Turning Down Work
July 17, 2006
You might think I’m crazy, as a relatively new freelancer, to be turning down work, but I’m REALLY not into poker. I don’t mind playing the occasional friendly poker game, but spending my working hours steeped in lousy gif animations, affiliate codes, and terminology that means as much to me as an ancient text written in Aramaic (which is to say nothing) is just not my idea of fun. Poker sites just don’t turn my crank. I don’t want to do poker sites, so I’m passing on offers and requests to work on them.
Even if I did do some development on one, I don’t feel it’s the sort of thing I really want in my portfolio. I’ve done two poker-related sites up until now, and I was pretty happy with some of the graphics I produced, but that’s about it.
I just finished an email to someone about this subject, so I thought I would also post here a notice to potential poker-site persons: I fold!
