I need some brutal honesty, so bring it on y’all.
My name is so common so I had to come up with something that wasn’t already taken when making an email during college and ended up with cindyflippinworks@gmail.com
Now I’m a year and a half into my career and people either laugh at it or hate it...should I change it?

Mentor
I resigned right when I was going on a shoot, and I stayed and did the shoot because I knew the work best, and knew the client and agency would appreciate that continuity. I told the new employer I needed to finish that shoot and would join them in four weeks. I told my current employer I would stay for the shoot and they had a four week notice. As a CD,
four weeks is appropriate. Everyone appreciated it, I did the shoot, and left professionally.
This is a small industry, and you have to think past whether or not you think the work is “meh” and what is the right and professional thing to do. It reflects on you as a professional, and people will remember that you acted with integrity.

You will be remembered for being a stand up person with integrity and professionalism. You’ll be amazed how far that will go.
The agency world is actually a small one. People change jobs/agencies all the time. The trick is to not burn bridges along the way as you will most likely run into some of these people in the future. Be professional and attend your shoot.
I'm looking...message me if I can through my hat in the mix?
Spelling?
Give them both options.
They might appreciate you seeing the project through … or they might be happy you’re leaving and will get someone better to attend the shoot.
You produce meh work and aren’t concerned with making it as good as you can, so they’ll probably be pretty cool with you leaving.
Part of being mature in this job is realizing what is meh and what is not. Nothing wrong with that.
I resigned right after the shoot, didn’t feel bad
