My job is mostly working at getting advertisers to stop procrastinating before the ad deadline. Late one night I was looking at You Tube ads about yellow pages from international tv spots, and I found "NOT HAPPY, JAN!" It cracks me up every time I see it, and every Aussie I meet knows what I mean when I say it. Here's a link if you don't know what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG9tiaY-2Qo Alice |

The ad made me realize that "stopping procrastination" is really the hardest part of my job. Stopping others' procrastination and stopping my own! Alice |
