I currently hate my Account Team. I hope they all rot in hell and die. Here’s some tips if you’re a BDA and don’t want your Client to wish the same: Don’t question my budget. HELLO, I want to spend money. It’s not coming from your initial budget. You’re telling me you don’t want “free” […]
In my “I really need to sleep, but feel too sick to do so” state, I came to a realization… there’s a huge difference between great sex and great orgasms. You can have great sex with a lot of people. In fact, you can have a so-so orgasm and still have great sex. But, you can’t […]
Just a few more things I don’t get: Why would you lay off staff members 4-5 days before your biggest event of the ENTIRE year?! Wait, I take that back. The damn event has supposedly been 10 years in the making. The event has already received crap reviews. “All” eyes are going to be on […]
Yeah, yeah, I know I’ve posted this picture before, but it deserves a repost. I just wish the site could do more damage to the picture. I must say, my dream came half true during filming. But, alas, I wasn’t there to witness it and the honor went to a bull, not me. Remember when […]
Every year on my birthday I get a special delivery… a birthday card from a dead guy. Seriously. So far, the cards have always been funny. This year’s said, “You’re officially closer to 30 than 20.” It was one of our inside jokes. Part of me is glad he had the insight to do this. […]
The new Mac ads are brilliant. In two, 30 second spots, Mac effectively destroyed Microsoft’s $300 million dollar campaign and solidifies who really rocks at making Mac vs. PC ads. A few of the things that make this campaign great: Timeliness. Microsoft’s campaign launched around September 19. Thirty days later, Mac was able to come back […]
What your title really means: Executive Assistant: You hold the keys to the kingdom. Milk it for all its worth. Manager: Honestly, do you really manage anything? This is for the people who have surpassed the Account Executive-esque titles, but are still a LONG step away from being a Director. This title is also for […]
In general, I think titles are silly and shortsighted. The moment someone announces a title, they’re pigeonholed, not only to themselves but also to those around them. It’s why I rarely use titles, as cool as they may be 🙂 Titles are shortsighted because they don’t translate across the board. A coordinator in one department […]
David Armano’s newest picture, The Corporate Social Media Curve, made me chuckle as I’ve seen this all too often. However, I’ve discovered an easy way to avoid this curve… educate and excite. If you have to involve legal folks, old school PR people and IT, then there’s only one way to get everyone on board. […]
Today was filled with unexpected excitement. Part of me is trying really hard to not count my chickens before they “officially” hatch. The other part is realizing that the creation of a “When I was 26” list will be needed. If this chicken hatches, I will have completed the three “realistic” items on my “When I was 25” list. 🙂 […]
