Have you ever happened across a blog post or a tweet that simply made you laugh for its relativity to your own profession, obsessions, quirks or pastimes? This was so funny and, for me, so true that I felt the need to share it – untouched, unedited, verbatim.
To all my PR peers – be honest…..isn’t this you too?
10. During a date you are tweeting a reporter about a new pooper scooper.
9. A TV assignment editor threatens to break your dialing finger if you call again on deadline.
8. You didn’t take a single public relations course before entering the field.
7. Your friends become nauseous when you want to talk about another new media placement.
6. You sent a pitch to editor Jim Harris and realized it was Jill Harrison.
5. You lost a PR job because you told the recruiter that you “like people.”
4. You get excited when anyone at The New York Times takes your call.
3. At 4 a.m. you’re at a TV station for an early morning segment.
2. You have a PR budget that will just about cover a large latte.
1. Your mother still doesn’t understand what you do for a living.
