good advice for when you are dealing with bullshit, within an ultimately rewarding job. from tanner woodford, the co-founder, chairman, and executive director of the Chicago Design Museum, in interview with sonnenzimmer (whose design work is amazing):

TW: The Chicago Design Museum is the funnest and most gratifying thing I’ve ever been a part of. That said, getting an independent non-profit off the ground can be really fucking frustrating in ways I never considered. It’s sort of like when you do manual labor for a day, and discover a muscle you never knew you had because it hurts like hell the next day. With a big project like this, the pain can be physical, cognitive, emotional, or unexpectedly absent, often simultaneously. It’s a great conduit for making a person have feelings. Whenever I need to walk it off, I think about all of the people that have put time, energy, money, and love into this gallery.
