I don't know where to begin with this one because if I don't start off right, then the people that this blog entry is for are going to miss it. (Oops, too late! I was just informed that those people are gone already!)
*EXPLOSION* (just trying to keep your interest)
That's right, this one's for you non-readers out there who won't be reading this. (For those who are readers, please feel free to skip this entry as it doesn't apply to you.)
*FREE SEX*
Look, I get that most of you are from the MTV/ADD generation with attention spans of about .5 seconds. That's cool. I'm ok with that and I'm sure you're all perfectly nice people. So this entry doesn't mean I don't like you!
*ON SALE NOW*
The problem is that I tend to be a very thorough person for a reason. For example, when I send out bulletins, the information you need is in there. Seriously. It's there. That may sound crazy, but you just have to read it to find out. :)
*YOU MAY ALREADY BE A WINNER!*
It's just a little strange to me when I send out a bulletin titled "I offer actors/models free photo shoot opportunities" or one for hair & make-up artists (which contain all the information & instruction one needs to act on something within the bulletin), to suddenly get emails from half a dozen a full dozen people asking me how to get on my short notice list or where they need to go. Or people requesting that I add them. Or asking me to personally keep them in the loop anytime an opportunity presents itself. Or even tell me that they have a friend who might be interested in an opportunity and I should call them.
*VOTE OR DIE*
And it's strange because I put all the information people need to do the thing they're asking about in the message they supposedly read. And it probably took the person longer to write to me to ask the question than it would've for them to look for the information in my bulletin that they're asking about.
*MORE FREE SEX* (hey, it worked the first time)
And so I usually have to respond telling people, in some hopefully clever fashion, that the answer to the question they're asking is actually in the bulletin they're asking about.
*HEY LOOK, IT'S BRAD PITT!*
See, the thing is, you won't know what I've read if you don't read it. And if you don't read what I write, you won't know what I wrote. (I may not have worded that correctly, but I'm sure there's a catch 22 in there somewhere.)
Don't misread my tone. I'm absolutely cool with all of it and this is simply meant to be some light (but informative) reading for some people who probably won't actually read it. Which is fine (the world moves on). But if it helps just one person realize that the answers to their questions may actually exist in the words on the page that they're asking about, it'll help make the system a bit more efficient. :)
And if not, at least I got to express myself while I'm waiting for my Tylenol Flu to kick in. :)
