~trial by fire~

June 1st, 2010

Well, no, no one set a hideous, dangerous judicium Dei task before me, to determine my innocence.
Just a grabby headline. Probably should use an exclamation mark too.

I guess more accurate would be “hit the ground running!” this indeed, I have done,
while also spying into Berliner’s flats on my morning commute.

Now I emerge from a month-long, 24/7 gig:
my first as a copywriter and editor in the greenest, most graffitied city in Europe.

I worked in that peaked building perched on the Spree in photo above and below.
It is next to Universal Music, and swanky.

The commute was very trolley-ride. All elevated urban trains make me think of toy towns.
These photos were made while riding the U1 train, which I rode to the end.

I have learned much about Emotional Selling Points and hyphen usage
and why copywriters who are also aspiring novelists don’t blog much.

I joined a team of very kind, media savvy German ladies (and some gents) and origami Pegasus.
With this fleet, we got the job done.

Above is my favorite florist, inside our local train station, Wittenbergplatz Bahnhof, opened 1902.
Below are “hooray, you finished your gig!” peonies.

Now on to pondering the pressing matters of life, results of which will soon be revealed.
Having witnessed the double-ensembled fellows below, and the moment when a 3-piece band came on the train and mr. denim jacket revealed his intentions to propose to professor cardigan, I’m feeling lucky.
