I'm a Glorified Coffee-Maker!

In what fucked up world do I get paid more to make coffee for clients and agency partners than I get paid to run and manage a vital role of a company department?! This one, my friend. This one!

The current problem I’m having is (seems to be) that I actually have a desire to do what these mother-fuckers are doing; however, I’m forced to stand on the sidelines and put in my time before moving on to a more glamorous role. I attempted to enter this industry once before through the front door, but I’ve been forced to sneak in through the back instead.

It seems just a tad bit fucked up that there is a whole position (and department) dedicated to making sure that people are adequately equipped to do whatever they want to do at the office when they aren’t actually working. But in advertising, everything can be considered work.

"I’m playing fooseball to release the ideas that have been bombarded and masked by information overload."

"I’m walking around the office visiting all 250 plus people in the agency to get ideas for this project I’ve just undertaken."

Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. But it’s glamorous, and I feel the need to be as well!
