The One About Kids These Days
People may have different opinions on this but in some respects kids are way smarter then they used to be. (Please notice the emphasis on some) Perhaps I should be a tad bit clearer. When it comes to stalking their favorite celebrity….kids are pretty darn smart.
When I was a kid and wanted to write my favorite celebrity or get an autograph I would try and find their fan clubs. The closest to a...

The One About the Speechless Mother
I love stage moms. Mostly because they give me a good chuckle every now and then.
Speechless Mother: Good Morning
Me: Good Morning, how may I help you?
Speechless Mother: Hello?
Me: Hello, how may I help you
Speechless Mother: um….
(if you are going to call lady at least know what you are going to say!)
*silence*
(because why should I initiate the conversation when she called me)

Letters of Laughter #2
Breaking news…. THIS JUST IN….
WE LIVE IN THE DIGITAL AGE SO STOP WITH THE HANDWRITTEN LETTERS PEOPLE!!!

The One About Stupid Voice Mails
Part of my job in the morning is listening to any voice mails that are left on the main line and transfer them to the appropriate person. Easy enough. Most of the voice mails are straight forward and from casting directors or casting offices who give all the pertinent information (whose calling, where they are calling from, who they are calling…) but then again there are some dumb voice...

The One About Excuses
I live in LA, I work in LA and something that I have learned from my years in LA is that traffic blows and there is no parking in this town. I feel like people in this town should know these things. Everyone who lives here or who wants to be successful in this town should and needs to know these things. I am speaking directly to all you Hollywood hopefuls!!!
If you have an audition, casting,...

The One About the Wannabe Rapper
People should really do some research before calling numbers that may or may not help their career. It does make for some very interesting telephone conversations. For example, today I had a very interesting conversation with a wannabe rapper.
When I answered the phone immediately this guy “auditioned” for me. He just started rapping original lyrics with his original beats. Basically...

The One About the Reality Star
Oh reality television, how I hate to admit that I love thee. Yes I admit it, I love trashy television and I watch it ALL. You name it I watch it. Bachelor, Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad, Jersey Shore, Teen Mom, anything on Bravo (like Real Housewives or Project Runway), anything on E! (yes all the Kardashian series)… it’s a dirty habit that I should really try and break
Now I may be in...

The One About Wi-Fi
Okay I get it….its 2012
We are a nation reliant upon our electronics and the latest/greatest gadgets out there. We also heavily rely on the internet (don’t even try to deny it because you know it’s true) and have panic attacks when the internet isn’t at light speed or if we are outside of a wi-fi area. First World Problems if you ask me
Anyway I had a woman come in just...

Letters of Laughter
Because the penmanship is a tad bit sub par…. I shall decipher (to the best of ability) what this letter actually reads
To whom it may concern
Hi! I hope you all are doing well! I am writing you all this letter in hopes that you will help answer my questions ok?
Can a man my age (61) with my health problems, (bum left leg, bad right foot, who has to walk slow with a cane!)? Be in movies...

The One About the Interrupting....cow
I do declare that proper phone etiquette is indeed lost on our civilization
Interrupting Cow: Yes I would like to talk to someone about submitting my child for representation
Me: Of course let-

Me: Let me transfer-

Me: Let me transfer-
Interrupting Cow: Come again?

The One About Valentines Day
Oh Valentines day…. the day where stalkers become secret (or not so secret) admirers
Because of the holiday I decided to share with you some fan mail. Now because I do work at a talent agency from time to time we receive fan mail for a clients that we forward on to them. Sometimes though it is just addressed to our agency and I have to open it to see where it goes. This is what I found:

The One About the Pretentious Coffee Snob
I love LA, I honestly do. I know I constantly rant about LA but it’s mostly just the stupidity and awfulness of people that I rant about. Something that I realized about LA that I truly love is the fact that just adjacent to my office building is a Starbucks and it is amazing…expensive but amazing all the same. Also because I work in the building I get some amazing customer service...

The One About Proper Phone Etiquette
I feel like this needs to be taught in school or at the very least come in your cell phone manual
Proper Phone Etiquette direct from an Office Peon:
Speak slowly and clearly (Just because you think highly of yourself and choose to speak fast with a pretentious manner does not make you any more than what you are…a nobody)
Speak at an appropriate decibel level (This means don’t...

The One About the iPhone
I feel as though with each passing day the human race is just getting dumber by the minute. I blame technology and the way it has made our lives easier. Think about it…. kids now a days no longer need to go to a library and research in books or encyclopedias, instead they have wikipedia. No longer do we need to perfect our spelling and grammar when there is spell check.
Dummy: O-M-G!!!!

Drop off d bag: No
Me: I apologize but I cannot accept this without knowing what it is or who its for
Drop off d bag: It’s for your talent agency

The One About Voice Mail
Dear people of the entertainment world…. please stop being impatient babies…signed the Office Peon
Impatient Baby: Ya I need an actor that can portray a 15 year old girl in a film
(okay…. that’s cool….)
*silence*
Impatient Baby: Hello?!?! Do you have an agent that covers that?!?!
(whoa there is no need to put your panties in a bunch lady)
Me: Yes we do. May I...
