A kick in the head
I am now at a position in the company where people actually depend on me for results. Where I'm working one-on-one with the company's CEO and dealing as a direct contact with our clients. I'll be glued to the cell phone a lot (well, a lot more than I am right now, anyway) and probably running out of class to take important calls. Film shoots will probably be the only times I'll be fully free from the clutches of the corporate world, since I will not allow a production to be stalled because of work. Other than that, I am to be there-- available-- at all times, obsequious, attentive, charming, witty. The fact that someone believed in me enough to put me in this position is as startling as it is flattering. With any luck, I won't fuck this up like I have every opportunity that's been placed in my lap as of late.

This seems fun. I can do this. This seems easy. I can do this. I am a professional.

Obsequious at all times? Dude, you may need to put on extra deodorant.

(PS: I'm kinda proud of you.)
