Where do I work? That is a question that I have been asked quite frequently. Let’s just say I work for an interactive advertising agency; it is the number one interactive advertising agency 
in the world and ranked in the top ten of all advertising agencies.
What is an interactive advertising agency? I wondered that myself when I began. Some services that we offer are digital branding, systematic design, multichannel marketing, online advertising, e-commerce, technology based advertising. If you don’t know what all those things are, it is probably best not to ask me as I am really only concerned with the accounting aspects.
The atmosphere of an advertising firm is different from what I am used to. Besides being more casual and laid back, the personalities are unique, and work is generally specific for this field. I honestly did not know what I was getting myself into when I accepted this position. In my interview, I was informed that the company is going through drastic growth and it is about time that they get their accounting department up to speed to match that growth. In the near future we will be adopting a whole new computer system and I really think it was my excitement over the thought of getting to help lead the company to the next level that won me the job. If you know me, you know that Husband’s love for technology has rubbed off onto me. Yes. I admit it. I am an accounting nerd that gets very excited about using a new software that I have never been blessed with the opportunity to use before. Not only will I eventually get to use, but I get to figure out how to adopt our company’s current processes and make them more efficient using the new system. This is all incredibly exciting for me. Unfortunately, it has yet to be determined when we will get to make this big switch, so in the meantime I get to learn the current processes (which are a little outdated) and determine how we can streamline those so that I don’t pull my hair out in frustration over wasting time with old technology. Thank goodness for my love of spreadsheets!
I have really enjoyed getting to know my new coworkers and we all seem to get along very well. That being said, going to work really makes me miss my old coworkers. While the atmosphere at my previous employment was at times unsettling, I made some amazing friends, whom I miss terribly. What would be great is if we could move all of them out here!
Work has really taken up most of my time. There is something about starting a new job. Even if the work is really not all that difficult, it is still mentally draining trying to learn everything and keep everything straight.

So do you think you could get me a job as a copy-writer? I took a wrong turn somewhere in my life.....
Glad you checked in again. I was wondering how the job was going. Sounds like you are having a great time. Scrabble
