White Ribbon Morning Tea Poster

One afternoon at approximately 5.30 pm, I got off the bus from a loooong day at work and received a text message from my boss requesting me to make a White Ribbon Morning Tea Fundraiser poster.

It was due the next day!

As much as I love my boss... crikey!... there goes my sleep. Sure it's a favour for her but I really need to work on my '1000 hours' (1000 hours makes an expert) and during those hours, the more free jobs you do for people, the more experience you get and to add to your portfolio.

So goodbye sleep but thankfully I managed to get this poster finished at 2.17 am and still get up at 6.00 am!

They didn't end up putting up my White Ribbon poster because of the usual workplace do-gooder nutjob, professionally offended by anything that might actually make people uncomfortable, whinging that it was “too graphic”.

This was in employee-only areas too, not somewhere the general public was going to stumble across it.

Thank Christ they were there to protect grown adults from the confronting reality of a poster about confronting reality.
