Bedtime Story #1. “Lady from the Account Side.”
March 31, 2008
Yawn! Another too-short weekend is over and it’s time to settle down and ready ourselves for the hectic week ahead. Wouldn’t it be nice to cozy down into our nice soft bed, pull the sheets up to our chin, and be told a magical bedtime story?
That would definitely get the week started off right.
And not one about fairies or dragons. No no. We’re grown-ups now. We need something relevant… the kind of story based on truth, but made to feel a bit less ugly so we don’t get nightmares.
Tonight, we’ll begin our series with a classic. Feel free to share your favorite stories with us at agencyspy.agentc [at] gmail.
Lady from the Account Side.
Once upon a time, at a big agency in the greatest city in all the land, a meeting was announced. All of the most important people working on one particular account were called upon to be present… the Creative Directors, Account Execs, and many important others.
The meeting took place in a conference room with several chairs and a grand table. Everyone arrived, making themselves comfortable at the many comfortable chairs around the table. Everyone, except for one executive… Lady from the Account Side.
Finally, just as the meeting was about to start, Lady from the Account Side arrived. She looked around the room. Much to her dismay, every seat was taken.
She remarked, “Well, then. Where am I supposed to sit?”
One of the Creative Directors offered a solution. “Why don’t you sit on my face?”
Today, Lady from the Account Side enjoys the many riches that she won in the settlement against the agency in her harassment suit. And she lived happily ever after.
The End.
