The Adnostic

Yesterday the brass came in from San Francisco and started letting people go left and right, including myself. I was really shocked. Everyone was. Things seemed to be going great - we had good clients who were requesting a lot of work from our office and even discussing the possibility of a retainer. But business is business and profitability is sometimes hard to come by in the advertising world, and the powers that be decided that management resources would be better handled from the San Francisco office, and I was just a little fat that could be trimmed along the way. It happens.

I'm sad about it because I really liked working there. The office had a real camaraderie and my supervisors were very nice and unusually concerned with increasing and strengthening my skill set. I am also disappointed because there was still so much I could have learned from working there. Now I have to go back into the wilds armed only with what I learned in the past 4 1/2 months. Not that that isn't a lot, but it could have been much more.

So, I'm looking again. If anyone out there is looking for someone to do market research and strategic planning on a full time or temporary basis, email me. I'll have my resume updated and posted soon.
