Any recommendations for a small but effective blender? I like making shakes with ice, berries, spinach, dates, cocoa, and milk, but don’t need some massive overpowered turbine.

Based in the US.

Any book recommendations that have really left an impact?

Thanks!looking for a book around Atlanta!

Just finished The Choice by Dr Edith Eger, Holocaust survivor and currently a psychologist. Her amazing approach to life has really turned around my 2020 thinking. It's the most uplifting book I've read all year.

If you haven't read it, highly recommend. If you have, would love to hear your take.

If someone wants to change from help desk work to programming but can't afford pricey schools what language would most beneficial to learn? And do you have recommendations for where/how to learn?

Yeah. So glad you made this fishbowl. I’ve considered leaving this industry in general... i just find it hard to find good ppl. “Bad company corrupts goods morals” (might be butchering).

What is your PTA salary starting out? I’m looking at HHC

Do comment if you have a opening in your organization.

I had my first dental cleaning in two years yesterday. Hygienist tugged at a spot back on my wisdom tooth and out popped a huge piece of tartar. She asked if I wanted to see it and I said no and almost passed out. Don’t skip those dentist appointments my fellow 🐠 .

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Is TRT worth the life commitment?

Anyone going to the White Party in Bangkok this new year

Happy to be here! Politically speaking: I consider myself a Classic Liberal (JFK Liberal: “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”) Constitutional conservative, fiscally moderate, socially liberal.

Does EY Australia sponsor 186 or TRT visa?
If so, do they pay for us?

Process at tiny agencies

Anyone have experience working at a creative shop with no account team? My agency does design, brand and websites so it’s just designers, two devs & a writer (me). I come from a slightly larger, more conventional agency so the lack of structure here confounds me.

For example: we don’t do creative briefs at all. Been here for 1.5 years and things are coming to a head for me. Frustrated with our unclear processes, and I’m not making good work. Do I just need to reframe?

Assuming all candidates are equally motivated/talented and their portfolios are at the exact same level (big assumption, I know but bare with me), which would you say are agencies’ most preferred races/ethnicities to bring in diversity and in which order?

I just saw that the NRA has an ad agency!? Ackerman McQueen. If anyone has worked there or knows someone who has I must hear their story. Because who the fuck would work on this??

What helps you to stay grounded after feeling frustrated with work?

anyone know of places that are working remote who are looking for senior ADs? not seeing much on LinkedIn

What are some hard skills you’ve learned that have helped propel your career and earning potential?

Fresh out of school all I knew was print and static digital design. Over the years I had self taught myself UI/UX, video editing, and 2D motion design. Having these skills in my toolkit has allowed me to move ahead and more than double my salary in 3 short years.

I’ve been stagnating for a while now, but I’ve been eyeing learning Cinema 4D and getting into AR design as my next skill set.

Would love some tips on how to start freelancing. I’ve dabbled in Upwork, wondering if you have any other advice?

How can I be better at helping my CW partner with scripts and to just be more helpful to my partner?

Lately I’ve been feeling like I don’t have good taste on what makes a good spot and what doesn’t, and I’m not feeling as helpful as I’d like to be. I get left out on emails about script feedback and I don’t know if I’m taking it personally, but I just want to do better and feel like I’m achieving as a team. (Cont.)

What do we think of Annex88?

Mentors. Have one? Good to have one? Or doesn’t really make a difference? Is help from seniors at work enough?

Anyone else getting a ton of new followers on working not working recently??

Is it normal for one's creative output to rely on mood? When I'm in a happy, playful, encouraged mood, things seem to flow. But when I start having doubts and burnout, my brain feels numb. Is this normal for a junior?

How many designers out there are required to write blog posts at least once a month? Do you write and edit yourself or do you collaborate in some way with a writer?

Any book or podcast recos for introverts to work on their leadership?
