My new job

August 18th, 2008 (09:59 pm)

It's kind of interesting at my new job ... the change from editing to writing is a lot different, but the biggest difference is getting used to my co-workers.

To illustrate my point, go to www.youtube.com, type in "libparks" and click on "The World."

This is a teaser trailer for our company's pro-recycling video campaign. I had to film my section on Sunday, in which I am sitting calmly on the beach, sipping a cup of coffee and reading our paper. Joe (crime reporter) walks up, dressed up as the trash monster, and tells me I should litter instead of recycling my cup. When I protest, he pulls out a real machete and chases me across the beach. This is supposed to be illustrative of what will happen in 10 years if we stop recycling.

Upside to all this is that I still looked decently thin on camera. :) Downside is that I laughed uncontrollably through the whole thing. I'm not sure acting is my forte.

Tomorrow I have to write the arrest log and Quorum Court articles. Wednesday I'm going around town to the paint your own pottery studios to do a feature. Thursday, who knows.

As I told you before, that trailer is bizarre. I wonder if the rest of them will be as bizarre. Your episode sounds pretty strange. I gotta say, though, if recycling will stop trash monsters from chasing people with machetes, maybe it's a good idea to keep doing that.

Of course you still looked decently thin on camera. That's because you are, in fact, thin.

Quorum Court...ugh. My sympathies.
