Athletic Coach
The Real Poop
You played church league softball when you were growing up. You have lots of great memories of catching fly balls and pegging members of opposing teams in the back, but what you remember most is your coach. He was an older guy, someone who loved the sport and so volunteered his Saturdays and a couple of afternoons a week to practices and games. You learned a lot from him: how to hit, how to catch, how to win and lose gracefully. One lesson more than any other has stuck with you through the years, however: There's no crying in baseball.
Now you'd like to pass what you learned in church league softball on to a new generation, not as a volunteer instructor, but as an actual, honest-to-goodness athletic coach. While there are several team sports you could coach and various levels you could coach at, all coaching jobs share some similarities:
- You'll plan and conduct practice sessions, where you'll instruct your team on technique, the rules of the sport, strategy, and why it's a bad idea to try and to purposely injure members of the opposing team
- You'll prep for games by analyzing the other team and your own players, so you can decide who should play what position and when
- You'll give heartwarming pep talks prior to and during games
- You'll call plays and substitutions and argue with the ref during games, and get ejected as needed
- You'll track your team's performance and adjust how your athletes train accordingly
- You'll identify and recruit athletes who would make good additions to your team
You long to be a high school, college, or professional-level coach, not because you love a particular sport, but because you adore it, and you want to see it played well. Maybe you played the sport in high school or college, maybe you were good, but not great, or maybe your athletic career was ended too soon by an injury. Whatever the case, you believe that you're the best possible person to teach others, not only how to play the game, but how to win it.
You'll have to possess top-notch communication skills in order to fill the sometimes empty skulls of your athletes with information. You'll need to be able to make intelligent and resourceful decisions about who to play during and how to play the game. Perhaps most importantly, you'll have to lead. As a high school coach, you'll be shaping young men and women, not only into competent athletes, but into (hopefully) competent adults. As a college or professional coach, you'll be directing players who may be wonderful people…or who may be full-blown basket cases. Wherever you're coaching, you need to show your players how to be motivated, dedicated, and disciplined.
So, how do you become a coach? At the high school level, you just have to want the job. Seriously: That's the requirement. You're the kind of person who likes kids (bless you for that, because hormonal teenagers are awful) and wants to show them how much they can learn about being decent, successful human beings through sports. You also have the fortitude of a saint, because the only thing worse than a hormonal teenager, is the parent of a hormonal teenager who thinks their kid is the second coming of Michael Phelps.
If you want to coach the University of South Carolina to its next College World Series title, or the Denver Broncos to that bright and shiny Vince Lombardi Trophy, you can't just want to be a coach. You've got to go after your dream like a dog going after a rabbit:
- Get your undergraduate degree in a field like sports management or sport science and exercise
- Play the sport you want to coach at the college level
- Go on to earn a master's degree in a field like education or sports administration
- Work as a minion to a coach while you're in graduate school
Only after you've jumped through all these hoops will you be eligible for coaching jobs, and you'll often start out at the bottom of the ladder, coaching a junior varsity team or a specific element of a team, like the offensive line. If you want to move up from an assistant position to head coach, well, you'll have to prove that you're the next Connie Mack.
You probably think that coaching is awesome and exciting and stuff because, yes, you get to be a part of a sport you love. Yes, you get to feel satisfaction when your team wins, and tear-inducing pride that your vision is what helped lead to victory. Yes, you may garner national acclaim as a coach, although there are very specific circumstances in which that kind of fame occurs. Yes, you may be well-compensated for your efforts, although—again—this only happens in certain cases.
However, sometimes being a coach will make you wish you could have a close encounter with an Acme anvil. The hours suck, and you can kiss your family and personal life goodbye, especially when your sport is in season. Job security is nonexistent, and whether or not you get to keep your position as a coach depends on how your team performs and, sometimes, no matter how good of a coach you are, your team is going to bomb. The fans and the owners will expect your team to win often and win big; they'll want trophies and titles that you may not be able to deliver. The media will hound you, especially if your team is not performing as well as it might, and while you'll want to give the entirety of the press corps the middle finger, you really aren't supposed to do that.
Additionally, you'll have to be prepared to deal with bad behavior from your players. Maybe they'll do nothing more egregious than giving a really candid interview to a TV reporter or maybe they'll be indicted for murder. Accept the fact that, sometimes, sports can contribute to bringing out the worst in people.
If coaching doesn't sound like your cup of tea, there are other careers you could pursue. Maybe you're actually good enough at your sport to play professionally (many coaches aren't). Perhaps you'd prefer to work as a scout, where you focus on evaluating potential players for recruitment. You could also become a referee or game official, or instruct athletes in a sport one-on-one. Heck, if you love the game and can string a sentence together, maybe you have what it takes to be a sports writer.

Ten years later my wife has her wages garnished by our dear friends at Cavalry for some made up figure that they seemed to pull out of thin air. Whatever! We did just what scum bag companies like this hoped we'd do. Our paycheck to paycheck lifestyle insured that we could not obtain an attorney to look over this shady looking judgement so the money started coming out of my wifes check. Finally a grand total of $4500 was paid and we could return wonderful lavish lifestyle of barely making it. At least that's what we thought......
Two days ago my wife was informed that some type of error had occured with Cavalry's original cash total taken from my wife. They are slapping another $535 garnishment on her with no explaination other than the first garnishment had been for the incorrect amount. This leads me to believe that any time Cavalry wants some quick cash they will just hit us up again and again. This must be why I'm in the sad shape I'm in with finances. In the trucking business I only charge the customer once for a load. I guess I'll look in to charging them numerous times.
I also have to wonder what kind of services the judges in these cases are receiving

Unethical business practices harm organizations and economies. Large-scale business failures such as Enron—as well as the more recent failures related to the global financial crisis—highlight the consequences of unethical business practices and amoral management. Professional accountants, as stewards of transparency and trust, and subject to a professional code of ethics, have a key role to play not only in upholding but in encouraging and influencing ethical behavior and decision making within their organizations.

text: These Are the 20 Deadliest Jobs In America by TIME @FortuneMagazine May 14, 2016, 1:10 PM EDT E-mail Tweet Facebook Linkedin Share icons Nearly twice as many engineers as nurses died of fatal injuries while working in 2014, a new federal report found. The culprits in the 21 engineer and 12 nurse deaths included falls, car accidents, and exposure to deadly chemicals. But those fatalities didn't place either occupation on the list of the most dangerous jobs in America, because the fatalities were relatively rare compared to the total number of workers: Engineers, for example, lost 1.2 lives for every 100,000 workers. Compare that to 111 deaths for every 100,000 loggers, who had the most dangerous civilian job in the U.S. in 2014, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' recently updated Census of Fatal Occupation Injuries. Common dangers include falling branches and rough terrain. Temp Jobs are Making Workplaces More Dangerous That's no surprise to Janet Webb, chief forester and president of Big Creek Lumber in central California, who said lumber workers face the additional challenge of being based in rural areas with limited access to hospitals. "Whether it's logging, fishing, or agriculture jobs, when you're working in wilderness type settings you're not right there next to [a] facility that can bail you out," Webb said. Explore the 25 most dangerous jobs in the table below. Most Dangerous Jobs of 2014: 2014 RANK OCCUPATION FATAL INJURIES PER 100,000 PEOPLE TOTAL DEATHS 1 Logging workers 110.9 78 2 Fishers and related fishing workers 80.8 22 3 Aircraft pilots and flight engineers 64 82 4 Roofers 47.4 83 5 Refuse and recyclable material collectors 35.8 27 6 Farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural managers 26.7 270 7 Structural iron and steel workers 25.2 15 8 Driver/sales workers and truck drivers 24.7 880 9 Electrical power-line installers and repairers 19.2 25 10 Taxi drivers and chauffeurs 18 68 11 First-line supervisors of construction trades and extraction workers 17.9 130 12 Construction laborers 16.9 208 13 First-line supervisors of landscaping, lawn service, and groundskeeping workers 16.4 33 14 Maintenance and repairs workers, general 14.4 68 15 Police and sheriff's patrol officers 13.5 97 16 Grounds maintenance workers 13.1 158 17 First-line supervisors of mechanics, installers, and repairers 12.3 38 18 Painters, construction and maintenance 10.8 46 19 Electricians 10.4 79 20 Telecommunications line installers and repairers 10 19 The list corroborates Webb's observation—after loggers, the second deadliest job belongs to fishers and other fishing workers, with 80 fatal injuries per 100,000 workers in 2014. That's far higher than the average for all civilians of 3.4 fatal injuries per 100,000 workers; that average is up slightly from 3.3 in 2013. The five most dangerous occupations remained unchanged from their 2013 ranking, while jobs involving construction, driving and repairs shifted slightly. Police officers became the 15th most dangerous job, up from 17th in 2013. But 2014's 97 police deaths still remains below the 130 fatalities seen in 2011. If You Die at Work, What Happens to Your Employer? While the table ranks occupations by fatality rates, the total number of deaths for loggers is dwarfed by the number of fatalities for larger occupations, like truck drivers and farmers, which saw 880 and 270 deaths respectively. In all, there were a total of 4,821 fatal work injuries in the U.S. in 2014, slightly higher than the preliminary figure of 4,679 reported last September. The Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish the 2015 census of fatal work injuries in December 2016. Methodology Fatal injury rates exclude workers under the age of 16 years, volunteers, and resident military. Read more about the fatal work injury rate methodology here.

Surely these imbeciles who make these videos know that Westerners laugh at every video they make? And this video has the Dear Leader (Ruthless Fat Cunt) and all the highest officials opening a butcher shop FFS. Where in the West this shit would be a non event in a small country town. Below is what accompanied the original video description. The link to their channel has many other preposterously absurd videos.
Pyongyang, April 26 2012 (KCNA) -- The Mansugyo Meat and Fish Shop built on the bank of picturesque Pothong River in Pyongyang started its business on Wednesday.
The 3-storey shop covers 5 000 plus square meters.
Its ground floor has counters of fresh and frozen fish and processed fish while the first floor counters of meat including beef, pork, goose, turkey and quail and processed foodstuff.
The second floor has a restaurant serving steak.
The opening ceremony was held on Wednesday.
The dear respected Kim Jong Un appeared at the shop to congratulate its opening.
Attended there were Kim Yong Nam, Choe Yong Rim, Choe Ryong Hae, Ri Yong Ho and other senior party, state and army officials and officials concerned.
Looking round the interior of the shop, Kim Jong Un expressed great satisfaction with the solider builders having built the shop to be loved by the people.
He ardently said leader Kim Jong Il would have seen the shop with the highest service level.
He advanced tasks to manage and operate the shop.
He visited the shop construction site in January and indicated the orientation and ways for construction, underlining the need to provide the best convenience to the consumers.

Both their short and long range missiles fall well short of their intended targets...

Hi All,I tend to shoot in JPEG as I haven't really got the time or inclination to Post-process my novice pictures!Would it benefit me to change my settings from sRGB to AdobeRGB for better colours? Would this affect picture processing at a store/on my Laptop?Thanks

Certainly there are more people better qualified than I, but from what I understand Adobe RGB is supposed to provide more variations of color. Your camera and printer settings should be the same for color management - each set to whatever setting you decide to chose. I talked with one store and they told me they used sRGB since most of the shots they got were JPEG.John

My understanding is that most one-hour developers use sRGB. Assuming this is the case you will be better served with sRGB.

Well, I don't hold myself out to be any kind of expert on color space, but here's my take on it. Most monitors, labs and printers work in sRGB color space, so I don't think using AdobeRGB gives you much of an advantage for the majority of what most people do with their pictures.Now, if you are doing highly critical work and have access to monitors and printers that can take better advantage of the AdobeRGB space, then that's a different matter.I routinely shoot in sRGB and print some on my inkjet printer and send some to a pro lab, and get great results.That's my "practical" take on it. I'm sure we will get many more detailed opinions from those who are much more technically qualified on the issue.Jack

My advice is stick with sRGB as you want to avoid post processing.Whilst Adobe RGB can record more colours you loose out with reduced colour saturation if you get RGB printed out by a high street lab using sRGB.Whilst it is easy to convert RGB to sRGB (if you remember!) it is an extra post process step which you prefer to avoid.

>Here's a short tutorial on sRGB and AdobeRGB that may help.>>http://www.fotohacker.com/2008/02/20/srgb-vs-adobe-rgb/That Fotohacker blog post starts off well, but then gets a bit, um, murky and contains a couple of non sequiturs such as: "Because the spectrum of color is restricted somewhat sRGB (in some ends of the spectrum) these images will typically "pop" a little more without any editing consideration. That's because the color is not spread out over as wide an area."The paragraph doesn't make any sense. It sounds vaguely authoritative, but it's meaningless. The most important thing to respect when choosing a color space is to stick with it. If you set your camera to Adobe RGB, stick with it throughout your image processing, lab printing and so on. If you choose sRGB, stick with it throughout your image processing, lab printing and so on. Always work with the largest color gamut, and the largest size images captured at the highest resolution your camera can provide. Remember too that printing is not a RGB color process - it's a CYMK+ process. As well, print gamuts are larger than image capture gamuts and display gamuts, so even when you're working with Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB, both of which have gamuts that many good LCD monitors can't fully display, a good third-party print lab will respect your chosen color space when they convert to CYMK TIF before printing. In many cases (when final images are printed), your original choice of Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB can result in more detailed and more vibrant prints. Choice of gamut affects a number of things. Image sharpness, for example, occurs because of a confluence of several factors, among others: Optical quality - the better the optical quality of the glass and hybrid formulae used to create the various elements in a lens, and the more carefully and accurately the lens elements are assembled and calibrated, the sharper your images can be. Technique - proper handholding technique and proper tripod technique will contribute to the capture of sharp images.Bit depth - the greater the bit depth captured by the camera, the more likely it is that fine detail, and transitional gradients at fine edges and in finely textured surfaces will be fully captured. The more clearly those edges and texture changes are accurately captured, the more edge and surface detail is perceived the sharper an image appears. Gamut - color depth is a fundamental part of accurately capturing shadow detail, subtleties of some facial expression, richness of texture and many other details. Larger gamut can, with some subjects, provide a perception of greater emotion. Just as the subtle contrasts of B&W photography be used to convey dramatic expressions of emotion, so too can great color gamut contribute to the capture of the most dramatically lifelike realities.Contrast - lens coatings and glass formulae contribute to the ability of a sensor to capture contrast, edge definition and accurate gamut. The more accurate the contrast throughout an image, the more desirable sharpness is perceived. I think it's always true that greater gamut - and the same gamut throughout the image processing and printing workflow - is better. So I think also that it is your needs, subject matter and print requirements which should dictate your choice of gamut. Depending on the subject matter, B&W might sometimes be vastly better than even the widest color gamut at the highest resolution, size and bit depth. There is no "best" generally - only your needs.

Nicely explained Howard!Agreed with previous posts: if you are minimizing your time and bother with post-processing, you don't want to get into color space management and conversion. You can obtain excellent results using sRGB. The potential of improvements by using aRGB are subtle. Peter
#11. "RE: My advice is stick with sRGB." | In response to Reply # 10
Howard - Agreed, the post provided was not the best. The main point was to emphasize (in a short, simpler tutorial) that 8-bit JPEG photos will not benefit from a larger AdobeRGB color space.That's what happens when you skim tutorials. My speed-reading skills must be slipping.Peter summed it up nicely, set everything to sRGB and don't worry about it.

>>>Peter summed it up nicely, set everything to sRGB and>don't>>worry about it.>>Heh - I was just repeating what Len said Len is wise.sRGB is a perfectly decent choice. The OP should just stick with it - no conversions, no vacillating back and forth between gamuts. Once the choice is made, all that's left is to concentrate on making good photos!

Going for the gamut by shooting NEF or JPG+NEF is, I think, one way for the OP to get the best of both worlds. >That's what happens when you skim tutorials. My speed-reading>skills must be slipping.You can't mention slipping skills! Never talk about the slipping skills! Bad luck! Jinx!

Now that we all have email at the palm our hands, it's easy to forget how unusual it was when I first introduced Quickmail to Chiat/Day.
Jay loved technology, and he hated paper. So when I proposed that I introduce this new thing called "email," he was all for it.
Many of you, who are reading this on some sort of electronic device, kicked like cattle. (Yes, YOU!) I remember my implementation method. I told the front desk receptionists that they could no longer use "While You Were Out" slips. All of your messages, from hence forth/force, were to be delivered by "Quickmail." (Art directors were the hardest to handle.)
Remember Quickmail? You could create and swap fun Quickmail templates, including cartoons. You could "unsend."
I would like you to meet, some umpteen years later, two of the people who made this transformation happen. On the left, Laura Scott. On the right, Sue Nail. Both of them worked for CE Software in Iowa and helped me (and the tech staff) grab you kicking and screaming into the age of email.
If I can find it, I will publish the first email Jay ever sent.
Ah, here it is ..
You're all so young.
Chiat/Day was founded in 1968 and worked out of a fairly trashy office on Olympic Boulevard in LA. One of the founding partners was Hy Yablonka, Creative Director. I regret to inform you that I heard from Hy's son, Mike, that Hy died this morning (Tuesday), 1/6) at around 4 a.m. Mike and his wife were at his side.
One of Hy's wishes was to die at home, and I'm so glad his son, Mike, was able to make this happen for him.
I've been on the phone a lot today, not gathering facts, but just allowing myself (and others) to mourn. Many thanks to Patty Kanin, who was married to Hy for many years.
Few people know this, but it was Hy who hired Lee Clow.
Even I, who started at C/D in 1977, remember the wonderfully grumbly Hy, with this fiery red hair. Bill Moorland told me he had a barber chair in his office at Olympic Boulevard, which successfully made the transition to the Biltmore.
He had an amazing, wry sense of humor - always expressed "sotto voce" - so you could barely hear him.
He did a lot of the early Apple work, plus Nike and Honda.
He opened C/D's San Francisco office, and he helped keep Bob Sunderland alive. Literally. Jay set up a "suicide watch" for Sunderland. (You can search this website for his story.)
You were greatly loved, Hy.
I also learned today that the great Val Maiquez died in November. When I worked at Chiat/Day. Val worked in accounting. But he had a very special talent. His accent was so thick, few people could understand him. So what was the perfect job for Val? Handling phone calls from angry vendors looking for their money, of course. Since the vendors couldn't understand him, he saved us a lot of money. (I think it was Eve Luppert who dubbed him "Disco Bal.")
Jay often did extremely generous things. Once he gave $100,000 (yes!) to every employee who had worked there for 10 years. Val was one of those recipients (as was I.) Jay's kindness enabled Val to buy his own house, for himself and his lovely wife, Virginia.

One of the dumbest rumors I've heard recently is that Bonnie Lunt is dead. This is so not true. She is on her way to Ecuador doing good works for her charity.
I have no ideas where this rumor got started. She DID retire a couple of years ago, but let's face it, she helped so many of us, she deserves a rest. This rumor is just dumb.
I assure you, she is still very active. But her focus now is on the children of Ecuador, not you.
I live in upstate New York now (near Woodstock), so for me to drive into the city is a rare event.
I recently coerced Peter Franke and Scott Salmon into buying me lunch, which I insisted must include a steak with Bernaise sauce.
Pete led us to Palm West. He's such a regular, he has his face painted on the wall. (Apparently, there are FOUR Palm restaurants in NY. Peter's face is cartooned, I'm told, in three of them. In this photo, look at the top row.
Pete still works in print production, for an agency that is a division of Publicis. Scott is the general manager of the Manhattan Plaza Health Club.
They are great, good friends. For more than 30 years!]]>
In my formative years at Chiat/Day, one of the gods of the company was Steve Hayden. I believe (and Steve, correct me if I am wrong) he wrote the famous Apple Super Bowl ad for the introduction of the Macintosh.
He went on to become the grand-poohbah of Ogilvy. I still wonder if he ever quit smoking, which was his great vice. Hey, like I should talk. My favorite memories of Steve are from the Biltmore Hotel days. He and I and Susie Vye (his girlfriend) and whatever rapscallions we could gather together at the time would go downstairs and would run up bar bills that would exceed the national Gross National Product of many countries.
He was (and is) always nice to me.
He had some medical problems recently. Arthritis. Bone spurs. Hospital time.
I have met so many amazing people in my life. Steve is one of them.]]>
Thank you, Jessica!
Hey Steve.
Just wanted to let you know I just made a small donation on your PayPal. As I pull a little money from my Chiat/Day 401k each month to help cover the cost of my going back to school for my Masters in Clinical Art Therapy and my career change to put thinking & visuals together in a new way after 19 years with the agency, I often reflect on all the amazing adventures, life lessons, drama, creativity, and friendships of my time at Chiat/Day/Mojo\TBWA. This month I pulled a little extra just for you. I'm thinking it probably is from a little bonus Jay gave me in 1992 and so I'm giving it back.
Jay used to say the agency's most valuable asset goes down the elevator and out the door every night. There were so many incredible people I cherish having worked with that are too many to name, but while some people are lucky enough to have a mentor or two, I couldn't believe the list of mentors who taught me life lessons I still use almost each & every day:
It was Kupe (who was my teacher at ArtCenter) who taught me to want to be in a place that does great work; it was another ArtCenter teacher Yvonne Smith that taught me that women were capable of immense talent; it was Jay that taught me to believe in myself (& museums!); it was Lee that taught me to be passionate about seeing and to have love for a place and not jump ship for shiny things; it was Laurie Coots that taught me teamwork, corporate culture, the art of global travel and perseverance; it was Mark Bilfield who taught me to plan for the future (he told me my first week if I contributed to my 401k I'd never miss it but would thank him later - 23 years later I do!!); it was Dave Butler and Jerry Gentile who taught me it was about doing really great work daily and not the flamboyance of awards or credit that others may partake in; it was Amy Miyano who taught me to respect the talents, kerning and space of the hardworking studio team that made the magic real; it was Hank Hinton who taught me that having a quick-witted officemate makes life more enjoyable; it was Margaret Keene who taught me the joys of sharing what I know with others & of laughing in the wee hours; it was Nancy Alley who taught me the importance of respect for everyone in all departments; it was Elaine Hinton & Richard O'Neal who taught me peeking in while ostensibly taking candy is ok —but to let producers do their job; it was Dan & Beth Bootzin who taught me you can get beautiful water from a dry stone if you cut it enough and just the right way; it was Cheryllynn Carter who taught me to laugh and not let naysayers get me down; it was Adam Morgan who taught me to listen to what people really think; It was Jim Juback, Rob Fleming, Diana Johnson, Jill Savage, Shelly Holden and Christine Donohoe who taught me to care about a job all the way through every department to its finish despite what other "creatives" think; it was Velda Ruddock who taught me to research and not stop at the first thing I find; it was Monica Karo who taught me grace under fire, and it was she & Fred Sattler that taught me that it mattered where and how people saw my work; it was Zach Rosenberg who taught me the power of networking and client diplomacy; it was Carol Madonna who taught me to buy myself flowers & the price of a post-it note; it was Amy Moorman & Jigisha Bouverat who taught me to respect copyright law and the talents of contributing artists; and perhaps most importantly, it was my favorite production manager Andrew Edelstein who taught me that late nights were for love and not just for concepting, typesetting, press checks or making comps.
And the donation Steve is to you, for teaching me (and all of us) to be grateful for the special place we were fortunate enough to grow and learn in. As Jay said when he gave me the small cash bonus literally from his own pocket, "I wish it could be more." Once my private practice is on solid ground (& a dent made in my student loan!) I will donate more. Until then, I encourage others to support you & the jay/day site. Thanks for keeping us connected.
Back at ya', Jessica
More sadness to report. C/D alum Mike MacNeill died last night (8/5/2014) in a freak explosion in his garage at his home in Brooklyn. No additional details to report. He is survived by his wife, Angela, and his daughter, Sophia.
Mike had been working as a Freelance Integrated Creative Director at NBCUniversal, but worked at TBWA/Chiat/Day on the Accenture and Global Volvo pitch and in the early 90s, worked at Chiat/Day as an art director.
I worked at Chiat/Day from the time we were nothing but a sleazy office on Olympic Boulevard and our lunch consisted of whatever rodent was being offered that day off of the burrito cart in the parking lot, which, for some reason, makes me think of David Butler.
David. Dave. Davey. In all of my years at C/D, he was the nicest person I ever worked with (except for you, of course.)
There was a time in this business when the "long copy" ad ruled. By "long copy," I mean a strong graphic, a headline and then copy so brilliant it would blow your head off. David usually contributed the latter two.
I first got into advertising by a circuitous means, the whole flashback of which I will spare you. But even though I was starving in Spokane, WA, as a junior copywriter (there was no senior copywriter - hey, wait a minute, I was the ONLY copywriter!)
I would pore over the issues of Communication Arts Magazine just to read the ads that were coming out of C/D, many of which were pouring out of the mind of David Butler. He was my hero. I wanted to work near him so bad I would be willing to bleed.
I ultimately got to work at C/D through a bit of stupid luck. (Bless you, Sharon Stanley.) And there, right down the hallway from my office, was David Butler. I mean this in all honesty, he is the most talented person with whom I have ever worked.
And now let's talk about where David got his talent. Some of it was inherited, for David Butler is the son of one of the most famous voice-over artists in history: Daws Butler.
Yep, all that time we were growing up and listening to Yogi Bear and Huckleberry Hound and Quickdraw McGraw, we were actually listening to Dave's father, Daws Butler.
I've never done this before, but I hereby create the "Alburty Awards," of which Dave is the first recipient.
David and his wife, Margie, live in Austin, Texas.
And here is the entire Daws Butler cast of characters. (Click on the image to make it larger.)
"The immediate family requests that no comments be made on any social media sites. Thank you for understanding."
Oh, you poor people.
Because I was the "Wang" guy, I got to visit every office in which a Wang was installed. Forget the United States, my favorite station was Sydney, Australia. The fog in my mind forbids remembering how many years ago when I first met "The Simpsons."
(Background: Mojo was perhaps the most famous of all Australian ad agencies. Think Foster Beer. We merged. We drank. We merged.)
My contact was the great Mojo CFO, Jeff Simpson. He couldn't have been nicer. And his wife, Julie: I don't pass compliments around easily, but I asked her if she and Jeff would join me on a trip to Tahiti. I can think of few people who would refuse me. They did. I remain bereft.
I spent a few weeks there at the Manley Beach Hotel and (Jeff and Julie know what's coming next) they made scrambled eggs that were so bad the entire nation should have been banned from the U.N. (Lovely country. I got to pet a kangaroo. But they don't know from eggs.)
As they grew up, each of the children (Adam and Clair) came to NY to have their "Uncle Steve" give them their tour of NY, separately; I had one day with each of them. I took them to the most famous sites in NY. Including, as the grand finale, The Dakota apartment building. I sat them down (after walking their feet off for an entire day) on a park bench across from the Dakota.
I teased them. "What happened here?" They knew from John Lennon, but "Rosemary's Baby," they have been sheltered. What a loss. I worry about Australia.
I digress. I have received a long update about the comings and goings about a family that played a very important place in our company history.
Recap: Jeff (CFO of Chiat/Day/Mojo), Julie (His darling wife), and their children, Adam and Clair.
Plus, after 20+ years, they remain dear friends of mine: Enjoy. And now, I proudly present: The Simpsons:
From Jeff:
Here is some info on the productive Simpsons (aka Adam - his wife Amy - and Clair). They are each in their early thirties. Clair is the eldest.
Clair is and completed her Bachelor of Education graduating in November 2013. She is currently working at a local primary school on a part time basis. She has a great passion for helping young children to learn - and not just in formal education. Clair also teaches swimming 3 evenings a week, both kids and adults. This ranges from junior learn to swim and water safety programs to advanced stroke technique. Clair took up ocean swimming in her mid 20's and regularly participates in ocean swims from 1 to 5 kilometres. Clair swims at least once a week with a group of distance swimmers. She is also known to her close friends as "Clair fish". Whilst completing her degree Clair moved home with us at Narrabeen (on the beach, conveniently). She is single (and available!) Clair loves all sports and participates and watches as much as she can. Clair and I are very passionate supporters of our local rugby league team (The Manly Sea Eagles, Manly is a locale and not a description of their sexuality). Clair and have "season tickets" to attend the Sea Eagles home games at our local stadium.
Adam is a passionate musician who has to work to pay for his passion. He tried Marketing and Advertising at University but drank too much beer to pass his exams. He has worked very hard at his music and achieved excellent academic results at high school in his formal music studies. He is a drummer, writer and arranger. He has been in a number of bands and loves performing. His current band have a very popular stage act (it involves zombies and beards which both seem to be popular at the moment). This band is called "Gay Paris" and to try to label them is difficult - edgy, hard rock will suffice. They recorded one album and have another on the way. They are going to San Francisco in July to record their new album at a specialist studio with the guy who came to Australia to produce their first album. (www.gayparis.com.au). The band has performed all over Australia in the last three years, in capital cities and major regional cities. They have a faithful following in some of our more industrial cities (not sure of a US equivalent). Adam fills in time between gigs working for the Australian Performing Rights Association which is owned by the major record companies and which collects royalties on behalf of music artists and composers. I am sure there is an American equivalent. In addition to their "baby news" Adam and Amy have just bought an apartment in the inner western suburbs of Sydney. They move in on Tuesday 6th May. He is at a very exciting stage of his life.
Amy [editor's note: Amy is Adam's gorgeous wife] is a wonderful person, but I guess you know that having met her. Amy is an Associate Editor at Elle Magazine and loves her work. Amy graduated with a Psychology degree from Sydney University and has spent most of her career as a writer/journalist. Amy combines her love of fashion and beauty with great writing skills and confident presence. She is a natural on TV and has done a number of "expert interviews" on the world of fashion and beauty trends/fads for national networks.She has travelled extensively and has spent time in New York, Milan, London, Paris and Hong Kong. Adam and Amy met through a mutual friend, fell in love, then fell out of love and went their separate ways for about five years. They met again in 2007, fell in love again and became engaged whilst on holiday in Lake Como in Italy in 2011. They married in a wonderful celebration in the gardens of a 5 acre property in mountains to the west of Sydney. In February this year Amy confirmed that she is having a baby in September, much to the absolute delight of everyone, especially her parents in law.
Please see enclosed a photo of the five of us and one of Adam and Amy.
I hope you have seen winter through OK and the allergies aren't too bad.
All the best.

Unless you were in involved in the Mojo acquisition, you never got to meet their amazing CFO, Jeff Simpson, or his wife, the spectacular Julie Simpson, or their children Adam and Clair, who are all grown up. I will provide details.
I also have a piece coming about David Butler, who has a colleague relative you will all recognize. But first I have to get something I have on my chest. I posted it on Facebook earlier tonight. (The Simpsons and Dave Butler are more important to me, but I had to respond) And thus:
Saturday, June 21st, was "Jay/Day," the day those of us who worked for the brilliant, quixotic man Jay Chiat, founder of Chiat/Day Advertising, were supposed to go out and repay Jay's many kindnesses to US by doing something caring for anyone in need of the type of inspiration Jay inspired in all of us. (These are the tenets: http://www.jayday.org/jayday.html)
Instead I found myself being kicked out of a FB group run by Laura Sweet, who also worked at Chiat/Day. She runs her own page on Facebook and the topic for the day was "The Open Office." Jay was notorious for believing that creativity came out of chaos, and so he was an early proponent of the "open office," in which the lack of doors was thought by him to inspire free form creativity. Some hated it. Others loved it. (I can't tell you how thrilling it was that I, a peon in 1977, got to meet some of the eventual icons of the industry, all because I could walk by their office and say "hi" when they were not busy.)
But others, admittedly, were not advocates. Some hated it. I think it was a problem in LA because the employees had been used to Frank Gehry's wonderful warehouse. But the "Binocular" building was much more problematic because the building already existed and had to be retrofitted. People had to be squeezed into tight spaces. The New York office was a different story. It was designed from the ground up by the great architect Gaetano Pesce. It not only didn't have any doors, it didn't have any offices. It was a mish-mosh of cafes, small workstations, "bubbles" (small conference rooms) and an area for personal lockers where you kept your personal belongings. It was quite an adjustment. It took months for people to calm down. But in the end, we sensed the overall experience was not the nightmare people had expected.
(True story: when Omnicom bought C/D and Bill Tragos from TBWA took over, he demanded his OWN bathroom. Eve Luppert, our HR director and (along with me and Laurie Coots) was one of the implementers of the Virtual Office was outraged. Remember how colorful the resin floors of the office were? Gaetano built Tragos his own bathroom. But the colors of the resin of the floor? Brown and yellow. I don't think Tragos ever got the joke.)
I am saddened that former colleagues (or some who had bad "open office nightmares" elsewhere), like Laura Sweet, Rich Siegel, Becca Morton, Diane Pirie Cockerill, Brad Gantt, Paul Stenquist, Brian Jay Miller, Melanie Monteiro, and Christie Cordes, are so bitter. (I'm even more sorry that Laura Sweet chooses who she wishes to allow to comment or not. Jay would have a conniption.)
I personally, will ALWAYS be grateful that I worked for Jay Chiat. He challenged us beyond our ability to be comfortable with his ideas. And he would be MORTified (get it? "Morton" was his real first name) that some of you use snarkiness or banishment to debase his achievement, or silence those, like me, who tried to achieve his dream. At least HE TRIED.

He was everybody's favorite Frenchman. Robin Rotenier worked in the accounting department in the late 80s/early 90s. He left to become a jeweler, which was no surprise, as he comes from a long line of jewelry designers. He met with wild success, eventually selling his work to stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman.
He was known as the King of the Cufflinks and once sold a pair with a ruby inlay for $9,800.
But on May 20th, he took a hammer, smashed his apartment window and jumped to his death. He left no note.
All of us who knew him mourn his loss. He was one of the sweetest people I have ever met.
And they said it wouldn't last.
The proposed merger between the omnivorous Omnicom and the agency-most-likely-to-be-in-heat, Publicis, has been called off.
Rumor has it that they could not agree on who would be CFO. Or whether the liquid in the stagnant coolers should be called "eau" or "eeeuuuh" Parisians insisted on fluffy, flaky croissants. Omnicom just wanted dough.
The issue of trying to mesh different cultures was also cited. "Culture?" Who has a culture anymore?
Creativity and money and cultures would not have stopped a $35 Billion merger. The "CFO" issue is a ruse.
"Culture?" Oh, baby, you should have said goodbye to that decades ago when you decided to eat each others' young.
That happy sound you hear is that of a hundreds of people in accounting departments across the world closing their laptops and going out for a drink,
I long for the days when the work mattered.
Apparently, 2014 will not be 1984.]]>
Every few months, I am permitted to leave the grounds of my Fortress of Solitude. Such was the occasion when I was invited to have brunch with someone (should be there be an election) would win by consent as the nicest Account Director I've even known.
Craig Lambert worked in the New York office in the height of its glory in the 80s. From there, he went on to become the Managing Director of Modem Media.
But wait (as they say in the commercials) that's not all.
When I had brunch with Craig, he had morphed once again into an entirely new life and career - that of an elementary school teacher!
Here he is with his partner, Brad, who is a psychiatrist. (I'm keeping his contact info close to the vest, as a good psychiatrist is hard to find these days. And who knows when I may succumb to the vapors?)
Craig fixed lunch (a sort of egg-frittata-quiche thing) which was delicious. Brad supervised.
Might I say (of course I may, as I run this blog) that they have a spectacular home in Norwalk, but that Craig has entirely switched … careers. He has gone into teaching, and is now getting his Masters in Education. The last I saw him, he was getting his feet wet by actually teaching in elementary school.
If you remember Craig, you can well imagine how lucky many kids will be thrilled to say, "Good morning, Mr. Lambert!"]]>
