Rejected With Comic Timing

, , , | Working | June 17, 2025

I’ve been at my design firm long enough now that I have the power to choose my jobs and clients. I have “done my time in the trenches” working for clients who know nothing about design but still insist on their very bad ideas every step of the way. We still have to deal with those clients as a company, but I don’t have to work those jobs anymore.

Most of the time, I accept a job that comes my way, but recently I have turned one down.

Boss: *Coming by.* “Why did you decline to accept [job] from [Client]?”

Manager: “They sent over their proposal, and the entire thing was written in Comic Sans.”

Boss: “…As you were.”
