FateLaughsYou are on the archive wiki. The new wiki is here. Now, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against being gainfully employed, but since starting at Grey Worldwide I've gotten two phonecalls for interviews now, from Ogilvy & Mather and Network BBDO. They're two big glory boys of the industry, the places you want to work. And I'm already employed. Ug. The awful timing. Touchwood I won't live to regret it massively (not that I think I really warrent the attention). Otherwise, I discovered www.nationstates.net, which for someone as socio-politically minded as me is much fun, if possibly not long term fun. Other net games include http://www.stickcricket.com with is incredibly hard (wait for the spinners). I have a second bitching subject, over november, december and two rushed days in january I did some freelance stuff for a real estate agent. Sell a mountain. Sounded like well paying fun. Problem being, after they procrastinated all through december, they needed their money urgently. So I had to come in and work nonstop for three days. Fine cool. My fee went up and I wasn't really doing anything else at the time. Except them they get their money, and I don't get mine. Until well after pay day (yesterday infact) at which point my debt was at such a point that men with baseball bats were in the offing. Then, instead of actually paying into a place where I could use it, they give me a third of it in cash, the rest nowhere to be seen. insert expletive here? Oh well, snooty phonecalls are on their way. Real Estate Agents are the devil, by the by. It's sales for homemakers. They're so maddeningly self smug and have no idea about what they're talking about. What's more, the ad (which was quite good) was blatently copied by another real estate agent in the next months publication. Oh the fun.

More and more I'm inclined to think that the client is always an idiot. Anyway, you can have them blacklisted, or there's the CCMA of course. Which ad was yours, btw? Comment: Re: itwouldbenicetoknowthattitlesareREQUIREDbeforeisubmitanditwipesouteverythingityped (by AndieMoore? on 2005-02-02 15:11:24)Twas a full page thing in The Property Guide, ad for Rustig. It was the ugly mustard yellow thing next to an article about Errr... some government minister or other. First Mountain. Comment: Mister Moore (by cypher? on 2005-02-15 19:23:33)Now that you have a high paying executive job, have you abandoned your ambitions to write a forgotten realms best-seller about the god of chaos and destruction...? Comment: Re: Mister Moore (by AndieMoore? on 2005-02-15 20:53:39)Pffft. I've just downgraded it to being a bad fantasy best-seller. |
