Star Struck again!

Working at home can be quite monotonous some days. Same old, same old. However, some days can be truly extraordinary. Like when you answer the phone and there is a celebrity on the other end of the line. Your heart skips a beat (or two) and you try to simply make words come out in a cohesive sentence. Nothing you can do prepares you for that moment. The thought "just be professional" keeps running through my head. Candice Michelle was her name. Now unless you are a die hard playboy fan or into women's wrestling, you may not recognize the name. I didn't. But then again, unless it's Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks, I probably won't recognize any other celebrity name either. I had to IM our marketing director (while I was on the phone no less) to find out who this person was. Of course she knew, and that is why she works for us! Long story short, we chatted for awhile and helped her work out which necklace will work for what she is trying to accomplish. Sweetheart of a gal and used a beautiful photo for her necklace. I am anxious to get started on it and hear her reaction when she receives it. I know this photo holds special meaning for her. The moral of the story is that: 1) You never know who might be calling so always answer in a professional manner and be ready for anything. 2) When dealing with a celebrity, treat them as first class as you would any other client, and vice versa. 3) Keep in mind the connections. If there is one order to go the extra mile on and make it Perfect, this would be it.

While not every day is exciting, this was the little bit I needed I push through these tougher times and make the best of it. It's not every day I can say that I spoke with a Playboy Bunny!
