@A2 none taken. I'm loving and hating it at the same time. Building a brand new functional organization from scratch in a commercial behemoth isn't what I thought I'd signed up for, but here we are, and I'm enjoying it.

I used to care about and chase the opportunity to produce cool/fun/funny work. But, as of the last couple years..it’s just more about stability, keeping working relationships happy, building finances, i.e. it’s just a job. Not about pushing for the most fun creative ideas—I still do that—I just don’t care enough to fight as much if they don’t get it. Definitely still feel genuinely defeated when truly awesome concepts get glossed over by a client who has no clue what they want.
