Well for a change I was told by my friend Che to write some articles that are readable unlike my previous blogs, and I was kind of shocked by his idea of writing something meaningful, I mean according to me I was writing quite meaningful articles. Whatever, I thought and so I am starting this whole new blog that is going to describe my adventures, misadventures and everything in between.
Now listening to all this I am flushed by my inability of writing good things that people can read, I was thinking on the topic to write about. Sitting in the office drooling over all the creative people around me I am clueless on what do I write about. I open a Microsoft word document to at least write down something than show it over and then publish it online. But the question still remains ‘What do I write about’? Nothing in mind I think of going home and thinking about it. I forgot to mention one important thing over here; I have just joined a new job as a trainee copywriter, without actually having any idea on what I am supposed to do. Here is the fun part though first day of my job and I have been assigned some work, my work is to prepare dumb quizzes. I am really good at that with an IQ of 10 year old, now don’t get me wrong but people do get pissed off when I ask stupid questions or give out of the box suggestions.
The funny part of my job is that when someone tells me to do some work on anything it has most probably been passed on by everyone else or they are making fool out of me. In other words suppose you have a script and it’s ready to go on the floor with the casting director rolling to sign up the actors, it’s like the role is devised probably for Tom Cruise, Edward Norton or Johnny Depp and when everyone turns the role down what they usually do is turn up to Charlie Sheen and make him understand that the role was especially written for him.
I am Charlie Sheen of my office.
3 days have passed and the only thing I have done is to make three quizzes, it’s not that I am complaining about anything, on the contrary I have just developed a liking towards the job of a copy writer. Well I still am supposed to come up with something that I can rant about or to be precise something that I can write about without actually turning people away from my blog. I think I will have to go and ask Che again on what do I write about or maybe someone else who might just tickle my funny bone if there is one. Let’s see how it turns out. Till then I think I will be gone.
