Nurse Barbie
Yes, you can have it all
My company has no boundaries creatively or demographically. With 21st century technology, my virtual team across the United Is as follows: I have proofreaders and editors in New York and Texas, IT personnel in California, Philadelphia and South Carolina, camera crews on the west and east coasts, public relations staff throughout the country and the list goes on. The irony of my business within a team of many, I only have two members met in person, but our connection is strong and professionalism is unsurpassed.
Within the past seven years, I moved my office to my house so I could access to care for my elderly father and his 'home' for my daughter. I'm sure the best of both worlds. Advertising is crazy and my life is hectic, but when a school excursion for my daughter, I'm there and when my father a physician, I too, am. The beauty of advertising is that much of the work can be done "after hours" and because of the personal choices I made are many nights I really burn the midnight oil, but the rewards are enormous.
It's not easy balancing work and home and I am convinced that some people are actually better suited to work within the structure of a traditional work environment. Working at home is not for everyone and strong discipline, otherwise the work will be applied just a hobby. For many persons, the hours are longer and the responsibilities are many, but for those juggling family, a sense of humor is a must.
To due to my father's failing health, I recently had a home nurse, so I could concentrate on business commitments and meetings minus the rent breaks. I knew that the time for a nurse approached at a conference I had a few months ago. While I was in the process of explaining a project to a client, my father came burst into my office and ranted aloud about what brand of toilet paper he should use. I started waving at him, trying to make my professionalism with my clients to maintain and before I knew my father grabbed the phone from me and interviewed clients of the brand they use. Of course, I was humiliated, but again I make no secret of to my clients what my circumstances, and to my surprise, the customer had advised Kleenex on Charmin. Well, that broke the ice and since then the client has become one of my top current customers. My father is not allowed in my office no longer because … well, just because.
A few years ago, when I was in New York I had a meeting with Mattel on a package job for a Barbie campaign. At the time, my daughter was only 18 months old and I kept her home with me while I worked. Halfway the conference, my daughter started to restless and I knew I had to be creative right to continue meeting. In discussing new Barbie products, I immediately put up a tent caterpillar in the middle of my living room and put the rest of my meeting creep within two meters high tent with my daughter. It was a win-win situation and both my client and daughter were satisfied. To Mr. DeMille, I would however insist on not having my camera close-up that day.
Many people think of advertising as a 'glamorous' business and while I was on Madison Avenue, it was glamorous. Meetings at Sardi's or The Russian Tea Room was not unusual and tickets to Broadway plays or above luxury gifts were among the many advantages of running an advertising agency in Manhattan. During the summer months, many customers would have elegant lawn party on their estates The luxurious North Shore of Long Island where the best food and service was available. I have worked with the best and is the best. These days, however, although the quality of my work desk turn out is the same, I'm sad to say, the glamor of Manhattan era has faded. People around my office will often find me in a T-shirt and jeans, and if they are lucky I have my favorite jeans that are ripped at both knees to wear. Unconsciously to the youth of today were not purchased this favorite jeans with rips, but is developed in time.
My daughter attends a private school and I am her carriage. The school is one hour commute in the morning and one hour in the afternoon, so every minute is weekdays justified. I must say that in the morning, my daughter and I Minutes to a science, we are a good team, especially when I move the food into her mouth and her dressing on the same time.
Last year, while waiting at the pick-up line for my daughter, a teacher approached my car with a huge brown bag. Apparently she saw my ripped jeans and felt led to some of her clothes to donate to me. I did not know what to say and it took all I had to keep from laughing out loud. I thanked her kindly for thinking me and suggested that perhaps her generosity would be better suited for someone in need. She stared into my eyes and assured me that she was certain that "I was someone in need. I noticed that they have no idea what my job was and assumed that I was a struggling home mother. Well, as I said, I got the best of both worlds and I would not trade for anything in the world, but maybe it came time to retire my jeans … at least when I pick up my daughter from school.
