I told my rep it was not a good idea, but the photographer I was bidding against was a total charming childless hipster, who I knew was giving the conference call his all....he was a master at such things. So rather than not speak to the a.d. at all, I tried to begin the call.<BR/><BR/>When my kids realized I was trying to multi-task, they began pursueing me at the park, shouting my name as loud as they could. I reacted by walking away from them as fast as I could, trying to keep them within view, but out of earshot....earshot of the potential client.<BR/><BR/>The call was a disaster: the a.d. didn't have kids, the photog I was bidding against had no kids, it was a total uphill battle trying to lead my life, raise the children and pretend that I'm Terry Richardson, taking a moment to snort blow off a model's back while I take the conference call.<BR/><BR/>In the end, miraculously, I got the job. It was simply a matter of my work being more appropriate for the gig. We are shooting the job as I write this. <BR/><BR/>Cocktails at 11:30? Sure, no problems, I'm there. Conference call over Thanksgiving dinner? Sure, no conflict, I'm available. Honey, I need to review this casting asap, can you take the kids to school today? Oh, reschedule the shoot on my anniversary? I'm open!<BR/><BR/>BDGPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3570418979909525883.post-84743331317291265162007-11-25T11:35:00.000-08:002007-11-25T11:35:00.000-08:00Well?
