his place yesterday. Turnout was great, and everyone had a wonderful time reliving the madness of childhood summers.
Hanging out with everyone there made me feel welcome, like I’m making the right decision with my career path. The Charlotte design community seems very open, friendly, and accommodating to n00bs such as myself. I can’t imagine many other careers in which people from all sorts of different companies not only know each other on a first name basis, but come together to have a slip n’ slide party! Can you imagine investment bankers doing the same thing?
“I say, Johnson. Percentages this year are up by a fraction of a decimal. Yes, harrumph hrm.”
“You said it, Thompson. Now please hold my martini as I ‘ride this tube’ as the youngfolk say.”
“Johnson don’t be a damn fool! That’s a $1500 dollar suit, old chap!”
“Oh yes, terribly sorry. Shall we play ‘Pin The Tail on the Cheap Mexican Labor?”
Not quite the same feeling, huh? So here’s hoping something great happens.
You barely talk about Design fool! Although I agree, it’s nice that the Charlotte area designers seem like such a close-knit community. I look forward to joining that community soon!
thanks for the shoutout. be on the lookout for slip n slide part duex.
