this afternoon, the boss came in and let me know that the dean didn't like the scrapbook that i've been taking pictures for for the last year...and that took me about 24 hours of work to complete.
i guess what i just don't understand is *why* he didn't bring this all up when i showed it to him before i was finished. i just really...there's no words to describe how much this upsets me. my boss tells me not to take it personally - that it's not a comment on my skill level as a graphic designer or anything. yes. this i grasp. not everything is square in the book. he made the comment that some of the stuff was "loose" because it wasn't squared up with the edge of the page. uh. no. it was meant to be like that. thank you.
so, here's this week's big non-revelation: the dean is a control freak with no communication skills. he can only tell people what he doesn't like. he is unable to communicate what he wants in the first place. you'd think after my four-month-approval-even-though-the-whole-thing-was-finished experience with him and mays' home page, i would have realized this and run screaming. but, alas.
