Working in advertising agency is one of the bless in my life. I can never imagined myself working at client side or a financial institution like banking for instance. But in advertising, I can say ... it suits me very well.
In advertising agency, I can surf the net for a reason of looking for references or most of the times without reasons at all. I do not work alone because I have my art director partner to work with, I can bang my ear (and people around) with large speakers, I can wear t-shirt and jeans, some people even wear shorts, I meet new people everyday, doing different things for different brands, and do you know what? ... I sometimes work under my desk :) Despite of all the deadlines and sometimes cranky and moody colleagues, ... I love working in this industry.
A friend of mine said that people who work in advertising are sadomasochist. I laughed at that time. Now, ... well maybe they are. Only sadomasochist who do something they know it hurts but they do it again and again nevertheless. To add with, only those who are egocentrics who never tired in chasing their own self. Being part of the creative department, I think I got them both. Why? Simply because I am having fun with what I am doing. I know I got bored easily, and these are what we did. We don't work. We play (and got paid).
