Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, job posting, no. Why you gotta be like this?
It would take the world's strongest man to pull you away from the keyboard when you're writing sales copy. You won't stop until what you've written convinces YOU that you can't live without it (maybe I do need that bacon flavored toothpaste after all). Your marketing x-ray vision helps you penetrate into the pain of the target audience to write copy that achieves goals.
Anyone else onerous-ing with me?
Everything about today. I think my name must have been mentioned at a meeting somewhere, because my work inbox and IM are exploding all over the place. How do you all know about me and why do you need my opinion?!
I had an enchilada for lunch, but it was a healthy organic vegetarian one ( Amy's frozen).
I'm not sure if it was that or you all that makes me want to stop at Chipolte or Freebird's on the way home.
Shouldn't be onerous, but is - trying to get my new work phone set up. It is an iPhone, MY FIRST!, but alas, is not working completely. no work emails yet. Work ticket has been filed.
You switch gears like a cyclist in the Tour de France, putting on your analytical hat to create and build marketing automation plans that meet goals -- big ones. And when conditions and business needs change mid project, you respond with BRING IT!
I HATE EVERYTHING THIS JOB DESCRIPTION CHOOSES TO BE.
I can't decide if those people need a new marketing copywriter or not.
Here is all I am reading. Hello we are assholes and we are going to work you to death and expect miracles from you. When you fail, and you will, we will say things like "you were not up to the task" or "sorry that you did not want to be challenged". Run, run while you can.
Not really that onerous but I went to Bob's 6-month oncologist appointment with him (and he doesn't have to go back for a YEAR!).
And I had a 2-hour meeting first thing this morning attended by my least favorite person from our client. That could have been super onerous and annoying but actually seems to have been productive? Time will tell!
Also, "We are all screaming extroverts, and if you're an introvert, we will completely fail to understand you and will mock you while we're out getting drunk."

As msbelle said, run away. Far, far away.
