my coworkers have no idea that they’re all HUGE NERDS. I wouldn’t mind working in the office if they weren’t all SO CRINGE

If there is nothing in life that excites you to the point of nerding out then you are a square

And cringe is judging people just because you’re too afraid to add something to the conversation

I promise if you actually engage with them you’ll find out some might even be into whatever you are into

No reason for you to sit at the lunch table alone all up in your feelings, go make friends 🫶

Everybody's a nerd about something. CRINGE is being too immature to realize that.

We'll said!

Those "NERDS" will be the ones you will be asking to hire you in the future. While you're broke at home, they will be financially stable and running their own business.

Ha, I think I’ll save my dating profile for actual dating apps 😄.

So- we run Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) for our clients display ads in a feed and corresponding google sheet via Google DoubleClick. My q is- does anyone know what systems out there allow for creating a template that will automatically pull a product image from say Target.com and automatically building the ad & copy without manually making 1000 ads via row for row in the google sheet? I know this is possible but curious if Sizmek or Flashtalking are more common in this type of creative development.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
