Well by advertising I mean the people who put that online in your face stuff. I respect people like you who tell the truth about their product obviously :)

I'm seriously about ready to brain myself this week because I can't keep on top of my sociology class. It's the only class threatening my gpa. The massive workload and ambiguity of our assignments is killing me, and if you know a thing about me, you know it's not because I'm slacking off. I'm chapters ahead in the readings, and still I'm struggling to figure out what my prof wants from my while juggling four more classes.

I've had a week off which I have used without a single day's break to work on everything I've been given, I've dropped two days of work to deal with it, and I still feel overwhelmed by what's left to accomplish.

God what do

I'm happy kicking around in cheap clothes that make me look just as nice, same for anything really.




I'm really cheap lol, I just don't see the point in wasting all that money when you could treat yourself to double in another cheaper store.

I am not a ****ing machine. I can't just snap my fingers and things will get done. I need time to finish one project before moving on to the next 20 or so that you've plopped on my desk, and if you want to keep our good name you better be ****ing patient, because I take pride in my work.

Sincerely,

I'm gonna punch the next douchewaffle that unloads their "ASAP" project on me.

One of the worst things about our society. Advertising. When an endless amount of attention seeking **** shoves itself in your face. Like some ****ing box that pops up with a clearly photoshopped image of a woman made to look awful "Before and After"A woman of 54 made herself look like she was 27! WOW! Preying on women's insecurity, real ****ing classy, piece of ****. Like Bill Hicks said, everyone in advertising, should just put a gun to their head and pull the trigger, because they have no soul. Its just the opposite of where modern civilization should be, its all about money, not people, ****ing statistics, where can we fool people into visiting our webiste, where will our adverts(that aren't even adverts, we just need to make them look attractive enough to click on) find naieve people on the internet. ****ing self generated scumbags./RANT

Ouch. I work in advertising and I don't think I deserve to die. I actually think its one of more misunderstood industries out there. In my experience ad agencies are filled with open-minded creative types. If you want to find offices filled with soulless, it's-all-about-the-money a-holes, look no further than sales.
