Mid-career crisis

Last night, Mr. Sweetypants and I watched the Bill Hicks documentary, "American."

During the famous "Advertising and Marketing" bit, Mr. Sweetypants clapped and yelled, "Yeah!"

I was conflicted. Before MSP was able to get his green card after we got married, I made twice as much money writing ads as he did for measuring and preventing pollutants in the air we all breathe. All my creative friends and I just read briefs and produced messages, and I loved my job back then. And I miss miss miss working downtown with my friends.

But lately, I've been trying to figure out a way to update my resume and LinkedIn profile to say something along the lines of, "Look how experienced and accomplished I am! I never, ever want to do that again and want to work in a boutique."

We miss you, Bill.
