abovetheearth Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Yeah well I take naps sprawled out on a coach, at work. In yo face. the closet has a bed. bigbruise gets...'bruised?' BAM. i couldnt fall asleep. ill just take enough xanax to get me there. Hows about getting your roomie a job? we do have offices on the east coast. but i doubt they allow napping.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Places that allow naps at work don't like it when you leave. In my experience, the more in-office perks you have access too, the longer they want you in the office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abovetheearth Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 designer for an ad agency with some monster pharmaceutical clients. BIG boys. digital and print. i went to school to be an elementary school teacher. doodled in class too much, switched to art. did graphic design and illustration. graphic design was laughable in the mid 90's. as was my degree. first hired as a pre-press dude in a factory, then worked my way to agencies across the city. work in KC. been in a few agencies, and life can be good with the right one. i recommend this to everyone. its an industry for anyone. but HOLY SHIT with concepts, clients, meetings, rejections x's 100, starting over, offending everyone, not reaching everyone..... exactly like mad men. exactly.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 In a few months I'll be selling the house, polishing the portfolio and moving somewhere, thinking larger agency as I've done the boutique thing for a while. Where are the offices, is KC the hub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovetheearth Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 NYC is the hub. its a pretty good sized agency. we have many here in the city, the midwest agencies operate a lot cheaper than east and west coast pricing. We're in NYC, KC, NJ, and CT i would like the boutique thing, i have a feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 You may. You rely more on the talent around you to be fulfilled. In the sense that when teams are small you want everyone to be invested and intelligent. When that isn't the case it becomes a lot more crushing. The biggest benefit to me is lack of specialization, you get to do and learn a lot more I think. Is your agency named after a color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovetheearth Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 yes The biggest benefit to me is lack of specialization, you get to do and learn a lot more I think. this is so true. i cant even explain how/what ive learned in just a week.

alogical Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I started classes today. My psych professor somehow has managed to teach at the school since 1969 but can barely speak English. This semester is not off to a good start I don't think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

controlthebleeding Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 sucks, when you do work for someone and suddenly they want something else. or when someone plans to buy something from you and then backs out last minute. so my bday will be pretty uneventful. no going out, no drinking. nothing. just coming home and eating a sandwich and going to bed early like last year. fml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovetheearth Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Got a friend who is a successful poker player. It's his career. Has a WSOP bracelet, sponsors etc. He just won some tourney and it's on his FB. A giant pile of cash. Easily over 500k. He fucks around at the local casinos and gets up 15k+ in less than an hour. I looked at the pic. Fuckin A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
