Rub-A-Dub
For those of you who follow my blogging activity - it's been a while since I've posted.
My life has been very busy lately. This year one of our main clients at work upped their budget, which means - we're doing a TON more production for them. Basically, repeatedly through the month I'm either writing a script, begging the client to approve it, driving an hour north to shoot, or taking the completed spot back up to them for final approval. Then (and only then), does it go out to the television stations. It's a constant cycle... for just ONE of our clients.
In terms of my personal life - I've been going much slower. I am spending a lot of time at home... reading, resting, etc. It has been very nice. Tonight is an exception. I'm leaving here in no less than 10 minutes to see a movie with a couple of girlfriends. It will be nice.
I was thinking of what I should mention from the past few days since I posted, and there really isn't much of consequence... EXCEPT this short story...
The other day I had to drive around with the digital camera and take pictures of various signs and banners that a local company made. My boss is putting together a brochure for them, and needed a few stills to showcase their work. The final item to photograph was our work van, so I had to run it through the carwash. (When we changed our logo and tagline, he updated it for us).
I paid my money and proceeded to pull into the carwash. I got in, the green light turned to red and I prepared to sit there freaked out at the shaking and sheer noise volume like I usually do, when I realized the mirrors were sticking out -- FAR. I quickly rolled down the manual window on the driver's side, pulled the mirror in and hopped over to the passenger's side. I rolled the window down and reached out. I could see I had mere seconds before the big brush would be passing by... in the knick of time -- I pulled it in... or so I thought. What I didn't notice was the heavy spray of soap siding the car, just in front of the brushes. Sure enough, it quickly passed by, pelting not only the whole dashboard, but the side of my head. In a moment like that, you just laugh... although it would be much funnier if there was someone there sharing it. I cracked up nonetheless. When i got back to the office, it was evident that the side of my head was still quite wet. Both Mark and my boss Jeannine were laughing before I even had a chance to explain.
Ah, Amber Adventures -- never seem to get old.
