Rob! Can you still spit between your front teeth?
And Bree Lamers may be my cousin – not too many of them out there, I would think. My cousin is in her late 30s early 40s though…but if it is a Lamers from Appleton, I am probably in their DNA somewhere.
And not to shatter the dream, but I am pretty far from cool these days – but thanks for the props!

ROG WOULD APPROVE. Hillarious! I live in Appleton now. My thirteen year old daughter was messing around w/ my laptap. Her friend “Bree Lamers” google searched her last name and this picture came up. I freaked out and said I know that guy! I sat next to him in Geometry. They asked if you were cool and I said yes, of course.

Ah, Kat – a word of advice then. Be yourself – full-on. You are much more valuable than whatever paycheck you are trying to claim by snowing them.
I swallowed my own personality for years, and the indigestion is horrible.
The other key, is online work does not require face time.
You won’t get an in-house gig with a ‘hawk most likely…but you certainly can work for people all over the world who won’t care a bit what you look like.

I don’t deserve your hero status – but I am with you, sister. Cheers.

You,, sir are my hero. I been spending countless hours looking at portfolios in the attempts to figure how to broach the subject on my appearances vs. my skills for web/graphic design. Been hard to figure out how to strike the balance.
