Hiring a Houdini artist

It is somehow difficult to explain how different 3D artists depending which software they use.

Finance department logic I

Finance department logic I

Highly inspired by a recent blog

which leads me to start a series on the strange logic of business and specially finance departments.

Where are you

Where are you

Unexpected may be but the report on education on the UK shows some light on the devastation the New Labour party have been doing over the years.

IT stress

IT stress

Sounds weird but it is true, one these difficult times there is huge amount of stress in every company, and inside them, the IT department tends to have quite a lot of it as you may expect, everybody thinks these are simple things that can be done by just two friends instead of top professionals and instead of firing a bureaucrat they fire a very capable IT guy.

We do live in a weird world isn't it? Prices for the non-participants.

The internships

The internships

Okay, it is not that bad but you can spot the complex relationships when a conference takes place, who honestly wants to do something new and creative and who is just a potential number, strange the potential numbers tends to get everywhere while the others have to play the luck game.

Qualifications

Qualifications

How many extras are you willing to put on your CV without distorting the image you want to send? A total nightmare to plan.

Promotion

Promotion

Seems like a joke but it is not, the progression from runner to junior artists and how fast you managed to jump to the 3D department is directly related to the amount of kilos you are going to put in the first year. The better you are, the faster you get fat, that simple.

Workstations

Workstations

In a world where space is so scarce and precious, where the rent is abusive you find yourself in the edge of how close you can be to someone else, literally smelling their breath sometimes it is not a pretty pictures, but yes, necessary for better bonding.

What a party.

I just don't know what to say.

Seems every single year the students coming out of the university lack more and more skills, are more and more aggressive and have less moral values, is this a reality or am I getting old?
