Lights, Camera and [Me In] Action.

October 18, 2007 / by apositivepessimist


So what’s the chance that my place of employment would just happen to be entered into The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas Nursing Home in Kentucky. Then what’s the bloody odds that I would be rostered to work on THE Day of Judgment. Then what’s the freaking chance that I would be selected told I was to be in the “promotional” video. The same video that will be aired on The Awards night in November.

Yes. That was me having to re-enact [the first time the dickhead cameraman wasn’t ready] the placing of my perfectly folded linen onto the linen cart then squinting/frowning into the bright light and smiling…My sister will crack up big-time when she reads this, as she *knows* what I’m like with having my picture taken…[even tho I AM extremely photogenic *cackle, snort*]…let alone moving/talking bloody pictures.

One of the Judges [there were three of the bastids] asked where I was from. I answered Australia and then I went *Woohoo* along with the semi raised/pumping arms/hands in triumph. Did you read that right? Can you see it? Yes! I can’t believe I did THAT either. I’m pretty sure [in hope and hindsight] that the camera was turned off, only because I can’t remember being blinded by that probing light when I did it. But then again, maybe I just got used to it and therefore didn’t notice it.

Another Judge made a comment that I didn’t quite hear so I said “sorry?”, he repeated it, I replied but I don’t remember what I said exactly but it must have been good as it cracked everyone up. So much so, that the Administrator later said I was the STAR…yeah STAR BAYBEE…of the afternoon.

Hopefully this STAR will be rewarded by more hours and health insurance in the near future. Which is a distinct possibility as I am supposedly on their books as being full-time, which would be the first time ever for the Laundry department. What can I say. I kick arse in laundering shitty and pissy [can’t forget the pissy] linen. Then again, seeing my fellow laundresses in action [remember Pottie] that’s not saying much now is it.

Today when the Administrator asked how the SuperStar was…notice I’ve been elevated to sooper stardom…I told him I did have trouble entering the Nursing Home door this morning, due to my new fat head.

HaHa!

    Yes. Now I someone else who knows what it's like to be "volunteered" to be in a video. In my case it was a TV commercial. Of course I was the star, but they didn't know THAT at the time though...[ROLLEYES]

    Only in the states a short time and you're already a sooper star! Way to go girl! [THUMBUP] When the health department recently had a grand remodeling open house complete with the TV news cameras, the maintenance department got filmed pushing nasty, old toilets on carts across the parking lot! [THUMBUP] I guess we're on the other end of the spectrum from sooper star! [LOL] [THUMBUP] Keep up the sooper job you're doing! [THUMBUP] [HEART]
