I remember the first time I saw some work I had been involved in running; a press ad for a Beazer Homes. Yes, we all have to start somewhere, but I got a real thrill at seeing it in a real newspaper. That thrill has never totally gone away. Seeing ghd outdoor driving home yesterday was really nice.
But it’s the journey that matters. Like finishing a really good book, there’s always a sense of loss when you finish a project, even when there’s been hideous moments, fall outs, stresses and stuff, I think it’s the hard work getting is where the fun is.
The stress when everything’s a mess, you can’t think straight anf your head will explode makes that sudden moment of clarity so sweet.
The 3am finish before a pitch makes the moment you know it’s going well in the meeting so much better.
It’s not as easy game to be in, you never know what’s hiding around the corner to crash into your carefully laid plans. But that’s what makes it so special.
It also means that if you’re in it because you think it’s cool, you won’t last. But if you truly care about your work, and THE work, you can’t help but enjoy it.
It’s feeling quite stressful at the moment. A million things are swirling around, I’m not quite sure what the end will be, the connections are not there yet. And that my friends, is what planning such a truly brilliant job.
