Does anyone else feel embarassed of being in the ad field when you watch ads on TV? I've been watching wayyy more TV than I usually do over the last two snow days, and jeez, ads are SO intrusive and annoying. I wish I was more proud of what I do :D

I’ve been pre-rolled by my own ads while trying to watch something online, and there is no word for the mix of pride/shame that causes.

I make :60 sec pharma ads with :45 sec of side effects. Pride left the building long ago, but the budgets are better and I've got bills. 🤷‍♀️

Don’t feel embarrassed. It’s an honest living. The younger generations find it intrusive but Gen X and older are used to them. My 83 mother just bought Nervive because of a TV ad and is so excited that it’s giving her relief. So keep on doing good work! Hope this is the shot in the arm you needed. ☺️

Or a corporate quality. The division consumers call to complain they found mold in their product, or they are upset their coupon didn't work at Publix.

Lol. Funny you should mention that. I was just thinking last night how awful some of the commercials are and knowing someone had to literally OK it to be put on air. During a lot of them, its almost like I cam feel myself getting stupider for having just watched it. 🤔😬🤦‍♀️

Rant: my boyfriend is so annoying with this diet! I GET IT. You want to eat healthy! But when you have your friends at our place every other weekend they order pizza and you devour most of 2 boxes! But when I want pizza or wings or burgers I have to hear a whole spiel. “Can we pick something healthier?” “You can order ___ but can I choose something else on the menu?” “I don’t knowwww” like MY GOD. Then if I order something for me he wants half or bites! Sick of it!!!

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
