Are you sitting down? Glad to know I was when I checked out and saw a post about us at a Creative Director's Blog: Ad-Verb (click at the name of the post to go there). It made my day. I mean, here I am, happy as hell that I sent in my difficult brochure (the client loved it, by the way, woo hoo), waiting to do some laundry (um, I've been wearing dresses to work so I don't have to wash anything, but enough is enough) and... boom. Linked to us there is someone who reads us that is working on the upper levels of advertising.
I am happy as a pig in mud. Welcome, Ad-Verb. We are pleased to see that you are reading us! We were waiting to see if we were going to get lucky and have some management read us, 'cause we are pissed off but I think this blog would help guys or gals like you. Trust me, there is some posts in this blog that we would never, ever say out loud to any CD. Even if we are dead drunk (as we are most of the days).
So, enjoy our rants, hope you like it and even write us back, if you want. I mean, it would be cool to hear from the other side.
Now all we need is a CEO... And we're set.

Will a Head of Digital do? Seriously, digital is the new (insert something establsihed and respected here).
I've been following your rants for a while now and every morning they make me smile. You and Joker have the beginnings of a damn fine book which will be sniggered at on the A train every morning by many of the biz.
My only real quibble though is to ask what kind of men you are actually dating, I mean there are some of us who have learned to tie our own laces and don't have to shout about our conquests. What bars are you hanging out in to meet these idiots?
It will more than do Aaron. To say the least, we're pretty glad that people get to their comps every morning to check what is new with us. We like the fact that people can relate to our everyday BS and I think that the trick is just being passionate about something. I do hope that one day we do get to publish the book and that I can get to see some unsuspecting reader sniggering at something we wrote. Just hope that the person doesn't spill their coffee or spit, although I woudn't mind if it's due to laughter.
In regards to your quibble. Well I'm also dumbfounded everytime I see a good woman going out with a schmuck. It might be bad luck or it might be a classic case of women liking only two types of guys, the ones that are taken, or the wrong guys. Why "Me" hasn't found the right "He", I have no clue, but maybe that's just the way it has to play out until she finds a worthy candidate. Til then, transatlantic cheers to all adverts in arms. Who knows, maybe in a 5 year anniversary we'll make a get together in a dirty Irish bar that only serves good cold beer and stale pretzels.
For now though, kind regards and extreme appreciation for the kind words.

Ps. See? I knew I could get through a comment or blog without saying fuck.... ah DAMNITTTTTTT.. oh well.
Ciao
Hey there Aaron. Well, my love life is a mystery, even to me. But my classic problem is dating men with issues - hence Hannibal as my dream date. But I'm working on it, trust me.
The funny thing is? I don't meet men in bars. Ever. They actually pop up wherever I go!!!
