So, I was updating my Core Talent resume because I have an audition for a beer commercial on Tuesday when I decided to google my last two jobs and see if any pics that they took might have shown up on their website or in an ad.   What I didn’t expect is that I would be on the freakin’ front ????????page.

How funny is that?  I remember it being a fun shoot inside a real office building where we had to wait for real traders to finish working before we could start taking pictures. Notice that nobody is smiling because we are serious stock traders. I means business!

All that stuff you see on the computer screens was done in post.  We were either staring at black or just generic screens full of gobbledy gook.  I have a pencil in my hand and I remember drawing a snoopy cartoon saying “Sell! Sell!” on the real trader’s notebooks about 20 pages deep. He or she should have a nice surprise in about a month.

Wow! One little mention on TV and my website exploded! So many nice people leaving a bunch of comments or at least checking out the poll about my decision to leave Fox 4. I wish I had put funnier options on there but 47% said that “yes, I made the right decision but they wish I was still on TV.” 27% said, “yes, 1 job, reg hours and good pay, duh!” which is really almost the same thing as the first one. My favorite answer, “No, I need you to be on TV so you can dance, monkey boy!” came in third.  I thought about  starting my own  morning news show from my house but I can’t get any advertisers interested in my business plan.

Plus I don’t have any cameras or  broadcast equipment.  Note to self:  revise business plan.

Speaking of dancing,  when I was out celebrating/commiserating this past Friday night (thank you Michelle and Kalina and everybody else who came out!)  and there was a club on McKinney near the MAT that had 80s music and a line out the door. Interesting….I think I needs to get my 80s dance on. Freeze…….rock. Anybody?

New job starts tomorrow. More lowdown on that coming up later this week. Should be interesting.  Oh, and with my new schedule, I am curious about what time people go to bed so check out the poll on the right side and let me know.
