Hey, Sana here.

Just wanted to let you know that for the next month,

we're going to be playing episodes from our archives while the show goes on hiatus,

because I'm off to Canada to visit family.

But we've got four excellent episodes coming for you, and this first one

is a fun one.

So I worked at this advertising creative agency, and they did this annual award ceremony where they

award people for, I don't know, like funny things or silly things, and I was sort of sitting

in the audience, obviously not wanting attention,

but sort of waiting for my award because I worked really hard at this job. I'd like stayed late.

You know, I'd given like so much to it. And near the end of the ceremony, they finally started

announcing this award and it was for like the person who gave their life over to it and stayed

really late and like had no life because they worked so much. to it and stayed really late. The person who was sold this, solved this job.

And, like, had no life because they worked so much.

And it was the Midnight Oil Award.

The Midnight Oil Award goes to Jessica Pan.

And they thought it was this, like, huge compliment.

And I was so offended and so hurt by it because I wanted to be noticed for creativity or my ideas or things like that.

You don't want to be rewarded just for like staying late at work.

It's really embarrassing.

And that was one of the things that sort of tipped me off the edge, really.
