Poo Man Group

I spent a few days in Vegas on a Sales Retreat and we had the choice between Blue Man Group or Barry Manilow. I picked Blue Man since I am a little too young for Barry and have never seen Blue Man Group. I made the WRONG choice. The show was so boring and slow. They spent half the time peering into the audience with their creepy eyes and then looking back at each other. They even had a skit where they pulled someone out of the audience and ate Twinkies. This skit took 20 minutes if that gives you a clue into my disappointment. Needless to say, I was very glad I did not pay for the ticket.

Oh Mandy, You came and you gave without taking, But I sent you away. Oh, Mandy

Grandpa Lyman's Prescription

Do you ever have one of those terable, horible, no good, very bad days that turns into weeks, and is now hovering around a month. Things have been pretty bad lately. I keep having my breaking point as usual, but this time I don't have enough time inbetween for the rebuilding before the breakdown again. I think the highlight of this bad month happened today. I had a meeting with the COO of my company to talk about some of my pains and I was so tired and frusterated that I could not stop crying which in turn made me more frusterated. As I sat there and tried to gain my composure by focusing on something else besides the situation I heard it. Barry White singing in the back ground. Yep, my COO was listening to his Barry White CD. I don't know what it means, but it did not stop the crying.

So tonight I am taking my Grandpa Lyman's perscription for life: Two asprin and off to bed.

Hollywood is Calling

Today when I came into work, I was asked to do a voice over for a phone campaign. I was quite surprised they asked me because I feel like I sound 12 and talk too fast. They gave me the script and I was a little nervous. I had to say Swedish Massage about 10 times. You try saying it 10 times fast and see how it comes out.

I sat at my desk and read it quite a few times as I tried to avoide the mockery from the guys around me. Long story short, I had to run to a meeting and they ended up using someone else. Voice over is NOT one of my talents.

Later in the day, I was sent a group of TV talent to choose from for a TV spot I am helping my client produce. I was reviewing that talent when I saw a guy I went to high school with. Well, actually I went to school with his older brother and use to babysit him.

Small world. I think Hollywood is trying to tell me something. I will not make it big, but someone I know will.
