aw

This city is kind of big sometimes, but it is also kind of small. I ran into Tom in the subway tonight. A hug happened. Hi Tom!

Danielli will always be my girl crush

But it's happened...I think hell may have frozen over.
Don asked and I said yes.
I guess it's pretty serious then.

Freelance Planning: Is it even possible???

(yep, that's me, in Samoa)
I'm lookin' for a little advice here. I know that the agency where I work desperately needs strategic planning, but is very stingy and, thus far, unwilling to implement it with any real commitment. There are a variety of other things that make me question the agency I'm at, but this is the big one. I've been able to dabble in planning whenever I possibly can, but the opportunities are few and far between because I'm so busy doing account management day-to-day tasks. I'm stressed all day and am not enjoying it. All I can think about is our first class 1st year - Stacy Thomas' enthusiasm for this job we get to do each day.

So let me know what you guys think about the idea of freelancing in a town that has little planning even within their agencies, much less hiring a freelancer outide the agency. There's a bit of an argument to make for agencies getting a taste of planning by hiring freelancers without having to hire full-time.

Kate meet yourself in a 15 years...

This is Anna. She is the Media Director here at Venables. She is easily one of the most awesome people I have ever met (for Christmas, she gave the media dept.-all two of us- a book to the best dive bars in San Francisco. She demands that we hit all of them by the end of 2007). She worked for the U.N., and has lived all over the world. But the most striking thing is-she is KATE. even her mannerisms. If you two ever meet, the world is gonna explode.

I think I told you about this, but when Alison met her at the Christmas party, she made sure I grabbed a picture.
