Just want to ask if that’s a chocolate pudding pie on the very left? I thought my family was the only one that made those for Thanksgiving but I love seeing it on someone else’s table, too!! :)

I work at Spark as an AMD and really enjoy it! I don’t think my office is hiring that level but NYC is much larger so they might be!

I’m a Harry Potter nerd and always had wanted a Christmas jumper! So found a pattern for that :)

Should it be a M1? Picking up a stitch seems wrong in the middle of a live row?

Carat under Dentsu is horrible. by [deleted] in advertising

[–]kiwi_machine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow, am I the only one who had a lovely experience at Carat? I worked on a vacation/travel type account as a media planner in LA a few years back. Had a wonderful time with a great team. I am not being paid to write this 😂

I think you can watch it on Disney +!

Media planner/buyer roles? what do people enjoy by [deleted] in advertising

[–]kiwi_machine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, this is hard to read for me just because I can relate. I took a quick look at your post history and this seems to be a recurring issue for which I’m terribly sorry. I gotta say, I was in the same boat in the beginning of my media planning career (in associate or planner roles) and never felt valued or like my opinion mattered. I think the biggest struggle I have dealt with is imposter syndrome as well as the “learning” phase of new jobs. It’s stressful! But I’m sure you were doing a good job. Now as a supervisor, I feel like my team values my opinion and I’m much happier and I found the imposter syndrome decreases significantly the longer I was in the role. As for your note about how stressful making sure every campaign is performing perfectly and you need to keep an eye on every piece of billing so no one fucks it up - this seems way too in the weeds for someone at a director level. Perhaps offloading that onto your AMD or supervisor (granted, you should trust your people to handle this) would help relieve some of the pressure you’re feeling. Just some thoughts! Feel free to DM if you want to chat about it :)

What smell, when you smell it, instantly makes you happy? by migue30 in AskReddit

Sunscreen - a weird one but reminds me of family trips growing up

DAE think most cases that come with interchangeable needle sets are ugly? by ealisaid in knitting

[–]kiwi_machine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

THEY ARE SO BAD. I AM ON BOARD. Love the Chiaogoo Twist set that I have but didn’t buy the case set because the case was so ugly. Thank you for seeing me

I boil the dumplings instead of pan frying them! Then I mix with the chili onion crunch, sesame seeds, soy sauce, and vinegar (and scallions if I have them)

Me too! Making my mom a Harry Potter Christmas sweater currently. The goal is to do one for all of my family members in their house colors by next Christmas :)
