Today was one of those days where certain facets of my career can still surprise me.I was asked by a colleague to be in a little video for a new business pitch. Barely five minutes later, I was sitting on a sofa in front of a video camera, holding hands with a male colleague I had never spoken to before, pretending we had been married for 10 years, and talking intimately about his erectile disfunction, the stress it caused in our marriage and what a relief it was to learn the cause of the problem and that it wasn't me. All improvised, of course. And after a minute and a half of drama fit for a "Lifetime for Women" made-for-TV movie (and in just one take I might add with not so much as a smirk), we released hands and went back to our desks.
All in a day's work.
