Brutal.
Painful to see. We laid out a table full of them. Ideas that is. They were slaughtered like a fat chicken at purdue farms. We prefaced our meeting with the fact that these were very early thoughts - didn't matter.
It was as if Mike and Luker was playing good cop bad cop.
Mike was good cop - he says it was bad.
Luker was bad cop - he says it was bad and is unworthy of their presence.
Unforgiving.
It felt good though. It let me know I'm among greatness. It was like calibrating what the rest of my career will be like. I sat for 5 minutes on the couch after and thought...how would I come back.
All I could think is, "I don't know what I'm doing." What the hell did I go to school for...........
Steve Luker used to be long time partners with Mark Fenske, my professor at the VCU Adcenter. Fenske actually spoke positively about Luker, which is a very rare occasion. This makes me believe I can trust Luker's opinions in another realm than I'm used to. As Fenske was the kind of guy to mentally grab you by the ear and lead you to enlightenment.
.......... but there on the couch, I got it.
Today is day one of school and tomorrow will be day one as well.
