the ups-and-downs and sides-to-sides of the little things that make up life
I am currently ROYALLY pissed off and completely befuddled by a few things: People’s COMPLETE inability to use spell check. Honestly, how hard is it to click one button? You don’t even have to know how to spell a damn thing. Any computer program has a function that does it for you! Why would you […]
A few things I just don’t get about Sales Professionals / people trying to pitch us / people who have a promotional idea: Sales Professionals who come to a meeting 100% unprepared. Hell, some of them don’t even bring a deck to pretend they’re prepared. Even more developers don’t bring a demo of their product. […]
Wow, haven’t blogged in awhile, but I’m sure I’ll make up for it in the next day or so; got a lot of stories. Of course, the first one will be about karma: I spend a year and a half working really hard to get everyone on board with this crazy thing called interactive marketing […]
Ummm… how long does it take to write a f’ing press release? It’s not a 3,000 word feature story, it includes minor, if any, research and if memory serves, I used to bang out press releases in under an hour.So, remind me again why it takes TWO WHOLE MONTHS (and counting) to write a press […]

Allow me to, once again, be boogled…Scenerio: Press Release, etc. is scheduled for 5:35 am the next day… Logo is revoked at 6:30 pm night before. It is decided we will go out tomorrow with NO visual. Are you f’ing kidding me?!? 5:35 am press release. Seriously?! Who chose that time. Again, what the f*ck? […]
More things my tiny brain just can’t comprehend: How can you be gainfully employed as a “Copywriter” and SUCK at writing copy, let alone proof reading and using spell check?? Our front line slot staff writes better copy than some of the copywriters I know. It’s a sad day when you write the advertising copy […]
Things that confuse me: 1. Why people don’t ask for original files. It’s not a new concept. 2. How you can work in the biz for 2+ years and not ask for complete, original files. 3. How you can call yourself a production artist and not know how to convert eps files to psd files. […]
