Week Done

It's the end of a very strenuous week. Nathaneal's back with us and Mish is getting him ready for bed. Her bout with the flu is done and she's back in the pink of health. Megan is also nearly fully recovered. What a week.

Workwise, we were ready to give up Flamingo. After a round of negotiations, they apologized for their actions and I hope that's the end of that. I hate it when clients sneak around behind our backs.

DNP is also back in the fold. After a one and a half year hiatus. Good thing too, cos we definitely need the business. And it seems like an interesting enough project too. I hope they stick to their promise and if we win the pitch, appoint us as their sole agency. Here's keeping my fingers crossed. Actually what I'd really love is for them to keep the interference level down to a bare minimum. And trust us to do our job. Of course there's a fine line between a meddling client and a helpful client I must say. This line can tend to be sometimes quite blurry. Hope we can define this though the coming weeks. Anyway for now, I still think it's going to be interesting. I am quite excited just thinking about the possibilities.

This week, I also learned that sometimes I can be a hindrance when I am the go-between a client and my creative team. Things can get lost in translation. Note to self: where necessary, allow the art team full access to the client. And stay the hell out of the way. Must remind the rest of the servicing guys to do the same. Bottom line, I think I should slowly relinquish my hold of everything and eventually just strengthen my role as chief creative. And I really don't think I can cope much longer with running everything. I just hope all my guys can have a bit of a growth spurt right about now.

For now, I'll just sleep on it. And maybe dream of the beef pie I'll be having tomorrow. I just remebered I have yet to marinate the meat. And it's almost 12.30 am. Time to pack it up and call if a week. A long and strenuous week. Good night.
