let’s dig into this…

I just started to feel demoralized about all of the flexibility in my life and I wanted consistency so that I was waking up for something everyday.

who would even get out of bed if they didn’t have a boss to report to! CRISIS!

here’s the buried lede:

I ended up leaving the agency to join Flashfood because I wanted the structure of a 9-to-5 and the benefits it offered. For example,** I really wanted to start therapy for the first time and I couldn’t afford to do it unless I was getting health benefits. **

It’s easier for me to schedule my personal life into my week rather than with a flexible job.

there it is. the “flexible” job didn’t actually compensate the worker for their time. it also sounds all ad hoc and on-call whatever. like not so much flexible to the employee, but flexible to the employer. maybe this person is more normal than i thought…

I don’t really have an interest in owning a home, period. I’m much more interested in the idea of renting an apartment, being able to move, changing my lifestyle over and over, and traveling all over the world wherever my job takes me. That’s a fun adventure to me.

enjoy the Motel 6 in Winnipeg in January, adventurer. it may not be Bali, but there is probably a medicine ball in the basement gym.

I love stalking people’s career paths, especially on LinkedIn, because I admire the people who are working on top of me.

jesus christ. come on!

My boss, our chief brand officer is a girl named Jordan Schenck — I just think she’s the coolest. She has such a cool repertoire and a very cool résumé. I feel really excited about working in a job that could land me in Jordan’s seat one day. It gives me something to base all of my efforts and aspirations on.

oh come on, get the eff out of my face.
