egypturnash"My loathing for this tool is deep and complex and far more intimate than I would like it to be." - me, on the subject of Flash.
I finished off the first of what will hopefully be a fair number of little things for American Greetings today. This is what I was using Flash for - in particular, a package of animated emoticons for MSN Messenger*. Depending on whether or not they want the source files as well as the rendered gifs, I may be greatly altering their workflow to suit my sanity - changing file structures, changing the complete toolpath. I'm already doing that a little, because they're using Freehand and Fireworks, and the only Macromedia app I'll grudgingly have on my machine is Flash. I really need to figure out how to bend my resume to admit that I worked with that tool, but avoid looking like someone who should be hired to do stuff in it; it really makes my blood pressure rise precipitously.
No Halloween fun because of this, and because of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
queenofstripes being sick, and other things. Oh well.
*which I will never see in use because it's Windows-only, and because everyone I IM with uses AIM, and because animated emoticons make me scream. But MSN Messenger is all flickertwitchy, and expansion of the flickertwitchiness has been monetized. If I go work on this stuff with my laptop in a cafe, I will be so Internet Two Point Oh that it'll hurt.
