Quarter Life Crisis

An awesomely brief podcast featuring John January of American Copywriter talking about the "Quarter Life Crisis" that twentysomethings go through when they finish school.

Good stuff.

You're only as old as you feel.

The Table collapses.

With Ben already gone, and Bill having flown the Coop (see what I did there?) the Brotherhood of the Table is officially broken. We didn't get a chance to tag Ben with an electronic tracking device before he left, but we did get Billy.

Follow his zany antics here.

That's all, for now.

Celebration!

You know what's better than simply celebrating a coworkers birthday? Convincing everyone in the office she's 40 (she's not). The perfect touch was when her husband and two kids came into the office with a balloon which read "Happy 40th!". Perfect.

And we get to do it all over again next year.

Very interesting.

This YouTube video is disarming. It illustrates two things that I'm not proud of:

1. Subliminal messaging works, even on advertisers.
2. People who work in advertising are really like those two guys.

Pretty remarkable.

Two flew the coop.

I want to extend congratulations to Billy for landing a job at Furman University. He leaves sometime in May to assume his position. I wish him all the luck in the world. Go Paladins.

Also, lost in the shuffle of a hectic first quarter was Benjamin leaving for Alabama. I don't know if I properly highlighted his hiring by the University of Alabama on the blog, so I'll do it now. Good job Ben. Roll Tide.

It's a little scary to think every member of the table is now gainfully employed in the real world. Good job everyone. We did it, despite our best efforts.

I forsee some vacations in the south.
