5 Relationship Non-Negotiables that define: Me
Published on 2012-05-16 21:51:00
A couple of days ago I was talking to a friend who is still single and is starting out on the dating circles again. She was complaining that... well, let's just say that whatever is out there, it's just difficult to work with. I don't know where she's trying to meet new men (I am one of those who thinks that a bar is not a place to look anyway), but her statement left me thinking... what would happen if I were single again and had to find a hot hunk? What would I not agree on, no matter what? I' [..] > read more

I confess: I watch Mad Men. But I swear, I don’t watch because it’s about advertising. It’s actually very good drama. Also, like everyone else these days, I got a thing for retro stuff. We all do. Why do you think Instagram is so popular? All that wonderful 21st century technology just to take cheap Polaroids!Anyway, regarding the retro thing, I am especially drawn to the wardrobe on the show.

Letarded: the reality about lazy stupid people
Published on 2012-04-27 06:44:00
Lethargy as defined is the quality or state of being drowsy and dull, listless and unenergetic. It is also closely associated with apathetic or sluggish inactivity. Although we probably work with people with an admirable work ethic, that doesn’t change the reality that we share our air with the Jaba the Hutt’s of life.It’s funny because so many people complain about stupid people who don’t know how to do their work and suck as co-workers, yet these same people are EXACTLY the way they co [..] > read more

Clients of all types can be a real pain in the ass. They demand quality, excellence, results, speed and accuracy yet they get off on the wrong foot by not offering the complete information from the getgo. If the commercial has legals, we need them along with the job order. If it’s an invitation, it’d be nice to know where the event is and who to RSVP with.

Quite honestly, clients have been spoiled for too long. Sure, I know clients got taken for a ride in the 80’s and early 90’s, but for the most part, ad people have been taking major shit from stubborn and spoiled clients for too long. While 80’s advertising had TV commercials that had bigger budgets than some films, 2012 advertising has most creatives doing miracles with peanuts.As if the haggling wasn’t the most annoying part, there are the revisions.
