Remember What You've Done - RD257

<h2>Do you remember every design job you've ever done?</h2> <p>Please think of this as a PSA, a public service announcement from me to you. Remember what you’ve done.</p> <p class="p1">This week’s topic came about after three separate incidents this past week. I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but after the third time, I just knew I had to talk about it.</p> <h2>Incident #1</h2> <p class="p1">The first incident happened this past weekend. My son asked me if I had a certain Tom Clancy book. Rainbow Six, to be exact. He’s looking for something to read and wanted to give it a try. So I told him I’d have a look.</p> <p class="p1">I keep most of my books in rubber storage bins in my basement. I have a tough time parting with books I've enjoyed and have several large bins full of them.</p> <p class="p1">So one night this week, I went digging through our storage area in hunt of this novel. We don’t just have books stored downstairs. There are all sorts of things down there in bins. As I was sifting through them, I came across a plastic bag. Inside was a baseball cap with an embroidered logo I had designed for a client. It was a logo for an over 50 beer league hockey team. The team was called the Old Timers.</p> <p class="p1">The logo I designed was an old-style alarm clock. You know, the kind with the two bells on the top. The clock face was one of an old man. And the clock had legs and arms and was using a banged-up hockey stick as a walking cane.</p> <p class="p1">Seeing that logo brought back so many memories. I designed it 15 or 20 years ago. And I had completely forgotten about it. So much so that if you had asked me before that if I had ever designed a logo for a hockey team, I would have only thought of one. The one I created for our local minor hockey league. I would never have remembered that old-time hockey logo.</p> <p>Remember what you've done.</p> <h2>Incident #2</h2> <p class="p1">The second incident happened a couple of days ago. I was on my way back home from Walmart when I saw flashing lights ahead
