Hollywood Rolodex

Did I ever tell you about one of my first jobs in Hollywood?

As a personal assistant to one of the stars, I was tasked with making copies of an old-fashioned rolodex that was bigger than my head.

Staring at it, and being the type A personality that I am only at work, I studied and contemplated the best and most efficient way to begin and print an exact replica as quickly as possible since my list of To Do's that week was a month long.

Now older and wiser, I realize sometimes having fun at work beats everything.

I should have used the rolodex for its rightful purpose..

Afterall, crank calling Hilary and Bill Clinton, Chris Rock and John Cusack would have been a lot more fun.

Tabloidism

The online media tracks the stories that get the most hits and regurgitates those to us over and over.

None of us can hide behind any pretense when we see that the most prominent stories are of celebs like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. You know that you click the entertainment stories first even if you don’t admit it to anyone.

Since most of us spend more time with our computers than our spouses or friends, and have little time to change the world in any other way, I call upon you my brothers and sisters to at least fake it and click on the stories of the world news, politics and business world first. If that is asking too much, the very least you can do is to click on the Brangelina stories of goodwill so it appears that we all have more depth.

Don’t make me create a watchdog group and send you email petitions to do it.

Then I won’t have time to keep up with Michael Phelps saga.
