Laying Down With Dogs

The terrible thing about working until hella late on a Friday is that it sucks. Primarily. A person finds themselves at their desk and reviewing incoming texts. Answering each one "no, sorry." and "no, wrkn :(" with the sad face emoticon and everything. A person finds themselves saying they can't do things they would normally love to do, like go to the awesome reggae show at the Fox theater.

But whatever.

The best thing about working until hella late on a Friday is going to Zeke's afterwards, on a fluke. Which is totally trashy, but also where you will find some of the coolest people you work with.

I showed up at 10 and it was all dudes and they were on their 11th pitcher of beer and I was like. Whoah. But also? Really happy, this unguarded and creative masculine space. So professional and portfolio-worthy.

And yet. True.

In advertising, we look for those things. We're eating up your moments of truth like they are popcorn. We kind of own them.

And so it wasn't so bad after all cause bunny got to get shit done and then have drinks with all of these boys.

And oh. These boys. The talent at my job goes on forever.

I organize these meetings sometimes that I call COME TO JESUS meetings. The only point of them is that everyone walks away with a common goal. A shared vision. We all need to be converts, we all need to believe in the shit we are doing and selling.

That is the only way to get a collaborative thing done.

Without shared definitions, I wonder where we would be?

Good morning. Those parts hold true and this part was limited edition.

Some things are fit for only whispering to drunks, insomniacs and people in other time zones. Those are treasures. Flashes.

I will admit to every single thing I ever feel and do, if the timing is just right.

I woke up at 6 today, nervous about this site we started launching yesterday. Still tired, but not really sad anymore. There's so much else to think about.

I'm gonna see a movie today and later on, my best friend.

Happy Saturday. I get my bunny next weekend.
