Christchurch Treehouse of Awesome-Where everyone knows your name

[Retardobot]

Advanced Diploma in Multimedia & Design (degree level)
Bachelor's Degree in Applied Visual Imaging (international degree).

My prospective jobs would be - print design, corporate design, web design, brand development.

That's part of it, Codex. They don't see Graphic Designer as a real profession, if I was some IT king I'm sure they'd be fine with me. I don't plan on being a designer for much longer, I intend on my next step becoming a senior designer (which I already class myself as considering I manage my own clients/work/and don't ask for permission on finished jobs, it's up to me to put them to print and proof them) then onto a creative director and then follow in the footsteps of Martin Lindstrom. They've been pretty supportive of me recently, even offered to help me out with my masters by giving me $5,000 as they said "we see you as a great investment, you're a bright guy" then they come back with "we've been talking with friends and we and they think you're to young and we don't see you as someone who can support our daughter".

To be honest, I'm crushed. It's the typical generation gap at work. Her parents made some bad decisions when they were young and they are doing everything in their power to prevent us making any bad decisions which I admire but we're not them, I am not him.

If this falls through I'm likely going to run away to the UK or Canada.

Or if you were some pro esport starcraft champ you would be fine.

[Retardobot]

Haaaaaaaaaaah.

So sad.

[Codex]

So they've changed their opinion based on someone elses bullshit?

[Xsannz]

Your shit dont stank but roses realy smell like ooooh ooooo.

Gl Rii hang in there bud.

Will see what the uncle has to say about green cards but he is more in the it business.

So they've changed their opinion based on someone elses bullshit?

Yeah, I think so. They've been swayed by their friends. Not they were particularly fond of our decision to marry in the first place but they understood we weren't idiots and that we are two forward thinking people with careers we both want to dominate in.

Then this.

Thanks Xsannz, means a lot dude.

This is what I'm banking on. I wish I could talk directly to her old man without having to email/video call.

I feel I'm being written off without due cause.

[winter]

Hang in there mate - your girl will realize she has to live her own life

On a completely unrelated note, I smell strangely of freshly sawn saw dust. Quite nice if I don't say so myself.

Tomorrow I should rub up against a pine tree and try a pine tree scent for the day. Trees smell nice.

I'll be fighting off hordes of women in no time, you watch.

[Xsannz]

I'm not a clever man.

Winter: For Men.


You could sell it for $100 a bottle.

Pine scent, for men on the prowl.

With hints of Chloroform?

[winter]

With hints of Chloroform?

Nope, this scent is guaranteed rape free.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

I'd spray outrageous amounts on myself.

The scent would be so strong that when I walk into a room, people would start throwing up.

[Xenolightning]

I hope you include the pollen too. That way it will set off everyone with hay-fever.

[Xsannz]

Next fragrance should be fresh mown lawn....

Rii - I don't know your full details - but I do know some of your pain.

I did it old school - called the Future father-in-law (8 days!) and asked his permission to marry his daughter, which earnt me alot of points.

you mentioned that your partners family is Aisian - maybe try learning a speech in their native language - video calling her father and give him your speech? (again don't know your full details, but it might convince the her dad that you aren't an ass and care about his daughter)
