Deanna - I CAN IMAGINE.

Let me say, I think you have the coolest job ever. I love NPR and would probably trip over myself meeting any of those people - even though I don't know what the hell they look like. I worship at the altar of Terry Gross.

I have been there. Not the White House, but dealing with people whose political views I abhor. One of my first gigs was working on a political commercial for Bob Packwood back in Oregon. I was operating the boom and wanted to smack his smug, balding head with it.

I was merely a pup, and needed the work.

Feeling pent up, I asked my boss how he dealt with it. He said, "It's a job, man. We're all whores when you get down to it. Just do your job, and vote."
Still, I felt cheap whoring myself out for 125 a day !


Pretty good advice though, I guess.

Anyway, wanna swap jobs for a day ? I will hang out with the NPR people, and you can come to LA and hang out with whatever silly assed movie or TV stars I am working with.

Deal ?
