April Foo…. oh… not a single one of you fell for it this time. Guess I’ll have to try harder next year? In any rate, thanks for playing.
Impressed by my adequate service up in Greenland on the lush elk farms of yore, “Uncle Rick”, my managing Elkmaster for the past two summers in the small town of St. Gul’libel, has requested I lead a team of new design interns to help work on the campaigns that will make his business even more successful than years’ previous. What’s great is, not only do I get to continue gaining great experience in the field I love (and the field I love), I’ll get to lead younger designers, and actually make a few on the side. I completely forgot about posting photos again from last year’s outing, but I won’t forget this time, surely!
Rick’s voice mail made me crack up. I’ll paraphrase and do my best to remember it, “Rhine? Rhine! (It’s how he pronounces Ryan) Git yurself up he’ah. We gotta see you rassle up ‘dem elk! How ma’y times we gonna see you fahfurdis?” (fall in front of these elk, which he often asked me when I would slip in the mud while taking photos of the elk) It took me awhile to understand that was actually what he meant. Call me the fool! Anyways, in light of a new spring month starting, I felt this news needed to be made known. I’ll post my leaving date shortly once I get in contact with his team tomorrow via Skype. I love that little program… brings everybody together!
[The following was an April Fool's gag. Thanks for playing!]
Last spring you may recall I took an internship on a elk farm in St. Gul’libel, Greenland as a resident graphic designer. Well, it looks like they’ve asked me to come back and do some design work for them! Do you believe it??? The yield of product skyrocketed there this past year, apparently due to the help on the farm and my slightly improved branding for them! Better ads make happier elks, it seems!
So, I’m taking leave from the good ol’ Seattle and once again going North. Instead of flying, I’m considering taking a train through Canada. I’ve always enjoyed trains and it would be a great time to get to see more of Canada. I’ve been cooped up in this town for a bit too long. I need to stretch my legs a bit. I’ll post once my boss “Uncle Rick”, as he likes to be called, nails down the specific dates. I did let him know about my summer plans as mentioned in the blog below and he said it would not be a problem. So he’s gonna work around it!
Some of you complained I didn’t take a camera last time. I’m not much for taking pictures, but I’ll do it for you all. I might have to finally open a Flickr account. I’d hate to be a patsy and miss out, would you?
