I'm Not Going to Do This Any More

Last night I acted as auctioneer for the local Chamber of Commerce live auction...I'm not an auctioneer, but people have fun and open their wallets when I do my best imitation of a professional. It's hard work...I don't enjoy it...and I'm old enough (in spades) to not continue doing things I don't enjoy...so last night was my final auction (probably).

The worst part of last night's auction was the evening hours. I get up and run at 4:00 am every morning...that makes anything in the later hours of the evening (and by later hours I mean anything after 7:00pm) very difficult...even when there's alcohol involved.

The problem is, I enjoy being in front of large crowds; I like making people laugh, and I have this huge ego, all of which get stroked when I do things like the Chamber auction. Oh well, I'll probably say yes again next year.

I far prefer to stay in my studio and do my voiceovers, work on my website www.smooth-male-voiceover-talent.com (which I've ignored for three years), or find opportunities as keynote speaker for breakfast meetings. So, load me with work and I'll be happy.
