10:49:43 AM Hunter Hastings: Hey Jeff
11:01:03 AM ekindesigns: hell
11:01:05 AM ekindesigns: hello
11:02:09 AM Hunter Hastings: I'm not sure what you're implying by calling me creepy, the simple fact of the matter is that I was introduced to Line2 through Morgan at Ignition Tallent out of SOMACentral.
11:02:57 AM ekindesigns: I don't remember calling you creepy
11:03:15 AM Hunter Hastings: Oh, sorry, shady*
11:03:21 AM ekindesigns: ah yes.
11:03:42 AM ekindesigns: So, you follow me on dribbble
11:03:48 AM ekindesigns: surely you have seen my work for line2
11:04:05 AM Hunter Hastings: I knew you worked contract for Line2, how does that have anything to do with my own career?
11:04:59 AM ekindesigns: ok
11:05:41 AM Hunter Hastings: I was looking forward to working with you again. Still am. Your visual design is top tier, and so is my UX and Product Design. We're going to do great things for Line2, that's the bottom line.
11:06:10 AM ekindesigns: See...It's going to be difficult for me
11:06:23 AM ekindesigns: 1st.
11:06:26 AM ekindesigns: i thought we were friends
11:06:30 AM ekindesigns: hell, i got you moved to SF
11:06:48 AM ekindesigns: not sure how difficult it would have been to say...
11:07:11 AM ekindesigns: "dude, line2 just emailed me about a fulltime position, what do you think"
11:07:27 AM ekindesigns: in fact. i have gotten that message from another friend of mine
11:08:07 AM ekindesigns: not to mention
11:08:17 AM ekindesigns: you are not very open to critique
11:08:33 AM ekindesigns: it seems as though you think you are the best of the best and you cant get better
11:08:38 AM ekindesigns: and it shoes
11:08:40 AM ekindesigns: shows
11:08:54 AM ekindesigns: you ask what i think about somethgin
11:08:56 AM ekindesigns: i tell you
11:09:07 AM ekindesigns: and everytime you come up with some bullshit excuse to ignore me
11:09:17 AM ekindesigns: super difficult to work with something like that
11:10:35 AM ekindesigns: and we end up getting in some stupid argument where i am defending my opinions
11:12:40 AM Hunter Hastings: A lot of the time, Jeff, it feels like you're on the offensive with me. I have absolutely no clue why. It baffles me completely. If I don't think your visual design opinions are consistent with my client's requirements, of course I'm not going to act on every bit of feedback - however, I've always appreciated your time.
11:13:00 AM ekindesigns: oh?
11:13:04 AM ekindesigns: YOUR clients?!
11:13:05 AM Hunter Hastings: You are right, it would have been a good idea to email you about Line2 earlier, I honestly overlooked the fact that you'd be offended.
11:13:06 AM ekindesigns: lolololololol
11:13:09 AM ekindesigns: YOUR client
11:13:15 AM ekindesigns: you took over my old job
11:13:40 AM ekindesigns: i know them MUCH better than you
11:13:41 AM Hunter Hastings: Yeah Jeff, MY clients. They pay me for the work I do, and they are happy.
11:14:07 AM Hunter Hastings: My goal is *not* to argue with you, my goal is to try to figure out why the hell you are on the offensive
11:14:10 AM Hunter Hastings: You've given me *no* clues
11:14:10 AM ekindesigns: you said its not consistent with YOUR clients requirements
11:14:21 AM ekindesigns: Again, i created the brand
11:14:25 AM ekindesigns: i created everyhere there
11:14:36 AM ekindesigns: i am fully aware of the requirements
11:14:37 AM ekindesigns: and what they like
11:14:42 AM ekindesigns: dont play me like i am dumb
11:14:44 AM Hunter Hastings: Yeah and the staff there disliked the color scheme and the giant olympic metal thing
11:14:53 AM ekindesigns: that is the EXACT reason its going to be hard with Line2
11:14:53 AM Hunter Hastings: They asked me to clean it up, make it more professional
11:14:54 AM Hunter Hastings: So I did
11:15:22 AM Hunter Hastings: So this is about the fact that I stepped in at Socialize and changed up your designs?
11:15:36 AM ekindesigns: professional is a tiled background of the logo?
11:15:37 AM ekindesigns: lolol
11:15:38 AM ekindesigns: nice
11:15:46 AM ekindesigns: no
11:15:57 AM ekindesigns: lol, clearly you arent reading the conversation
11:16:04 AM ekindesigns: i told you exactly why its hard to work with you
11:16:27 AM Hunter Hastings: Okay Jeff. Enough. I told you several times I am not trying to argue. You on the other hand, are clearly trying to argue. I'm finished.
11:16:34 AM ekindesigns: ok
11:16:36 AM Hunter Hastings: Everything you've said is a matter of your own opinion
11:17:49 AM Hunter Hastings: If you seriously feel some strong urge to continue to be on the offensive, than clearly we won't be able to work together. If you cool down and breathe for a second, you'll realize I'm just another normal guy making a living in a similar (but not the same) profession.
11:18:29 AM Hunter Hastings: Really hope we can work out our differences and work together. I'm off the computer for a while. Have a good day Jeff.
