Here’s a few things that would happen in my Fantasy World: – Criss Angel would be fired / removed from the script. He’d also have to pay his half of the contract plus all the money lost becasue of his screwups. Or, maybe he could tragically die during one of his tricks. You know, like actually […]
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” […]
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 […]
Just one more reason why my boss rocks: Background: My swim coach’s philosophy on being sick was unless you had a 102+ degree fever AND you were puking you should be at practice.

I really enjoyed this post on Agency Spy about The Don’ts of Advertising Agencies: The Women’s Edition. Here’s a few of my favorites and a few of my own: Don’t call me a bitch. Shockingly, I’m not on the rag everyday. I just know what I want and am willing to go to any length […]
As budget season winds to a close and presentation season gets into full swing, I thought I’d provide a few tips on presenting: Dress to impress. Wear makeup. Put on a suit and tie (if applicable) and break out the cuff links. Hell, I even wear shoes to these meetings. Decide the appropriate forum for […]
Another scenario about the BDA that I just don’t understand: – You’ve been working on my account for ten months. – When you first came on board, I spent two full weeks out of my personal time explaining our brand to you. In fact, we shared a desk so you could get an up close […]
I seem to write a lot of posts on “things I don’t get”. Maybe I’ll start a series. Anyway here’s some from this week: Everyone’s complete inability to follow simple instructions. My voice mail clearly and repeatedly states that if you reach it, follow up via email at xxxxxx@company.com. I even spell the email address out […]
