The Diva in the Office

Posted Mar 2011

9 pm, a quick glance at my phone during my evening event - Hmmm, a message from my Power-Point Client. Niiiice.

10 pm, a break during my evening event - I listen to the message: Hey Alison, can you give me a call?

What? No accolades? I thought he was going to be saying Thank You for the excellent job I had done. "Can you give me a call" doesn't sound wow happy excited as I expected him to be... me, stressed as I go back to the event - What could it be??? I did an excellent job for him. And on such little notice...... what could he expect????

The first chance I get, I call him back. Paraphrased, of course, but here's the gist of the conversation:

client: fabulous. It's a pleasure to work with you. excellent work. listen, something about postponed trip to Washington D.C....... and...... we have another day. I want to go ahead with the photo manipulation I mentioned previously.........

whew - now, that's more like it. Happy to be appreciated, but I'm wondering When I'd be able to do another picture today. I Prefer at least a week for each face. But I want the job. I need the money, I like the work..........

But I'm scheduled to be at a Face-Painting job before 10 a.m. - Got to find the place, set up........... Then, a personal appointment that day. So, well, I figure I'll do the job when I get in at night. But the client keeps talking - he's so excited. Makes me smile to think...........

And now he's talking about another Caricature. Manicure, pedicure, diva, lingo, Chanel suit (ummm, what's that??? I heard of them, but I don't think I ever had one....)

So now it's 2 pictures. Today. Oh, will the fun never cease?

There's so much going on in everyone's lives. So many people so active. Presentations, Office Events, Engagement Parties, Birthday Parties, the Yearly Bar-b-Que..... and me. Thrown into it all. Running between the Yearly Corporate Party to the Power-Point-Presentation with the 34 people in the Office to the 5-year-old's Party with 45 kids at the Gymnastics Place and back to the Power-Point Presentation, my own exciting life in between with friends and love and relocations and renovations......

Here's what I did:

BTW - along with posting this funny picture, I want to make it clear that it was just a joke - a person caught in a candid photo. He's actually a valued member of his team.
