a new grind won't fix your gear

I'm doing part time freelance assistant designing for some clothing distributor company.
Cool, right?

They had me doing Ed Hardy-esque graphics to be screened onto woven shirts for a popular surfing brand that sells in Pac Sun and Walmart.

10 hours later...


I don't even know what I'm doing anymore.
I go the office to hand them in. My external hardrive won't give em up because they work on PC and its doesn't recognize it. And then the one guy with a mac can't open most the files. And the ones he can are sized too small.

Once again, technology aims to embarrass me. I fail at almost all my attempts at being a professional. Always. Why?
