My CD changes copy he approves to red, not joking. Sometimes red bold. I don’t know what that means. Extra approved.

Sort of. I like to use brighter colors though. It annoys my copywriter more when they have to read ideas in orange or purple

My wife and I are considering planning a trip to Tulum, Mexico for late July. She’s slightly reserved in asking her employer (she works at a dental practice) if it’s okay to take time off with the concern her employer may feel off-put by the request. I personally hate the thought of someone else restricting my ability to make my own decisions, but also want to be contieous of others concerns as well. I feel at some point we all will be in a similar situation - to where we want to go do...

Interested in hearing your guys’ experiences.

One of my really good friends is making me sick. He’s engaged but still really likes this girl. She’s in my city and he says we should all hangout when he visits.

Either way, I’m trying to be a good friend and not say anything discouraging to his face but I find him a little pathetic.
