I was an account guy and worked on Channel 7 in New York and they told me that my full account team, including creative, should at least have their station on all day. We all found it to be an annoying distraction. :-)View From Madison Avenuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133010500698814644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575334444752638591.post-34072954038734455182014-06-24T15:52:48.146-04:002014-06-24T15:52:48.146-04:00I once (long time ago) interviewed for the managem...I once (long time ago) interviewed for the management training program at one of the 3 networks. 3 out of 5 interviews took place in offices that were only lit by large TV's with the sound turned down.Philip Emmanuelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06659391371292932583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575334444752638591.post-15935550511095502492014-06-24T11:45:25.678-04:002014-06-24T11:45:25.678-04:00@Unknown.

I once worked with a guy who had a girlfriend. Both showed up at the office one afternoon. Each knew about the other, but they had never met before. What followed was really funny to everyone else except the three people involved.View From Madison Avenuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133010500698814644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575334444752638591.post-44059095412293651382014-06-24T11:33:32.201-04:002014-06-24T11:33:32.201-04:00What about crazies I have worked with?
