the end

I can't believe the day has come. May last day at Ogilvy. Although I'm super excited to go home and get back to school I will be sad to leave here. It kinda sucks not to be able to see the final results of a lot of the things that I worked on here. Especially Crystal Light. I've learned an incredible amount through this experience and I only hope that translates into newer and better work. I'm eager to get back to school and work my ass off to get a book that I'm actually proud of.

Monday I made the mistake of thinking that I would actually get out of work at a normal hour. Haha. I'm not even sure what I worked on at this point. I think we needed to come up with different transitions for parts of the Crystal Light storyboards and I had to redraw some frames. It ended up being another late night and I didn't get home until after 1am.

Tuesday was much more laid back for once. I just had to make a few copy changes to my Shreddies files and kinda hung out for the most part. Wed. I felt really bad because everyone was freaking out over the workload that they had. I kept offering to help people out but it wasn't really stuff that I could help with. The only thing that I ended up doing was laying out the two remaining print ads for Winners and got them ready to be sent off to the studio. Later in the day I got brought in to help work on Carnation. So we ended up staying late brainstorming again until 11. I guess it was worth it because Janet liked most of our ideas. She liked more than she killed and today we have a meeting with media planners for that.

Yesterday was pretty relaxed too and I actually left work at 5. I planned on going to the Paperchase that claimed that it was like 3 blocks from my office building on google maps but ended up walking around for 45 minutes in the 10 degree weather before I gave up and sought shelter. It was painfully cold to be outside for that long. I ended up going to the mall and picked up nice sketchbooks and some thank you cards for Cara, Bee and Mike. I'm planning on letterpressing some stuff for Nancy and sending her a UD thing or two as a thank you. After my shopping fiasco I had to head back down near the office and I met my aunt to see Dirty Dancing on the Canadian version of Broadway. It wasn't totally what I expected but still fun to watch. Whoever did the casting did an awesome job at getting people that look like actors in the movie.
