Has anyone on the bowl switched out of the agency side and explored something that is more settling for the nervous system? I love the work that happens in an agency, but I absolutely cannot regulate myself with the pace of things in agency life. Maybe I'm not built for it, and only realizing now. How different is another reality in advertising? I started off in an agency and don't know what anything else is like.

Chicago agency people, what are your hours?

Curious

Didn’t occur to me until later that it was idiotic to buy at $33 when it started at $2 not very long ago. I sat in losses from 2017 buys until this year so you’d think I’d have learned my lesson lol. That said, i think this project is solid? Worth holding until 2025 if need be?
