weak week
My name value went way up last week. After finding out that we won the pitch for the "buddy" event, all I could think of was how thankful yet surprised I am that things went my way. Not to be pessimistic, but I'm not one of those guys who gets what they want just like that. I'm not really used to taking credit for anything, good or bad. So while everyone's celebrating, I was kind of feeling awkward. It felt like my birthday, not only because I'm feeling happy, but because everyone's expecting my reaction.
But this week's hell of a lot bigger. My co-creative, Jo, went down with some serious illness, leaving me versus three existing accounts (all due this week) and three more coming in next week. Deal breakers like this can easily break the reputation I had last week. I'm not even that worried about what they'll think of me; my biggest concern is how do I do these things in a span of a week. And next week's holy week. Holy crap. Sorry.
Earlier today I got to work again with my former team in McCann. It felt somewhat awkward, but it could have been worse.
