    Help me get fired!

    Hey, help me out so I can quit my crappy waiter job and get a "real job". I want to create a more readable resume page when I figure out action script, and I plan to get it hosted without the ads. I will also be expecting suggestions on cool ways to quit...or get fired! Thank you.

    Cool site! Yes, the ads should be removed.

    The text on the contact page cannot be read. The background color is flickering too frequently, which makes me dizzy, as if I was watching a bad TV.

    For the job, why not just go straight to your boss and say it?

    Thanks for the input. I am joking about the ways to get fired, I just thought it might stir up some interesting conversation. Any more suggestions???

    Yes. I really like the site. But I do think that people that are seeking a website might not know much about computers, so I reccomend that you say something like "Click the gun to enter" , or something along those lines. Overall, I like it a lot, but you may want to think about getting your own domain.

    I agree that the way to enter the site was too difficult...the gun isn't the obvious button, I almost gave up right before I found it.

    Why so small? Everything is so cramped...even the big pictures of your work are hard to see. You have 800 pixels of width and unlimited height to use...you should use a little more of it.

    If you don't do this professionally (or even if you do), you should say something about each project like the client, when you did it, the concept, etc. If you're applying for an entry-level position nobody will be expecting you to have a bunch of prestigious projects under your belt.

    The flickering IS kind of irritating after a while.

    Your credits-style resume made me want to kill you... It was SO slow and then it was gone! and then it was back....it drove me insane.

    Your email address should be a link in the contact section...it's hard enough to read as it is.

    Finally...a domain and a better webhost are definitely in order.

    But...

    For good ways to get fired from the food-services industry see the movies "Fight Club" or "Waiting" (in theatres now with Ryan Reynolds).

    I am a big fan of both Waiting and Fight Club and will take that into consideration! jk. Thank you all for the input, I definitely have some direction to take my site now.
