me, mama
I am a mother, by profession.
Every day, I give birth to a new life (at times, also twins and triplets). The labour pain, the delivery blues and the excitement of seeing the newborn - it's all there. But the fun is... I get paid for it (sometimes, they also award me for my efforts). Although, I still dirge for some maternity leave!
Advertising is the closest one can get to discovering motherhood. The servicing guys pump you daily (with briefs), in the middle of the night you conceive (the idea), it gets bigger inside you as you labour out (on the Mac), on the day of delivery, you are equally excited and tensed (at the presentation) and when everyone praises your baby (I mean, work), you are the proudest person of the day.
Yes, I also create advertising campaigns, by profession.
