• Stress
  
  I can't stress enough about the crazy stress levels in the advertising world. Stress cannot be discounted when it comes to client servicing. There are days when you'd wake up feeling like a fugitive. Why? Because you're always being chased. Chased for this, chased for that. Deadline here, deadline there. Everyday deadline, everyday "kena" chased. Just up from bed and clients are already pounding at your door. Late at night, clients are still chasing you. Clients don't only chase you, they "slap" you also.
  
  They low ball your sense of dignity and throw their own stresses onto you. You become their punching bag of sorts. They pressure you to deliver in unreasonable turn-around time and yet hold long WIP meetings. By the time you get back to office, the day is almost gone. You send in a job request and then with "your" unreasonable deadline, get screwed by the traffic personnel. Depan pun kena, belakang pun kena. No wonder we so often all feel like "bi's". We take shit from the Client and shit from the back-end. Call us "professional janitors."

• Advertising Haven... NOT
  
  This is the beginning of beginnings where the truth behind all the pretty pictures of the advertising world will be unfurled.
  
  No niceties, no candy coating, no holding back, just plain truth...
  
  Look out for it...
