Manager for an interactive ad agency.

My day start around8.30 when I wake up. I have to put in at least 9-10 hours of sleep, because otherwise I'm useless. I wash myself and leave for work around 9-9.30. I reach my offcie around 10, and most of the staff is there. I start the day reading through various emails. After that I usually have to type some stuff up, create some promos, talk with a dozen people and so on. My wrok cycle is 15-15, which means I work 15 minutes, and then I spend the next 15 minutes on smoking, reading FARK, Slasdot and TFP or generally socializing. After 12, I usually leave the office and drive downtown to attend meetings, pick up promo stuff and so on. I also grab something to eat and drink a coffee in a nice bar (if I happen to stumble upon one). I'm back at the office around 14 (that's... umm... I think 2 pm) and continue on my work. This is when I do most of the manial taks - coordinate stuff going online, and so on. My day at the office is usually finished by 18, though on tough days I stay till 21-22. Im usually home by 18.30. This is when I take a shower and eat a bit. After that, my freelance work hours start. This is when I prepare materials for my own clients - translations, copwriting and PR stuff. Im finnished by 24. Sometimes I have to drive down to a club in the downtown to talk with the owner, since he is one of our clients. This means that I have to be there at 22 and stay for an hur or two. This usually happens on saturdays. Also on saturdays, and fridays, I attend various promo events. This usually takes up the whole day. It's not bad, since most of the time I sit in a vip lounge a get free stuff and alcohol, but it takes up my weekend. If I happen not to work during the weekend, I drive out of town to study (I'm completing my MA in national security and I have no clue what I'm gonna dco with that). This takes up saturday and sunday. When I have a free evening, I play with my band. This takes up around 3 hours, so I'm back home around 1 AM. Sounds bad, but in trouth I'm not doing as much stuff during that time as I really could. Kinda a slacker.
