so far, so good.

im not writing this to kiss anybody’s asses or play with anybody’s balls just because i already know that people in the office do read my blog. im not the ass kissing, ball licking, diplomatic, tactful type. if i am, i’d be bloody rich by now.

i’ll write what i feel and today im feeling rather positive, for a change...

so far, so good.

i don’t need to scamp any goddam fucking thing anymore, i don’t need to be the only one conceptualizing anymore, i don’t need to tell the designers what fonts or colours to use, or how to use photoshop anymore, I don’t need to fight with the servicing in terms of layouts and designs anymore, i don’t need to look for pictures on random stock photo libraries for them anymore, i don’t have to shoot boring pictures for visuals anymore ... so that’s all good. i only have to concentrate on copywriting and proofreading. i feel somewhat free.

the new structure is very streamlined and systematic. it’s refreshing. well, fine, i don’t have full control and power anymore.. but at least there’s order. i’d rather have order and somebody to share the load with than full power and control. i don’t do well with power and control. i can’t lead. and i don’t see myself as the leading kind.

at least now with a new, very experienced and capable person in the ad’s chair, i can bounce off a few ideas and concepts and not having the same ideas and concepts bounce back to me. i can talk to him and get feedbacks rather than just nods and okays. it’s like playing doubles in squash. well, i don’t play squash per se but you get the idea lah.

i hope it’ll work out with this new team.
