Hope
Today, my friends, is a very important day. Why? Because today I was assigned my first-ever meaningful task here at Big Screens 'R' Us. In fact, I'm presently taking a break from this very task to document it in my weblog.
I'm writing my very first press release! Go ahead, roll your eyes, but it's a big deal, considering 97% of my work (when I have work) revolves around scheduling appointments (not mine), recording press mentions, and scrubbing toilets (figurative, figurative). And while I regularly edit releases that my boss drafts, I haven't--until now--been able to write one. Of course it's frustrating, for the reason that one is given only so much creative flex-room in putting these things together. Pretty formulaic. But still, mark my word: I will find a way to sneak in a crazy adjective or two. That's right, I'll stick it to you, impressive; you, outstanding; you, unprecedented; and you--especially you--exciting. Death to boring adjectives!
