Anticipation 12.27.2006 | 0 Comment(s)

There's a good possibility I may have a new job in the new year and I'm praying that everything works out. I first met with two guys from an advertising agency in September. The one guy had actually interviewed me a few years earlier and he emailed me earlier this year asking if I was looking for a new job. I figured it couldn't hurt to meet him, so I met with him and his senior art director and things seemed to go well. It was all very non-commital, I think they were just feeling me out, so I didn't think much of it after we parted ways.

2 weeks ago I get an email saying that they may be able to talk about the job a little more seriously now. I think they were waiting for someone to leave the company. I have a meeting at the agency on Friday. I'm not desperate for a change, well, that's not true, I am, but at least I'm currently employed and I don't have to take something just to take it. I can think it through, make sure I'm a right fit for them, and they're going to be good for me. I'm trying to play it cool, but in the back of my head I'm screaming "This has to work!"

I've wanted to get into advertising ever since I graduated so many moons ago. For whatever reason, I never quite got there and I want this chance. It's not the agency of my dreams, but it's a start.

One place I'd love to work is TOKY. Oh my gosh their work is amazing. I'd jump at the chance to learn from the designers there. I just love their style. I don't think they've done one thing that I haven't liked. They have a really neat building on Olive, too, a bit east of Grand.

I've decided that 2007 is the year I'm getting a new job and getting a great BF. It's going to be a good year.
