gapingvoid: "cartoons drawn on the back of business cards"

onward, slush warriors

I was originally going to write something about the "Death of Advertising" etc etc.

You know what? I can't be bothered. Seriously.

But hey, if that slushpile of an industry still works for you, then I'm happy for you. Just please, don't expect the pile to get any less slushy in future. The non-slush days are over.

And please don't think you are offering your clients value for money. That's not your job. Your job is to justify insane expenditure whenever possible. Luckily most of your clients are spending company money, not their own money. It's not like it's real to them or anything. It's the slushpile after all, nothing is supposed to be real.

All you can do is hope that your clients don't lose their fondness for slush. They probably won't, at least for now. They have their own corporate slushpiles to frolic with. You can go out for fancy dinners at company's expense, and spend your time comparing slush notes.

So yeah, there's happily still plenty of money to be made slushing around for a while yet. So have fun with it. Impress the girls with your valiant tales of slush. Slush is good. Slush is your friend. Slush is what will sustain you and your dreams from here on end.

Onward, Slush Warriors.
