I just took a week+ off from work for PTO. I deleted slack on my phone and didn’t bring my laptop on my trip. It might have been the best thing I’ve ever done for myself and my mental health. I honestly didn’t realize how much I needed this space and time away from work.

If you’re thinking about taking a long vacay… DO IT! You’ve fucking earned it. And honestly, your team will manage without you. It’s just advertising.

I am prior military and went to law school. I had a family to take care of while I was a student, hence I went as fast as possible to get to a paycheck, graduating in 2 years, and bypassing the standard summer clerkships. How could I get some experience strictly remote? I am w-2 working as an accountant in healthcare, have passed the bar and am working on my CPA license (studying starts at 3 am, then work FT). I would like to eventually hang a shingle as a tax lawyer, but need experience. TIA!

Serious question: why work in advertising if you’re not a creative?

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
