15 minutes ago I received a call from Mercedes in the USA, a person not the car manufacturer. She asked if I was available for a session 2pm UK time on Friday, I said yes and it was duly put in the diary.

What will I be doing? Dunno, didn't ask. It'll be a job I'm able to do for enough money and it won't take very long.

My problem? I'm obsessed with details!

All the time.

Them: "Would you like us to send you a copy of the script ahead of time?"

Me: "Only if there are words I may not know how to pronounce."

Since she'll be in town, my mother asked about my session tomorrow at a nice outside studio, for a nice production company.

"What will you be doing?"
"I don't know. I just know I'll be doing it at 2:30."
"How much does it pay?"
"I didn't ask."
"OMG! Why not?"
"What would be the point, if I know I'm going to say 'yes' anyway?"

The philosophy - "There are two envelopes one with nothing in it and the other with something, which one would you like?"

Google "mrs hughes" for video of my mother to flesh out your visualization of the conversation.
