I’ve been at an agency just over a year where we have so many silly meetings. We have copywriter meetings for just our account to talk about what we’re working on. We have meetings for all copywriters at the agency. We have meetings for all creatives. Sometimes all on the same day! This drives me crazy—all the talking about the work and no doing. Please save me.

Not to mention- when I brought this to my principals attention he said I might have to take Covid leave. Covid leave only lasts so long- correct? The. What do I do?

Has anyone here bought new build townhouse before? I'm about to close in 2 weeks and the contract states that nothing can delay or stop the closing even if something needs repair.

So my question is, should I just save money and have an house inspector come until 3 months before the year is up?

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
