Hasta La Creative!

Got a note from one Erik Proulx.

A few weeks ago he was a senior copywriter at a name brand agency. Next thing he knew he's in one of those  breathless, shaky meetings where the HR person says, "Well, no one likes a meeting like this…."

Yep. Laid off.

As the first ripples of the bad economy tsunami begin lapping at advertising's shores we can unfortunately expect more of our rank to have the shell-shocking experience of a meeting like this.

So, what's an unemployed writer do? Well,  Erik's went and started a blog for newly unemployed ad person. It's called Please Feed the Animals.  It's an honest and personal look at the thoughts that, by necessity, roll through one's head. We think Erik deserves a lot of props for sharing his experience. No doubt too many of our rank will be able to benefit from the cathartic nature of it.

Hang in there, kitties.
