Default Being Redundant.

Having been such for the past few months as I beaver away to find another better job, I look back creatively on what I've done. I mean I have been creating some odd bits here and there, I started with my site and the like, but generally the whole redundancy makes you question yourself.

Fact is, its silly - you know its not you because its due to lack of that position being required or in my case lack of incoming work to sustain it. It does however, make you think am I creative? Am I any good at this? It knocks the full on creativity out of you a little.

Thankfully my time on here is helped, seeing talented people, hoping I am helping them as they help me also and getting positive feedback on stuff i've done.

Thanks all.

arrr but London monkeys might get paid more but they also have higher rents and cost of living. Plus that whole ****** hectic tube like thing is not for me in a daily way.

but hey.

I know how u feel. I've given up trying to find a new design job as everytime i apply i get knocked back because i have experience but no degree. I have an interview for a job being a receptionist tomorrow, which should be extremely boring, haha
