Field Notes Inside an Integrated Communications Agency

There is a point at work and especially being a Web producer when you reach the ultimate stress level, the apex of the vortex of stress. Many things can cause this and most days you are hovering at some level of stress. It isn't a bad thing, most days it's the adrenaline that gets your job done right, gives the perfect creative spark to a meeting or the urge to buy the whole office cupcakes.

But moments do exist when you could snap just if someone asks you what time it is. We all get to that point, it's okay. It's not about how stressful a project was or how crazy the timeline was, it's about the team that helps you get the finished project out. As crazy as it all seems at the time I always look back at those moments and am thankful because it made us all work better and harder together.

I salute you stress vortex, you make my job interesting and you make me realize how lucky I am to have a team that works like a well oiled machine.
