Okay, before we get started, my computer has been doing weird stuff. So are you seeing my message?
yees
sweet! thanks!
you just said that your friend got called to Chile and just left my heart was broken
Yes, okay it wasnt showing up on mine. and it's happened before and the only thing that has worked is getting out and back in again. So sorry!
no problem! so how was your day besides your cmoputer being poopy
It's been really tiring actually. I had school and then work, but it ended on a good note! How was your day?
its been really good! I just worked and chilled with my girlfriend
Good! What do you do for your work?
I do User Experience design for apps and websites!
So that sounds cool, but what exactly is experience design? Do you desing the apps and websites?
So basically I design stuff that is intuitive and pretty
I'm intrigued :) but what do you mean by intuitive?
so like people don't ahve to think about some of the actions they need to take on the app in order to get to like the menu or using a feature. It just makes sense designing so it just makes sense
Oh! okay that makes sense! That's a super cool job! Have you always been interested in design or do you enjoy more of the computer programing side of it?
you know to be honest I tried to become more of an engineer but I am not super good at coding I found out so I looked into user experience design and it turned out that I am pretty design oriented and have a good eye for design! so I design the app and tell the engineers what to do its pretty great hahaha
That's awesome!! I love how life works out like that.  And it's cool that you found a job and a field that you love, you seem passionate about it. I think that's super important. What's the point of life if you get up hating what you do every day? That's what I think anyway
yeah but you know what sucks? the world is making us work to live and live to work
Yeah... It's like work becomes your identity, and not that that is necessarily a bad thing, but so much more can define you than "oh what do you do?" like family, religion, life experience, moral stances, etc.
wow that is so true
haha, thanks. I pull out a soap box every once and a while I guess... What were you thinking when you talked about work to live and vice versus
I was just thinking that the things that is fun needs money and if you want money you need to work and if you want to make more money then you need to go to college and college needs money and then you need to work its a never ending circle
Yes, I was just going to say it's a cycle. And then you get the money for college, but only by working or taking out loans, so your entire life is dedicated to work. There's so much more to it than that. Life should be more than just work.
yes I agree but we can't escape it.
So I guess all we can hope for is to enjoy it. Not everybody is as lucky as you!
oh haha thanks but I don't think I am that lucky. I think the most important thing is to be grateful in our circumstance as Elder Uchtdorf taught
True. They're solid words to live by. Gratitude is important.
yes definitely who is your favorite prophet or apostle?
I love Elder Uchtdorf actually. He is definetly one of my favorites. I also love Elder Bednar and Elder Stevenson. What about you?
Elder Holland he brings the fire to the podium
so true! he is so direct and definetly doesn't sugar coat anything. but I think that's some of the reason it's so powerful.
yes I agree I met Elder Stevenson last winter in person haha and I know one of his sons too
No way! how was it? Amazing I'm sure, but still. Was it cool?
its crazy because at this gathering there were so many people there and he learned like everyones name i swear and after an hour later he says goodbye and called me by name i was so impressed
I know! these men are supposed to be "old" or something but they for sure don't act like it. It's just a testament to me of how God is all powerful and can do anything
look at President Nelson he is a super human! he is healthier than I am and does cooler things than me!
Right! he puts us all to shame!
he is an amazing man super cool to have him as our prophet
Yeah I agree. I loved President Monson, but it is really nice to know his health isn't so bad anymore. And now we have Pres Nelson who has so much energy with him
yes!!!!
It's refreshing So Question: which I think is very telling of someone, What is your favorite color? Or I might just be cliche... :) but I think it's a good question.
I love all color but I tend to wear all black most of the time hey I gotta go but lets chat again soon! it was really fun
