So you know how employers like to know how much time you spent on particular pieces of artwork?
If I'm putting something in my portfolio, and I don't remember how much time I put into it...should I say "I don't know" and leave that out...or should i put in the amount of time I think it would've taken me to do? It's a recent piece so however long it took me wouldn't be too far off to how fast I could do it now.
I'd just feel weird leaving that out if it's asked for.
Okay, no. You're not allowed to do that. You of all people should not be feeling pressure to accomplish more, because it makes me feel like maybe I should be feeling pressure. Especially at 23. I kinda thought you were older than me.
EDIT: And ND, I would say to go with the estimate. If you're reasonably sure it'd have taken you that long, I can't see it being dishonest or anything.
If you guys are mad about getting older, you are probably doing it wrong.
High five, I was just about to say this. I definitely look older than I did when I was 21, and I think it's awesome. I'm also a lot smarter than I was back then and it's totally worth the couple wrinkles I've got. Try aging with grace, you whiny babies!

You know, I've never worried about my physical prowess deteriorating, but the idea of my cognitive functions fading away is terrifying.
Whenever I start feeling old I just go look up some article by bonafide crazy motherfucker Ray Kurzweil, and remind myself each passing year is just one step closer to having an ultrabrain and immortal robotic testicles.
Yeah, my grandmother has Alzheimers, and it's kind of sad to see this incredibly smart and accomplished woman have to deal with it......although physically, she'd go swimming every other day until she was like 83...I'm striving for a similar goal when I'm older.

And thanks for the replies, guys...I think I'll just leave it out, then, unless it's been specifically asked for (some places I've seen ask for time spent on each piece).
I've never seen "time spent on each piece" is required part of portfolio submission other than at schools that want to see some gestures or whatever. That seems more like a 'casually going through your portfolio at an on-site interview' kind of question; when I get that I usually say something equally casual like "a couple hours" or "maybe half an hour?" or "a couple days", not a precise measurement like "25 hours, 10 minutes and 34 seconds. This figure does not include bathroom breaks."

Unfortunately, we were never promised robesticles. But I swear, if I don't have an immortal cyber brain by 2040, I am going to piss on Kurzweil's grave.
...Man, the singularity's not going to happen in our lifetime- if it ever happens at all.

We haven't cured cancer or AIDS or any number of horrible serious diseases yet, but we suffer such a glut of development in the field of wang research that you can't watch television for over 3 minutes without being forced to watch an innuendo-laden wink-wink nudge-nudge commercial about how grandpa got his willy back in action and you really think that robotesticles aren't going to be right at the forefront of the transhuman movement?
You don't understand human motivation at all, do you?

Ha!
All they can do you is make your wang harder. You come back to me when a pill can actually make a bigger donger.
Something makes me think solving erectile dysfunction is a lot easier than curing AIDs and cancer.

Obviously you don't check your spam folder very often.
Also I hear tell that women and some men have had access to mechadongers for quite some time now, with features you can't get on a normal donger. Motorized, dishwasher-safe. Try putting your donger in a dishwasher and see how that comes out.
True mechadongers are going to be way easier to do than true mechabrains.

I want to watch Blade Runner, like right now! God dammit I hate work, it's such a fucking inconvenience to my intensive schedule of sitting on the couch, watching movies and thinking about what I really should be doing.

So, there's this Chinese place near where I am. Chinese food, run by Chinese people, Chinese restaurant ambiance.
But if you don't want Chinese, you can apparently order Italian food instead. It's not Chinese/Italian fusion, there's just a completely different menu. Do I dare ever order off the Italian menu? It just seems so...random.
(It's especially funny that the Italian menu let's you order a "Chinese Chicken Salad", but the Chinese menu doesn't.)

Wait wait wait.
You're saying the tv lies to me?
that's because you're retarded
Do it anyway, and invite your boss to watch it. If he says no, he is not a man worth working for.

There can't be two Chinese/Italian joints in this town, can there?

Preliminary work? No problem. Excessive preliminary work? We've got problems.
It's all your fault, internet! I hate you! I'm never talking to you again!
