The Carla Bruni Effect Having a soar throat on work days is a pain. I spent most of my after-work time in bed, too tired to do anything else, barely dragging the derrière to my pilates sessions and visiting Sultan & IB at the stables. Yesterday, however, I woke up in the morning feeling like I was in cosmic bliss {for no apparent reason}, I fluttered around my room tip-toeing and turning in circles {again, for no particular reason}, got dressed & grabbed my 'hurro kity' tea mug & run outside of the house to head to work. Yesterday I also had my first voice over experience. Someone in our company decided that my voice would sound good on massive speakers for an event we've been working on for the past few months, what he didn't see coming -of course- is the husky Carla Bruni-ish voice courtesy of the soar throat. I stood there in the recording studio re-hearsing my Arabic & English lines over & over again with different tones: The 181 operator tone, Emirates Airlines tone, Aljazeera news tone, etc lol -- It was kind of fun, but I feel absolutely silly speaking to an audience of zero, and instead, I sat two of my colleagues in front of me & multiplied them in the mirror of my mind to make a room full of people... eventually, the tone became just right ;p I had spent the two days before tweaking a financial model for a concept I know like the back of my hand, & it gutted me so much that the business model wasn't working the way I had hoped for it to do. With the assumed figures, the company would break-even in its 4th year of operations -not so tempting ;( After re-shuffling the numbers & tweaking a few things here and there, I managed to break-even after 2 years, which is not bad at all, but Im still not very happy about the assumptions built in the model. All I want to do is have one GIANT screen that would fit ALL the numbers at once, super optimized research oracle that would give me actual market figures and statistics, ..and well, put my manager on Silent Mode for the time being, until I've fully worked out the numbers to match the ever-so-evolving concept. But you and I know that isn't happening, so for now, I'll just zip it, throw my opinions in the back burner, & work like a Chinese call-center girl: "Yes sir, No sir, Three bags full sir."   Deep-purple for the cadillac/reformer, mauve for the step-barrel, and bubblegum pink for the combo chair <3  The lighter very-pale-purple shade is the color of the walls of my studio On a much brighter note, the leather swatches of the perspective pilates equipment have finally arrived, & I think I have a I'm also on the lookout for thick yoga-mats for outdoors, in case I opt for outdoor wood flooring, & I'm thinking these ones would probably make the cut, or the Ashtanga yoga mat, about 1/4" thick -- & the color blends well with the the studio colors. How come we don't have a SweatyBetty store in town? Labels: Daily, Pilates Heroine, Yogafessional $5 in my moola box | link | email this post |
