Or, title #2, "Public Relations - Rarely Glamorous." My friend, who is the director of PR where I work, had a lousy Tuesday. She drove a longer commute than normal to attend some meetings she had not planned on. This, after only two hours of sleep because her son was sick all night. Her nanny arrived to save the day, but my friend still had to work all day and try and get her son into the doctor.
When she finally left to go home, after about 8 hours of work, I was notified of an incident - I began gathering more information to see if she would be needed, and when I called to tell her about it, she turned around and started driving back, "just in case." Thus - she left work for the second time, two hours after she left the first time - and still had her long commute and a sick child.
My friend is great at her job and takes it very seriously. She is also, I must add, a fabulous mother. However, as illustrated above, her job is not always (or is rarely) glamorous. She is occasionally on TV, often quoted (and occasionally misquoted) in print. Her name is well known in the industry, and she earns every glamorous moment she experiences.

Yes, she does!!It is a good thing not every day is as lousy as that one--but for her they are rarely any shorter.
