I Quit Existence Magazine :(

So I quit Existence Magazine. Basically, the assignment I was given was nothing like the stuff I was told I'd need to do when I applied for the position. I knew I'd hate doing the assignment, so I quit. I've wanted to be part of a magazine for a while and I asked what I'd need to do if I got the position. It sounded perfect for me so I applied and got the job. I was told:

'The colour expert does 3 things:

1. Helps Editor + Co-Editor come up with a good colour theme to match the time of year

2. Writes a little article about colour schemes on different aspects (on clothes, houses)

3. Gives Fashion/Make-Up Experts ideas on what things to get (colour-wise)'

I then waited for months for an assignment and got this:

For this issue, I would like you to give some interior tips using the colours, Black and White. It can be modern or old fashioned, but you must give an example for each room and a little description under each picture. Your rooms are going to be: Living Room, Kitchen, Dining Room, Bathroom and also Bedroom. Good Luck!

The first sentence sounded okay. I assumed I'd be given pictures, and I could just write about the colours and how they contrasted, and say why this worked well in the interior of the house. Then I read the next sentence. I was never told I'd have to get pictures. That was part of the reason why I liked this job. My computer isn't great so it takes ages for me to get pictures. I don't mind getting pictures for my blog. That's fun, and I can just do what I want. But I just end up fed up and bored when I have to do it, and it becomes a chore. Plus I'm terrible at interior design. I would have really not enjoyed this assignment. I thought for this job I'd just be giving people ideas and writing articles.

Sorry about my little rant but I needed to say something and I haven't posted lately. I will be posting more again extremely soon. I've had tons of homework and hardly any time to play sims. I feel really bad.
