So yeah, I have another job besides doing the jewelry thing...I work at a sweet little Chicago shop shooting photos for the website, and doing merchandise displays in the windows and throughout the store. It's a great gig...I can be creative, I work with some really great people, and, oh yeah, I get paid, which is pretty nice too.
Anyway, I was at my "other" work today shooting photos for our site. I had one eye on my work and the other on the door...in such a small place you have to be able to multitask...shoot photos, greet customers, change a lightbulb, troubleshoot the computer...you know how it is. So, there I was shooting when Joan Cusack walks in.
I have to say that I'm not that "star struck" kind of girl. I don't lose my head, I act like I don't know who someone is, I just play it cool. I figure, they're sick of that, and probably would rather not be bothered, so I just act like they're anyone else, because generally to me they are like anyone else. But this is Joan Cusack, and I really like Joan Cusack. I tell myself not to be an ass, to just be cool...I can usually pull it off, but for some reason having Joan hanging out in the store while I was trying to shoot photos really shook me up. We exchanged a few trivial niceties, but not much more than that.
Wow, Joan, pretty cool.
