I never worked under him but I was at Arnold when Roger was there, I remember him being a really nice guy.

Great piece. I think I’d still choose white collar. I’ve done ‘blue collar’ work too and while it’s mentally healthier, having money cures a lot of ills in your life.

Great read, thanks for sharing.

I’ve had these same thoughts over the years. Work that begins and ends in a regular rhythm, to be able to plan other parts of my life around sounds so appealing, so much less stressful, so much more healthy mentally and physically.

Why does advertising work have to be this way. The industry as a whole could change it, starting with leadership that prioritizes healthy workers.

Healthier, happier workers are a boon on its own for better work quality and productivity. And the savings in healthcare…

But we’re America, and just HAVE TO do everything gawdang stoopider than everyone else…especially in Advertising.

I’m doing my first UX portfolio on Wix. I have the case studies content drafted out, but I’m struggling with brainstorming wireframes/actual UI for my case studies. I make it a rule to look for dribbble/behance for inspo but only sketch when im not looking at things because I don’t want to copy directly.

I’ve tried using paper/thin markers highlighters, tried using procreate, and also illustrator/photoshop & a tablet. I keep running into issues where I feel overwhelmed. How do I simplify this?

I work in a firm that is known for litigation defense. I’ve been developing my own plaintiffs practice as well. I am able to pay the bills with my hourly defense work, which gives me time to focus on a handful of high value PI case a year on contingency. I was recently negotiating a case and was told part of the reason the claims rep/OC was jerking me around was because they didn’t see me as a plaintiffs attorney. Is there any way to change this perception or does it just come over time?
