Frank Payne - Ten year class reunion

Frank Payne — Fri, 2 Oct 2009 04:31:14 +0000

Bush isn't my favorite band in the world but they struck some kind of magic chord with Swallowed. That's up there with Billy Joel's "My Life" in the canon of perfect pop songs.

Gabe, I loved you. Then I saw that your Senior photo was you + a keyboard... and I REALLY loved you. You are nerdy to the core. It's undeniable and infectious. I love it!

Congrats on putting yourself and your feelings first, I think it's a true sign of growing as a person. I've known you a long time now, and you have always done what others expect you to do...not so much what you want to do...

Way to go Gabe...I know if I would have gotten that email in my inbox...I probably would have flipped out and just left. I have been in your spot before, and you are right, it isn't about money, and it isn't about the work load, cause let's be honest, the people that love their jobs, the kind of person you want to become, are the ones that work harder than most everyone else. It is about not having to put up with crap like that email. ps....I don't mind the bitching on twitter, kinda nice to remember why I left that environment! :) Good luck with the search! You will find something great...

I think there's something to be said about the movie office space. Appreciation will always outweigh money. You can't live off it but you can't crawl out of bed and live your life without it.

This was a very well written post and I'm glad you see you acknowledge you deserve better.

I can't offer your support in terms of offering an upgrade but you know as a good friend I'm well aware you deserve respect for the efforts you put forward.

P.S. Just start taking Friday nights off :)

If you are not appreciated, it's time to move on. I was gone back in november had I not gotten sick. Why? Not b/c of the work, but never feeling appreciated. The more I got done, the more they loaded up on me. Just remember what price you are willing to pay in your career. When it becomes more than that, move on.

Nice play-by-play. I always laugh when people are seemingly fascinated by art processes. I could say the same thing about your more digital work. BTW - where's your music posted?
