One line, a regional bank commercial, and they paid me more for the day than my actual job pays for a week. I have been chasing this for three years.

That is the whole post. I just wanted to tell people who would understand why it matters.

    Congratulations. Three years is real persistence and most people do not make it that far.

    The first one is the sweetest. Enjoy it properly before you start worrying about the next one.

    Well done. Now put it on the resume immediately, because a credit is a credit and it changes how the next submission reads.

    I remember mine, a car dealership spot in 2011. I still have the check stub in a drawer.
