Musical Desks

I’m moving desks. Again. This is the third move since I joined the agency nine months ago.
I have just worked out that its my fifteenth desk move in my 8 year career. Which seems excessive. No-one seems to know where to sit Planners – so far I’ve been billeted with account handling, new business, research, design and the directors – but never with creative. Which probably says a lot about how agencies are set up.
I can understand why agencies need to shuffle things around every so often as clients change, teams expand and the business grows/shrinks – and on the plus side I can now pack my desk and life into two plastic crates in ten minutes flat.
Top tip – if anyone gives you anything relating to a project, give it back to them as soon as possible…and continue to enjoy an easily-packable workspace.
Someone who is slightly less organised than me is the wonderful amalah.

Perhaps you’re working at one of those places that favour “hot desking” and nobody told you.
