My company does some work for the Big Three. And our program has been getting a lot of attention lately, since we're the first in the industry that's done it, and the largest program of it's kind.

So the client decided they wanted to do a "behind the scenes/day in the life" type documentary thing to show their employees.

Three of us got chosen to get interviewed. We'd done a spot for a local newscast a few months back, but I was still nervous. This is a lot bigger - it's going out online and it may become a part of their national advertising as well.

The interviewer and camera guy met with us at 9 this morning. We had our area set up, and got rolling.

They did a lot of "b-side" stuff first : shots of us doing our job, stuff like that. Then they started with the interviews.

I was so nervous! And at one point, made a total dork of myself with my big ole' goofy laugh. And I think they'll use it, since after I spoke (and then laughed) the camera guy and interviewer started laughing and then asked me to repeat myself so they could get a better shot of me saying it.
Oh, lord. Of course, Queen Dork. And I think the laugh was even worse the second time.

It took five hours, but was so much fun! I can't wait to see how it turns out. Of course I'm sure I'll hate seeing myself on camera - but seeing my two coworkers and supe will be so exciting! I'm so proud of our team. And this could be really huge for both the client & my company.

We finally went to lunch at two, gorged ourselves, and then it was back to work for an hour before we had another meeting.

So after my walk home, I am wiped. Wiped like I haven't been in a while.

I think it's time to curl up with my honey and watch some crappy tv. Mmm... couch.

Hope you all had a great day, too!
