I am so incredibly frustrated! I'm jonesin' for a Coke and a day off, let me tell you!
I work from home -- technically as a freelance do-it-all. I type, I do dictation, I format data bases, prepare presentations and I dabble in graphic design. Just recently I've started getting into web design (necessity is the mother of invention, right?). The company I work for figures they can pay a novice a LOT less than a professional...
Well, I poured my heart into their website. I had to struggle through the program since I don't know it well, but I thought I was coming along just fine. I was actually rather proud of the work I had accomplished.
I emailed the link to the site to the Executive Director and awaited my well-deserved pat on the back.
What did I get?
"It's really not what I'm looking for. I don't care much for the layout."
Crush. Stomp. Ouch.
So, I tore it down and started over.
Why is it that you can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time?? Grrrr.

I have often thought about the different reactions to "art".
The things I think are striking don't at all appeal to others.
Sometimes I think my sister is on crack when she pics out things that she likes. Once home though, and on the wall, and in her "light" it is stunning.
I think, it would be very hard, VERY hard to please someone, artistically, especially when you don't "know" them.
Its admirable. I would have been crushed, and I would have indulged in a day off and probably a tear filled lay in day.
Keep your chin up. How did the second go round go?
