I am going slightly crazy 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6 switch

“How”. I learned a few weeks ago that that’s roughly the Anglicized way of saying yawn in Thai. As 5 am rolled around the clock I picked my tired ass out of bed to get ready. With a 6 am call time I couldn’t take public transit so I had to rely on the pink little buggies with guys that look at you funny. Either way, off into a cab I jumped and ventured to Cyberworld. With a name reminiscent of an ominous skynet takeover, I had some skepticism going in.

Met with big smiles I could only have been in Thailand or surrounded by people drinking too much red bull. Off to the 44^th floor, I started to feel a little different. I was cast as a feature for the role in the commercial, which quickly became evident by my treatment.  While all the extras (15 of them) were told to stay in one corner, I roamed freely and was provided with fresh ground espresso (extras were given that shitty instant mixed stuff), and provided with fresh fruit. A hairstylist was brought in specifically for me and I had 2 people waiting on my every need. For me this was a very odd feeling. I truly felt like some sort of big shot.

Conversely I could feel animosity from the extras towards me. To start the day it was very difficult for me to get a conversation going with one of the 15 english speaking extras, like I was an outcast or something. Eventually they warmed up and I chatted about UFC with one of them.  

My first TVC of the season (took long enough eh?) was a wild one. Slowly going crazy am I 6,5,4,3,2,1 switch. Starting with papers flying around me like a tornado, then seeing double triple and quadruple vision of my boss yelling at me and capped off with my computer mouse turning into a frenzy of mice. It would be a rough day int he office for anyone. Unless of course you had these wonderful vitamins.  

As I was portraying this young businessman slowly going crazy I couldn't help but sing a song in my head, most of you won't know this if you aren't from Canada, or if you were born much after me.
