Reason #1: One of my coworkers (design genius coworker) showed me how to make seamless patterns in illustrator. My life has officially been changed. I am in love. I started with my normal copy/paste headache:
And then expanded with new knowledge:
I need to buy ink for my printer so I can wallpaper EVERYTHING.
Reason #2 for excitement: Our apt was broken into, during the day, while we were at work, THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR! Some lock. Some guard dogs (although I'm sure Summer tried her best -> I believe there will be some artwork to come reflecting this). Laptops were stolen. Ugh. Luckily, Scott has renter's insurance and a much larger limit on his credit card than I, so I am now posting on a BRAND NEW MACBOOK PRO!!!** And I was backed up-ish so not too much lost. Really, the best case scenario for awful situation. Scott has also left his Dell days behind and got on the Mac wagon. Perhaps now he will stop harassing me for paying more attention to my computer than to him.
**Ooh, maybe I shouldn't be advertising? Please don't come back robber. I've had a long talk with the dogs and Rex is now clear on his duties (biting robbers = good).
holy crap. i'm glad you guys weren't there when it happened. and hooray for a new macbook! but damn. :(
ReplyDeletei always waited for that to happen in fayetteville. when you and i worked at thirdrail, the apt i was living in was in the ghet-to. like, bad. and i left my keys in there somehow one day, and was locked out, and i picked the lock with my credit card. i was like... this is so scary.
damn. i'm very glad you guys are okay :) and i literally LOLed when i read the wallpaper part. i need to hear this new secret knowledge. we can wallpaper things together via the internet.
