  High drama in the home office! Apparently one of our copywriters quit today in a dramatic huff over one too many "artistic differences.
" (When will advertising writers learn that there's no artistry in what we do? It's just data entry at the behest of the client's legal department -- with the occasional funny headline thrown in to make us feel fulfilled. ) Details are still sketchy, but it sounds like our dearly departed colleague made quite a scene on his way out.
No word on whether he got in any final jabs at the one employee loathed by almost everyone. But if she were instrumental in driving out a damn good writer in the middle of a crisis-level copywriter deficit, it could help lead to what we will euphemistically call a mass improvement in morale. MANY fingers are crossed here. And on the even-more-hopeful side, I'm now the senior-most senior copywriter on staff. Which puts me first in line (seniority-wise, at least) for an ACD promotion. Which means more money and more prestige. And even less time for a personal life.
