As of today, I’ve put in my 20 years. That’s 240 months in marketing communications and at least four different careers. From marketing assistant to copywriter to creative director to information architect to SEO guy to user experience designer to content strategist. This particular anniversary has been weighing on me. It’s not the number of years—they’ve been spent well. Each has given to the next, even if it’s not always obvious (or pleasant). Nope, what’s bugging me is that I feel I should have a profound, 10,000-word blog post at the ready. And I don’t. Because my brain keeps getting in the way.
Oh, and the mean friend of a Facebook friend that once publicly disagreed with me and corrected my grammar about six years ago. Well screw that. I’ve got a bunch of good thoughts floating around up there and I’m gonna plop ‘em on this blog as they come to me, starting with: Give a shit because not enough of us do. Work hard and take pride in what you do, not how much you get paid to do it. Be OK with failure even when it’s public. And know, without a doubt, that luck favors the prepared.
