I had an audition today for another commercial. I really, really, don’t think I’ll get this one, but it would be nice if I did. Why? Because this ad would play nationwide in the good ol’ US-of-A, that’s why. I’d never see it, but anyone over on that side of the puddle who watched daytime TV would get to see me robbing a bank in order to sell plastic bags. For the same reason, the gig would also pay a lot. One day of work would pay the rent for half a year, minimum.
Alas, this gig will not come to me. We auditioned in pairs, and while I was not particularly sparkling, my partner was particularly flat. Now, in hindsight, I know exactly what I should have done to make the situation work, but that’s what hindsight is all about.
Many of you will see this commercial, and I will not be in it. Oh, well.
Mayhaps your partner’s flatness will increase your sparkle, and the selectors will select individuals to make new partnerships?
Ah, a reason not to zap the commercials in my daytime drama as I plod, walk, jog, whatever, on my treadmill.
I hope you DO get the job!
If that falls through, we can always go back to just plain robbing banks.
Nah, ’cause banks are NOT where the money is these days. If you want lots of cash, you need to rob some drug lords.
Actually here it’s the post office that has all the money. That’s what we should be robbing!
