Today, a former workmate of mine, who moved on to bigger and better things, emailed me to tell me she had just had lunch with the national sales manager of TV Station...and he had some interesting things to say about me, and Runner.
I immediately thought to myself, oh fuck, did i mess with one of his accounts? Does he even notice me?
Well, apparently he takes good note of what us AE's alllll do on the local side.
Among things he said:
"Did you hear Will pulled in and closed money from Subway? We NEVER have been bought by Subway."
"Without those two [will and runner] i don't know where this station would be"
I was pretty stoked to hear that from a semi outside source, because my managers fucking had the audacity to say "Will you only got 2.5% of subway's money? next quarter get more"
That is the story of our station...and all sales...nothing is ever enough.
I called in sick today, due to soar throat, a freelance job that will pay my a couple hundred bucks to do something i enjoy, and i got to get my shit together.
Last note. One my future job endeavors...I JUST received and email from a dude at Goodby...he loved my cover letter, and he wants to see my work!!!! I am scared, because i am not to fond of my work...and reluctant to send my website his way because they are the most elite, creative ad agency in the world!!!
Wish me luck.

Will Loman is alive and well
I apologize for the long hiatus. The holidays came, they have gone. Now, I have lots to catch up on....
1) I renegotiated my contract for the next 3 months, and lets just keep it short, and they made it so starting in February, I will be getting at least $5 in a commission check. Whoa. Stop the press. That makes my financial whoas all better. Not.
2) The saga/hilarity/depressing Frat saga continues. Today, we were supposed to mock agency presentation on a huge piece of business that was up. Jameson, the veteran went first, did a great job, no complaints form management. I went second, did good, a few issues, but no complaints, everything looked great. Runner went third, he did awesome, as expected. The dream team stops there. Frat went, and before he even opened his shit, (Mind you this is a mock presentaiton, bosses were taking very seriously), her was blurting out how he was sick on friday (assignment given 7 days prior) and how he couldnt get the right numbers (idiot) and bla bla bla. His presentation was 35% complete, at best. Boss1 was speachless. His response: Get your shit together. That is unacceptable.
3) It was Jamesons birthday today. Runner, the 2 assistants, promotions chick, and myself were only ones in attendance. It quickly turned into Jameson bitching about all that is going on. I agreed with lots of his points, and if i were him, i really would be upset about my job and the lack of accounts he was handed.
4) I have applied for another job that i really want to get an interview at (no shit). It is at a huge ad agency, and I dont know the specifics of the job, however i REALLY WANT IN this company. My hours would double, my commute would require Will to take public transportation (yowsers) and who knows abotu the pay. Why leave TV Station? sales...i just dont know if i am a true true salesman. I am good. I enjoy talking/interacting and relating with people, but i think there are other professions that deal with thos strengths, but in a better way.
5) i am freelance editing for a friend of a friend (runners friend) and i am cutting this post short, because i have to get back to this project.
6) Will Loman is back on the posting...stay tuned. TV Station always has a story.
