Ogilvy never liked FT employees

Took me almost two years to come on FT. Some call me persistent, most call me stupid.

Freelancer here 👩🏽‍💻

@O&M - did you take a paycut when you moved FT?

I actually didn't. I was able to use my patience as a boon for keeping a similar if not identical rate. The insurance is also so good in comparison to what my talent agency offered that I literally saw 12 doctors in one week after it kicked in.

Reached 6 months yesterday after finally realizing that if I allowed it to, alcohol could and would destroy my life and take away everything that I love. I was so afraid that I wouldn’t be able to have peace and comfort without it (insanity, right?). The past 6 months have been the happiest I have ever experienced. My everyday moments with my children are more meaningful, I lay next to my wife knowing she is proud of me and I wake up the next morning without shame. Gratitude!
