Just leaving this here: Gaga set such a high bar...

May I know why are we not allowed to eat in shuttle? I was stopped by security guard cz I was eating ... I was hungry,packed up my food,running out of coding work . .. Strange !!

Is there a scientific reason why we get songs stuck in our heads? How come we don’t really experience this kind of thing with our other senses?

Do you read multiple books at once? Power through one at a time? Do you set a page or chapter daily/weekly goal? Only do audiobooks? Please share your reading habits so we 🐟 can borrow/steal like artists 🎨.

For me, I set 20-30 pg min/night and listen to a different audiobook to/from work. The audiobook thing is new as I've never read >1 at once. Considering 1 chapter/night w/ 3 different books (3 ch/night)... I just want to read them all though not sure - may muddle if one > others.

What are some of your favorite historical fiction books you've incorporated into your lessons? I love The Book Thief!

How do you guys keep garlic fresh? Best practices please. Preferably one that doesn’t let the garlic sprout too fast.

Anyone have any good Italian restaurants? Used to go to merlo on maple but they closed years ago 😞

Curious to know has anyone stumbled upon a bar(cocktails, drinks) that has also nailed social accounts so good so that besides their bar offerings people also cant wait to consume their content?

New to Toronto, moved to the west end of town/ just past - in Etobicoke. I celebrate my 40th a few days after NYE/NYD - would love some recommendations on moderately priced but nice ambiance restaurants for myself + husband, and my extended family. Everyone is scattered throughout (Hamilton, Barrie, Lyle, Newmarket, North York). Don’t want anything too fancy but don’t really know where or what is good and not downtown.


Any recommendations? (Open to GTA of course).

Anyone listening to any Bachelor related podcasts? Anyone else annoyed with Kay from the Betchelor?

What's your favorite red wine?

What's a nice restaurant to take relatives to when they're in the city visiting? Would like something nice but not over-the-top fancy.

Anybody do Getaround or Turo on the side? If so, what has your experience been?

Please tell us, since COVID started:

-weirdest thing you've eaten
-weirdest thing you've watched
-weidest thought you've had.

Worst overused word in advertising - go!

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Has anyone taken the CAIA ? Any tips ?

I’ve been told my company is changing my title from Associate Director of BD to Sales Executive. I’m concerned it reads like a title demotion. Is it just semantics? How will this look for my career development? Curious about the standard perception of Sales Executive from a seniority perspective. Where does this land on the sales roles hierarchy? For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.

Thoughts on Viibryd? Im on my 4th week and I feel like it’s affecting my cognition. I’m finding it difficult connecting the dots as I carry out my job and it’s getting me worried.

Anyone noticed that with aerobic / cardio exercises it gets more difficult to focus? It is like my mind a TV and someone else gets the remote and goes through every channel every 30 seconds or so

How long is the interview process at CBA? How many rounds of interview for senior poaitions like senior technology businee analyst or Product Owner?
Any feedback on work culture

@CBA

As a first time PM at a company with no PM structure, I’m finding it difficult to learn good practices and bring myself to “the next level”. Has anyone here had a similar self taught start that made the break through to become a solid senior PM? Anything will help, books, etc.

As an experienced, SHRM certified HRBP , I would just like some feedback on your opinion of the differences in the roles between an HRBP an HR Manager besides the obvious that the manager should have direct reports. I am an HRBP and work in step with 3 HRM’s. They all 3 just got out of cycle raises of between 5-20% 😳 and I received nothing. I am quite aware of our HR code that salary is confidential but I was told about this. Would you be looking for other employment? Or stay?

Got a GRE score of 320 (162V 158Q). Did my masters from A&M (full scholarship, 3.8 GPA, journal publications. Have been working as a consultant for a small tech consulting firm for the past 1 year and was considering a MBA + Law or Public Policy masters dual degree program. My scores are still valid for atleast 1 year. Aiming for M7 or Oxbridge in Europe. Would using this GRE score be realistic for the school given I've just 1 YOE and my quant was lower. I'm an ORM International student fyi

How much UBS offers for 8+ years of exp. With counter offer of 23lpa. Kindly help.

Macro tracking & body building experts - what should my macros & calorie count be if I want to lost 10-15 lbs? I'm 142 (due to stress and hormonal changes).

I want to get down to 128lbs.

My scale's app says my BMI is 25.3 - just hitting into the overweight bar & 19.8% fat.

Used to be around 23 BMI and 18% fat pre-pandemic in 2019.

I tried the macro calculators but I'm getting mixed guidance

Hi. I got selected as a consultant in Global business services role (SA&MA) in DI. Can someone throw some light on this practice as what it does? Will the clients be India based or overseas?

With today's flight, I pass 200k MQMs for the year. Interesting how life works itself out.

Waking up feeling impending doom and dread due to work. Anyone else feel the same now?

How does everyone manage SAD during the winters. Feeling so down and not sure what are the best ways to cope.

Anyone have a good therapist in MA?

For publicis companies, what is the last day included in an end of month check? Asking as a freelancer.

Best - Jeep/Rocket Mortgage (Mamoa)
Worst - Olay/ Michelob Missed OP - Coke Energy (really odd)

Google spot just killed me 😢

We’ve all said “I wish I’d done that ad.” Which SB ad do you wish was your idea?

The only qualifier to becoming an industry legend should be whether or not you’ve worked with Sam Elliot. Nay, his mustache. Prove me wrong.

I’m beginning to think all the 2020 SB briefs started with... “we need a big personality to represent our brand.” Since when is celebrity a substitute for concept?🤔

Groundhog Day wins it for me. Perfect cultural reference to fit the message and a lovely execution.

Thank you all for the Super Bowl Bowl!

Eh. I’ve seen that Kia ad many times before. Plus trying to connect it to auto seemed pretty forced 🤷🏻‍♀️

Was anyone else expecting the Tide 'later' guy to show-up in the P&G ad? Missed opportunity? Or too expected?

That snickers commercial was amazing so far my fav. We should feed the world a snickers

New York Life. Beautiful.

Gary Vee took credit for that baby nut commercial on Twitter. Love me some Gary Vee but not so much Baby Nut.

TurboTax, fun, I am feeling it

Seems like “the button” is back as an advertising device. Been absent for a while but coming back in force this year.

On another time, a younger me would have loved the Porsche Heist ad. Now, however, the concept just feels dated (and a bit lite for Porsche). Fun to shoot tho. Am I the only one?

I hate ketchup but somehow that Heinz ad is my favorite so far.

I’m already sick of Joe Buck.

thanks to all the CCOs & ECDs for putting up with our shit and sarcasm - we wouldnt have been posting if it wasnt for you posting openly ✌️

CELEBRITIES ARE NOT A CONCEPT

Smarht Parhk? Nice .
