Also... how disturbing is this ad??
It's kinda freaking me out. I thought I'd share it. It's from a campaign from Germany. Today I have been working on print ads, which isn't nearly as fun as TV ads. Print ads can't tell a story in the same way, no matter how hard they may try. Unfortunately, I have a TON of print ads to work on, so maybe they'll grow on me over the next few days. I am also starting to work on revising some case studies, which will give me a taste of strategic planning. Hooray for work experience.
I started feeling lonely at work today. No one talks like me, and my own voice is starting to sound funny. It so blatantly marks me as an outsider. And since I'm the only one who has an accent, I feel like a foreigner. I mean, I clearly am a foreigner, but in an office setting, I feel like a "What are you doing here?" foreigner. No one is treating me badly or anything, but the fact that I work alone gives me a lot of space to think.
I think I started to feel lonely today around lunchtime. I have no one to eat lunch with, so I ended up just staying at my desk (there's no designated lunch room here, and I felt weird bringing food to the ground floor cafe and sitting at a table by myself). But a new intern starts next week; I hope we get along so I have a lunch buddy. I also hope she has an accent - ANY accent - to relieve some of the potency of mine a bit.
One and a half hours left, and over 50 case studies to get to. I'm also only on the "Ds" for print ads. Back to it for now, more later. Send me some love.
