anyone want to hire me with this recommendation?
an email i received from my ex-boss:
Never think for a moment that any slight was intended or I failed to remember who the "design dork" is, or I've forgotten about what a sweet person you are and what you meant to us here, or I just didn't have the time for you to respond. Ok maybe the last one was true and your email fell into the black hole with the other 14,600 emails I've saved somewhere but just can't delete, but it doesn't mean the other things are true. They aren't
If it still matters for you to hear it, you are truly missed too and I do think about you from time to time. You definitely made/left your mark here at Bayside and with me personally. You're a rare breed- hard worker that is good at what she does without attitude and who cares about what she does; sensitive, yet strong; opinionated yet willing to listen and learn.
As far as Mindy Smith goes, over 30 years in the business I've never been prouder of an involvement from the very start of an artist's career and then watching and contributing to it's development into something big, than with Mindy Smith.
I loved this record from the very first time I heard the first song and, like you said, have played it probably a hundred times since and told a thousand people about her.
I have the ad we created together "A first release, an everlasting impression...sure to be critically acclaimed" up on my wall and have sent it to countless people to show them that I've believed in her from the start.
The programs that I created to market her at Tower have been credited with being the spark that got her sales started, as well as the attention drawn to her which ultimately helped to lead to her crossing into the mainstream.
Besides all the radio she's getting around the country, her video was added to VH1 last week and sales are out of control. She'll probably (eventually) go "gold" and I still predict, as I did back in February, that she's going to win a Grammy.Couldn't have done it without you.
