Finally, to end this writer’s day on a piece of op-ed, the site Ten Thousand Things has a fun post up called “Dear Colleagues,” which asks designers to lay off being so dang cocky. It’s a good, quick read and particularly something to hold on to and potentially pass along to co-conspirators when you’re complaining about those people you’ve run into at conferences or, heck, maybe even share an office with.
