My theory on work
Today marked my first full week of being employed. First of all, I feel exceedingly lucky to be getting paid to a) do something within spitting distance of the field I want to be in and 2) not cut up animals with a chainsaw.
I had dinner tonight with three friends from my honors business class, [...]

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about value. And not just getting more bang for your food buck at happy hour.
Everything in advertising and marketing needs a purpose. In an ideal world, every dollar spent of client money would translate into more than a dollar in return. Call it ROI or just good business, but [...]

She’s bound to ask for more.
After two days of bed ridden sickness, I was ready to get back to work and back to the romp and fantasm of Portland. I traisped into work 20 minutes late (thanks a lot, Streetcar, for not running late when I’M running late) to find both my supervisors on early [...]

Sorry it’s jerky, not sure why the internet all of a sudden hates Photo Booth [...]

Not so humble advice
It’s a cardinal sin to call oneself an expert (see prior blog post) without being named as such by someone else. But I’m willing to bet my mom would call me an expert on sloughing it through college, so here’s my expert advice to anyone trying to make it through the drunked cesspool of higher [...]

I am not an expert
Even after a year of researching generational conflict, including countless articles, literally hundreds of books, and thousands of quippy comments from personal interviews, I will openly and whole-heartedly admit that I am no generational expert.
Why? Because that would imply that a) I’m just a little bit full of myself and 2) that I can offer [...]

I’ve heard from several reliable sources this week that advertising is one thing:
Coming from a business background (if we can really call an undergraduate education a background worth coming from) I’m reveling in seeing things from an artist’s viewpoint. In the UO Journalism School, there’s a huge emphasis on everyone being a “creative strategist” first, [...]
