Signing Off My Blog xxx

Hey guys! First of all, I’d like to say hello and welcome back to my fans.

Thank you for all your support. I couldn’t do this without you guys.

I’ll be completely honest, guys, today’s post on the blog is going to be a bit self-centred.

I know what you’re thinking – I’m possibly one of the most selfless people to have existed in the world ever.  Modest, too. And you’re right. But every now and then, one must look inside themselves and shine a mirror on their soul. Some internal housekeeping.

So, as you know, we’ve been doing these totally scary things called Portfolio scoring or checks or whatever Marc calls it. At first, it was fine because I knew that the whole thing was dogshit. But then the second one, we got one point fewer. Fine, I guess. Sometimes I don’t resonate with people apparently?? Their loss, am I right?

This time was tough. We knew it was coming but we were not prepared. My partner had to go home to Bath the day before, so, unfortunately, we lost some last-minute rush time together.

I had made my bed though, so I had to lie in it. I busted my butt on the Thursday to ideate, execute, scamp, mockup and layout all the campaigns we’d been discussing lately. It was possibly one of the most productive days of my life. Ever. It felt good.

I know we weren’t going to be where we should be but we had to improve. I did not want to get fewer points. Couldn’t happen. It didn’t. A few percent higher.

But as I sat surrounded by my incredibly creative, fabulous, hard-working cohort and listened to them shower each other with praise for the personalities shining through in their books and fantastic brains, I felt really shit.

Not to throw a pity party but SCA can really knock it out of you when you don’t already feel horrific. It’s a funny feeling. Fridays aren’t as bangup as they used to be. They’re exhausting. I had one drink and felt like I was drowning so I went home.

Next time will be better. We’ll be prepared and get the work in early. People will look at our portfolio and say that about us.

Or they won’t.

Either way, I’m gonna take a break from the blog for a few days and sort my life out a bit.

Remember to like and subscribe, lovelies x

P.S. I’m thinking about doing newsletters if you guys ever want me to hear me vent more. Lol. What do you think?

P.S.S. Mum, if you’re reading this, I wanted to say thank you for packing my lunch the other day. Perhaps next time could you put a touch less glass in it. That would be great.
