Testimonial Time and Getting Screwed

Two auditions over the last several days, both for testimonials. Funny thing, after I was done, I actually wanted to buy the product and service! Hate to admit our dirty little secret, not that you don't already know, but those are "posers" and "fakers" when you see ads with satisfied customers. Well, not all of them...but, most! Anyway, felt good about both the companies so that helps! In fact, I was feeling really good about today's audition so I was happily driving home from Marina del Rey - all good and thinking to myself, "what a great day" - until the driver in front of me, who appeared to be going around a car that unexpectedly made a right turn, actually didn't and I couldn't stop in time, thereby slightly tapping the back of her bumper...enough to leave a small imprint of a little screw from my front license plate on her rear bumper. Back to f-ing reality. Nothing like getting screwed by a screw...If I do get lucky enough to book one of the jobs, the pay will probably be eaten up in "bumper" charges. Whatever...working on a new VO job and get to write as well...should be starting a new infommercial VO job tomorrow...now, if I can just not jump anymore rear ends...okay, you know what I mean! Drive carefully!
