i think im pushed to start hunting for another job now. the creative team was called to a meeting this morning. too early for that kinda meeting i’d say. the kinda meeting that screws up your whole day. im talking about the “buck up or get the fuck out” meeting. those who are yet to be confirmed can might as well assume that their conformation letter is as material as halloween apparitions. they’re already starting to look for replacements even when nobody has left.
im kinda sortta maybe assuming that im on the ‘possibly replaced’ list. between me and the other copywriters, i suck, i know. my grammar’s all over the place. my eloquence is close to shitty. my ideas have all been used before – about 20 years ago. my choice of words is pretty predictable, not that outstanding, borderline atrocious. man, i gotta start learning english again.
no matter how late we work, or how many weekends with the boyfriend / girlfriends / family / friends / pets / ho / toyboy we’ve missed.. nothing we do is or will ever be good enough. how can we buck up when the clients are predictably fickle minded, and some of the servicing people are slowass dumbfucks.
yes yoke, times like these, recruitment advertising would really make me happy. its practically a vacation. its an environ where there is an actual system, and it really does work because everybody abides by it. its where i have the control of the ins and outs of the jobs. its where nobody works past 6 or during the weekends. its where clients understand the urgency of the job, but its kinda hard when they're nagging for it after only 20 mins of faxing in their requirements. its where there is no need of a fucking strategy. its where i get to see my ads in the papers every saturday, for sure, even if its only in the recruitment pullouts - my work is still my work and im damn proud of it no matter how corny the headline sounds. its where i know who to pinpoint faults at when somebody fucks up. its where i am the writer, the traffic, the servicing, the art director, the dtp, the everything. but most importantly, its where i don’t have to go out and meet clients.
its like being in a safe comfort of the cave where i just wait for the men to bring home a piece of mammoth meat so that i can cut it into perfect little bite size pieces and tell people to cook it up and then i get the first taste of a good cave-cooked meal, before i send it out to the hunters and the clients. i wish i was back to my neanderthallic times.
know any good recruitment ad agencies?

ra advertising specializes in recruitment ads. they were looking for a writer a few months back. pick up MAD and try your luck.
cool. thanks man.
simon's such a nice boy, isn't he? :-)
i see your point now about not wanting to be in mainstream. i'll keep an eye for you if there's anyone looking for recruitment writers, ok?
yeah, thanks simon, whoever's son you are.
and thanks yoke, for finally seeing my point. i know you'd understand. you've worked with these wankers before.
