Is it completely asinine to keep my silver pencils on my desk at work? I don’t have cool things like other people do and am horrible at decorating.

If you’ve got a couple, awesome. Any more than that and it goes past “I’m proud of my accomplishments” and into “I’m an insecure tool.” I saw one team actually boot a couple of junior writers out of their desks so that the two of them could display all of their trophies next to their office door.

Congratulations! I won double digits of them and I never had a single one on my desk. I’d feel embarrassed but the first one is a special one I guess. Did the agency get you one?

It’s two of them and they’re from the young ones one show, not the pro level one show. So no, not from work at my agency.

Were the pencils from projects you did with the agency?

You have a dedicated desk? Wow.

At a dead end and don't know what to do besides stop! I've been job searching everyday, some days several hours for 8 months straight.

I really want to give up and just sit and hope for a miracle at this point. Can anyone relate? How are you keeping faith? Any tips or tricks?
