It’s been done. Paul Cappelli went from McCann CCO in the late 1980s - early 1990s to running an olive farm in Italy with his husband Steven Crutchfield. A reminder that success isn’t just about work — it’s about having the guts to reinvent your life. Sadly, he passed away in 2020 after a brief illness. Further evidence that life is short. Make it count.

Me please!!

Think about this every day. This country is cooked.

If you think advertising is tough…try farming.

I have friends that have back office positions but never received an offer letter & their company still doesn’t use them now. Has anyone given notice & started a new position without an offer letter? Do international companies provide something else in lieu of a formal offer letter? I know offer letters aren’t legally binding anyhow, but seems they’d provide something. (International = Canada)

Open forum where anything relating to data & its applications would be fair game. E.g.:

-relevant memes
-scientific article
-data news
-what you'd like to see data driven but isn't

I’ve given a detailed summary of all of my expenses yet every month one family member in particular comes to me for rent money (not some, the full amount, and they refuse to get a job). It has become quite the burden.

What’s something a guy has said in a meeting you could never pull off as a woman? I’ll go.

CDs in the meeting laughed and considered it for a minute. If I had presented that and said I was being lazy, I would prob be put on the chopping block.
