while-u-were-out.jpg

– It seems things are so bad at BBDO, employees are stealing from one another.

– Publicis laid off ten percent of its IT staff.

– Element 79 lays off 30, and 20 quit? So goes the rumor. Nothing confirmed. Repeat after me. There is no recession. There is no recession. There is no recession. Positive thinking, people!

– Oh, and JumpStyle? Tweeted about it yesterday. AgencySpy commented. Yes, it’s destined to be the next most copied ad concept.

Nobody tells you that pain doesn’t just change what you feel. It changes what you notice. After real loss, you start seeing grief in strangers’ faces at the grocery store, hearing exhaustion in your friend’s laugh, catching the micro-hesitation before someone says ‘I’m fine.’ Pain gave you a fluency you never asked for and can never unlearn
