Back from holidays

Came back from holidays. I really needed them. 33 degrees Celsius, Sun, sea, all inclusive, pool, cocktails ... That is why it's worth working hard. To relax hard ...
And back to work ...

This body was found in kiosk in Kiev. It's funny because you can actually use this dead body as a ball-pen. For an alien encounter movie - check www.kaffeine.com.ua - Last works. 

Kokrica. Where I have learnt to ski.  

Euphoria

The one you get when you get a nice idea for a current project. Euphoria. Happines without reason. After endless brainstormings, several hysterical incidents at the office (where is the toilette paper!?!?!?!) you finally come to a nice solution.
Then art director's supposed to do a nice design. And does it. Euphoria continues. When it's shown to the agency people they all like it.
In two hours we're about to present ideas. Will client like it and pro-long the euphoria? Experience says that client will not like it and we will develop the same boring but colorful ad as we always do.
But there is always a chance of self promotion ... for good ideas ...

Photos make me crazy

At work I usually have problems with different CODECS to show those darn TV commercials to clients. On PC it usually works bad - unless you are an IT freak and are pressing two million buttons and then "quala" - and the clip opens wrongly without sound. On MAC - same problem, just that you can not turn computer off or reset it - batteries have to be removed ...
Anyway, so I have tried to glue a photo of me to "my profile" - for the second time. And thinking - how good that I am not into computers ...

Vacations in the air

Same as the briefs. As if the whole Kiev knows that I plan to go to vacations. ALL clients briefed me for new projects today. And I fly away this Sunday. On one side I hope that where I will be relaxing there is roaming and easy access to internet, while on the other side I guess it would be better to be on a remote island. Me and my wife. Some palms, a lot of servants. Cocktails with umbrellas inside. And no phone, no internet.
Back to work!

I feel like on Friday

But Friday it is not. I have lost track of days. Spending each and everyday in the office. But it is also good - I have this emotions like "thank God is Friday". The discomfort that follows soon after realising that it is actually TUESDAY!!!! is smaller in effect than the good feelings. Mom - I am actually an optimist!
Shit. It really is only Tuesday :(

It's gonna be a crazy day

I found couple of minutes to say that this is another heavy day. Not heavy metal, but full of heavy clients. Not in terms of budgets, but in terms of non-sense comments to my work. All these clients will cry today - when they will see how much it costs - the work I do.
Client service and production day.

My wife has an empty blog

A lot of problems in the world happen because of misunderstaning or lack of information.

This is me, almost 2 years ago  

Inadequate phone calls

Have you ever been on toilette and suddenly - your mobile rings. And you check the number - and it's %#$ important call. What do you do?
I have a solution:
- throw the phone into toilette. No calls are more important than my shit. Or there are any?

But theoretically speaking, I guess that this kind of phone calls are sort of influenced by more subtle waves or something. And practically it looks something like this:
1. you wake up because of someone's mistake (Can I speak with Julija please) at 6.00 in the morning
2. you go to the little room and you have a call from someone you work with that he is sick and will probably take a headache pill. (can I suggest a gun?)
3. you eat and have coffee - another wrong number and someone else from office got period (like I care)
4. you are negotiating with taxi driver and boss calles
5. You are telling the taxi driver where to stop in a busy city and client calls that your assistant didnt pick up the phone for the last 40 minutes
6. at work status meeting and another client calling
7. toilette and a client
8. having a snack - call from office - assitant still didnt show up
9. 10. 11. another work auckward calls happen
12. 13. taxi on the way home - the same as when going to work
14. home, dinner and calling from office that printer doesn't work
15. shower. bath. nice, relaxation - a call from the office that one of designers broke the printer and the other one wants to go home
16. Late night - reading a book. One or two wrong number calls.

The opening of my first blog

"I am so glad to see you all here at the event of opening my first blog.
Please feel free to eat all free food I have bought for this occasion - same with the drinks. But waitreses are not for free. I mean - we paid them for serving the food and the wine.
And now I have to shut up because one of my VIP clients just showed up and I have to go and kiss his ass."

As You can see, life in client service is full of sarcasm. I am glad I don't work in client service. But I do ...
