Lemonade Is Refreshing

I didn’t even want to watch it. But I have to write something for this blog no one looks at, in the hopes of getting noticed by certain algorithms tracking frequency… Oh the futility. On that note, I decided to throw in the towel and watch a documentary about advertising folk who’ve been laid off. The catch is, they’re now doing things they love. Kind of a kick in the nuts for someone trying to get into the biz, but I’ve got uppers and a blog to write.

Turns out, it was uplifting. Plus some good advice. “It’s better to be doing something interesting than looking for a job.” Umm yeah. Only MTV Teen Cribs is more depressing than having all the places you wanna work not want you. So new plan: I’ll find my own clients. When wallets are tight companies need to attract consumers in easy, cheap ways – skills I’m familiar with. I never thought they’d help professionally, but it’s a whole new world. A wondrous place, for you and me.
