Something New...

Hard to believe, but I'll be starting another new job tomorrow, this time at the ad agency Saatchi & Saatchi. I'm actually quite excited, as it seems as though the quality of life should be substantially better than what I just left - then one might ask, how could it get worse? I'm actually close enough that I can probably walk home in a half hour, but I've been considering possibly biking to work as part of my regular commute. A little extra exercise certainly can't hurt. Mya have to reevaluate this once the humid months hit, but tomorrow I hope to check out the storage options for a bike.
Regarding Saatchi itself, I recall while living in New Zealand that one of my big sells for one of the publications I was working on was for Qantas, which was managed by S&S, or at least at the time it was. My boss at the time was so excited for me (and really, for him) since it meant that we had a foot in the door to a major advertising firm which could, in theory, lead to some other possible buys. Of course now that I work in the world of advertising I know better - the back part of our publication featured ads for escorts and massage therapists, which would immediately kill the opportunity for the inclusion of most big name advertisers. Still, the name stuck with me, and now, starting at 9am tomorrow morning, I'll be working for them.
