A harrassed-under-the-surface AE and three unusually quiet Creatives stand around a client inspecting a series of print ads to break the next day.
The AE looks out the window. Even at 1:30AM on a Saturday, whole floors of office buildings on Ayala have their lights turned on.
"Those must be call centers," the AE observes.
"Or ad agencies," a Creative suggests.
The AE laughs. The Client grunts.
----------------------
At 3AM, a Creative lays finished ads on a table before a difficult client.
"Pretty, diba!?" The Creative asks him with a flourish of one hand.
The Client looks at her other hand. And then looks up at her."You're holding a bat."
The AE quickly steps in. "It's made of plastic!" she laughs.*
-----------------------
I'd like to think that it took uncharacteristic temper-control for me not to finally snap early this morning despite 10 days worth of food and sleep deprivation. So yay, personal growth. :)
So work has NOT been bad. I think I enjoy my work enough for it to never be flat-out bad. The past few weeks have just been... tough.
*The Creative was really just playing with the plastic bat out of boredom a few minutes before. She had no violent intentions.
