from industry to industry

i never thought i'd say it but...

i miss advertising.

or at least, certain aspects of it:

• waltzing in anytime before 10.30am without feeling guilty
• running around the office like maniacs barefooted
• sneaking off to tea time with my boss and colleagues any time of the day
• extended lunches anywhere and everywhere
• being surrounded by party animals including the BIG BOSS
• having a family-like group of people to work with
• brainstorming and freedom to conceptualise (within certain restrictions)
• yelling at servicing for no real reason (but they know it's just a bit of fun)

but i certainly don't miss:

• working ungodly hours
• being chucked job briefs at 6pm and having to stay back all of a sudden
• having servicing calling me up and saying, "i'm coming over now!"
• stupid clients with shit for brains giving dumbass feedback
• being caught up in a net of politics
• running around like a headless chicken trying to complete mock-ups which were due an hour ago

well... every job has its ups and downs. but in the end, i realise being happy with your work environment really makes a shitty job that much more tolerable.

i miss my y&r family!!
