I don't normally visit the Off-Topic forum all that much, but I'm so excited right now. After over two months of no steady income, I will be starting a new job at 8:30am on Monday!

For those interested, I'll be writing copy for an advertising firm that markets on-hold music and messages around the U.S.

!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "writing copy" that thing where you write what the on-hold messages are supposed to say?

Jiggly and CT nailed it. I'm writing the little ads that come up while you're on hold. During my little audition writing session, I ended up writing stuff like, "Did you know that the best thing you can do for your teeth is a regular checkup at a dentist?" and "No one should have to go through life embarrassed by their own smile!" It was for a dentist, of course.

And despite how silly that was, I agree with CT so far; it sounds fun to me, too. (crosses fingers)

And: Thanks, y'all!

Hey ya'll, did you see that? Too bad Svenmonkey didn't know they had dammed the river and drained it for dredging... Maybe he'll make it...

In an official, commercial-sounding voice:

"More and more people are discovering the benefits of an occasional rock to the head. Everything from blindness, to internal bleeding, to death can be yours by simply taking the plunge into extreme mineral-cranial contact! Bob Dylan's words still ring true: Everybody must get stoned!"
