its friday and its almost 11pm and i'm still here in front of my desk full of cluttered papers...project lists...strat plan...among others...while my laptop is tucked in my bag with some documents to finish this weekend...don't get me wrong i'm not complaining...actually i am totally and madly in love with what i am doing!
___________
i never thought that i would fit in advertising... i have always thought that i will be an economist!...it never occurred to me that i will be an ad person (oh well...i don't know either how long will i be in this industry)...and i never thought in my wildest dream that i will have this burning passion and dedication with my work!!! when i was still Richard's executive assistant i used to tell my friends who are in the client service department that i will never work on weekends and i will not go home beyond 10pm during weekdays...then when i got what i wished (that is to be part of the client service group)...i work on weekends...experienced working more than 24 hours straight...worked not just beyond 8 hrs but sometimes more than 12 hours...experienced how it is to become my boss' flavor of the month ( every mistake seen...sometimes even if its not really your fault you still get the blame)...get frustrated from unsatisfied clients despite the hard work...but i dont mind at all...may be because i have instilled in me that this is what they called heroic client service...you die for your accounts...
you might be wondering what's there to enjoy in advertising?...well...here they are...you get to know many people...the chance to rub elbows with the celebrities...build the confidence to sell your ideas to the big boss of your accounts...the training of the experts...help build brands...not to mention that you get to see the fruits of your hard work on TV, newpapers and magazines... and hear it on the radio!!! there are so many things to love in advertising...and so many things to look forward to...every day is totally different from yesterday...and tomorrows are always unique than today!
