Got a note from a client I do IVRs for this morning- wanted me to give her a quote on an upcoming gig. No prob...I downloaded the file to get the word count in order to calculate the quote.

The word count was 1492....it's Columbus Day....Get it?

Pretty cool, huh? cool

Moe - I totally agree! and Diane - that's an awesome question...perhaps it will be this day next year as apparently the whole Columbus day thing has now become politically incorrect. Gasp

But if they (whoever they are) get rid of Christopher Columbus Day then how are all of the retail stores going to have their Big Christopher Columbus Day sales? Leif Erikkson Day sales just sounds wrong.

However it would mean more VO work since all of the commercials would need to be updated. Money Mouth

Too bad it wasn't the 4th of July. You could probably charge more for a job with 1776 words.
