TIL our agency had to pick between a $5k retainer or a project fee for a new e-commerce client.

Disagree with the project fee start. It puts you in a weak spot from day one when you need to pay bills. A retainer sets the right tone and keeps your business healthy.

TIL our agency's Facebook ad got flagged for a weird reason in Phoenix last Tuesday

Wait, how does the word 'fresh' even get flagged for weight loss? I mean, it's a bakery ad, not a diet pill. Maybe the system just picks up on certain words and goes overboard sometimes.

My library's archive had a 1980s productivity pamphlet that basically described bullet journaling

Lab notebooks from the 90s, @gibson.avery? That's wild.

Working on that dig in southern Utah back in 2015 completely changed how I handle surface surveys

Totally get what you mean about tech flipping a field method. I had a similar thing on a volunteer survey where we switched from paper maps to a simple drone for overview shots. Seeing the layout from above in real time on a phone showed us a subtle ridge line we'd walked right past that was full of artifacts.

Had a client ask for a 'simple trim' and then pull out a picture of a completely different haircut

Spot on with asking for a description. It cuts right through the vague ideas. I mix that with what vera_lewis2 said about multiple photos. If their words don't match the common thread in the pictures, you know they're just picking random stuff they saw online. It saves everyone from a bad result later. You're basically making them prove they know what they actually want.
