This advertising Life: Just another rainy day
It's just another rainy day. A soft tune flew out from a blown up speaker as it tries to fight off the sound of rain. The room tinted in mild grey. Everyone working in a comfortable quite and mild whispers and conversations echo’ed in the air. Hot coffee in some table, warm water in some. No one felt alone and there’s a just smile on most people, the kind that doesn’t show on your face but is seen never the less. It’s just another rainy day.
This Advertising Life: Change of Plans
So much for resigning. Actually, it has been a few months since i said that and yet I’m still here. I’m probably a masochist for staying but i’m having fun which made this past few months bearable. It has been tremulous to say the least.
Being surrounded by so much talent is humbling and depressing at the same time. Its just one of those moments when all this time, you think you’re really good at something but a few people show you that what you know is just a drop in the sea of knowledge you need to learn. That there are still books to read, techniques to learn, details to polish.
What really surprised me in the few extra months that i decided to stay in this company was how dedicated people were, especially our little princess of the office, we call her the O.T. Queen because she always stays late to finish something. I’m a pretty laid back person, a type B personality if you’re in to that kind of classification, so I like loafing around and watching youtube videos all day. Brainstorming and research gives me an excuse to just scroll through tombs of articles and papers on a topic. But unlike my lazy ass, people really put in 120% effort to their work, I’m struggling to just give it 50%.
That’s one reason why I want to leave, because I don’t think I’m dedicated enough to work here. And I just can’t magically give it my all because I always see faults in everything, and the moment the systems shows faults, i just fold up. I really like working on stuff if i think it aligns to my personal values, I’m willing to give even 200% of my energy to it. Who knows, maybe It’s just a matter of looking at it from a different view for me or maybe there’s a magical utopian company for me out there. I rather it was the latter.

Laid off due to budget cuts. This is my life now.
Hi, I’m Bryan. And for the past 4 years I’ve been working as a professional copywriter in the ad industry. But after being recruited to work at my latest agency, I was unexpectedly laid off a few months later because of slashed budgets across the board. I was the last one in, so it makes sense that I was the first one out. Now I’m re-exploring what it’s like to be unemployed for the first time since I was 15. This is my life now.
