Ok, so I was an idiot growing up. (This is a confession bowl after all). Said stupid things. Did even stupider things. Socially awkward. Lacked tact. Lacked judgement. Had little restraint to my behavior. But I became less of an idiot over time. Partly because of the one good thing about getting old- wisdom. But I also like to think advertising may have helped me progress. Exposure. Exposure to ideas, smart people, sometimes nicer people, culture. Did advertising change you in any positive ways?

Starting to think about making the switch from agency to brand side. Any tips from strategists who have already made the jump? And is there a level at which it makes the most sense (i.e. should I wait until I make Director and then make the switch, or does it not really matter)?

I’m maxing out my 401K, traditional IRA and HSA this year and paying for some house improvements. I have about $750K total investments and very close to $2M net worth, but realize that I am behind on investments if I want to do FIRE. I was focused on paying off huge chunks of my mortgage and managed to whittle it down to $75K left. Would you suggest I go ahead and pay that off this year? Or pause and do a mega back door roth instead? I’m mid 40s. Thanks!

I’m a Senior Project Manager at an engineering consulting firm - I don’t have my PE as of yet and my compensation is $100k + bonus.

"This program needs more proper documentation!"

In front of folks who don't understand code, you think you look smart. In front of those who know code - you're an idiot covering your incompetency.

Wow hate the overuse of “from a ______ perspective"

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

It's freezing tonight bitter cold. I just ordered Chinese and I'm not sure if that was a shitty thing to do. I think they need to make money so if no one calls that wouldn't be good. I did tip well

The mornings are when I’m most productive and it never fails.. my one friend/coworker comes over to talk to me about meaningless BS every time i start getting momentum. Nice guy.. but leave me alone.

It makes me intensely uncomfortable when I hear people who should know better misusing the word “myself.” As in “please cc Kate and myself on your email.”

HELP! Does everyone really hate their jobs? Or are you utilizing an anonymous sounding board? Came to learn about Ad, shocked at the amount of dissatisfaction :/ What should I know going in?

I like to think of myself as calm but really I’m just dead inside.

I was late to an interview.

I’m type A, never late, certainly not to an interview. I called & sent an email as soon as I knew I would be delayed. They had me come in anyway. Am I totally screwed?

Getting sober has made me realize how bad my boss really is.

I am stupidly rejecting recruiters with legit offers because I am waiting for The One. The offer to end all offers. But they are taking entirely too long to notify me. They keep telling me to hold on.

I just want to go home and eat cheese.

I just applied to DDB and I forgot to include a cover letter. But I did include my portfolio, resume, and references.

I have a coworker who’s a functional alcoholic. I’ve never dealt with a situation like this before so I don’t even know if it’s my place to say something

I ordered dinner with wine at the airport. They brought me two glasses. Said it was my lucky day.

I deserved it anyway

First day back after a 10-day beach stint. Putting on pants was hard enough.

I’m 30. My friends’ weddings are piling up and I’m just... still very much single. Feel like it’s acceptable in NYC but also sorta depressing. Dating is hard.

On vacation and hallucinating the Slack ping sound anytime it gets quiet.

Mr. Manager is posting again y'all 🤡

Since disconnecting with past stories my reality has drastically bent. My stories programmed my reality, attracting what I told myself I was/wasn't.
