I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille.

The local cable company will be here in one hour to film my company for a special on the cable access channel. :scared:

I have to be on camera, unfortunately. I begged the Fiscal Officer for an expense voucher for hair, makeup, wardrobe, and yes, even liposuction. But that bastard held firm, and I've had to do everything myself! I simply cannot work with these people! *sniff*

Wish me luck, or at least pray that I don't say anything incredibly stupid!

4. By lunch time it will be all over.

But maybe if I'm a smash hit, we can do lunch and discuss my next project!

2. Be nice to the crew, relax, and have fun

Offer to help with postproduction, then you can get all of the bad shots out of the final edit!

The only thing you have to worry about is that those public access channels sometimes rerun those things for YEARS...you could be sitting on your ass ten months from now, change the channel and see yourself!

3. Well, one good thing is that I don't live in the town where I work.

My town has a different cable provider than the one where I work, so theoretically I never have to see this at all. But I'm sure some jag-off here will tape it and bring it in for all to see.

Wonder if I can demand residuals?
