FUN THINGS ABOUT MY NEW JOB!
In case you were wondering....
1. My boss is panicky (she was slapping her own head the other day over PAPERWORK. Paperwork that doesn't even really concern her. And paperwork is not going to explode. At least I don't think so), a bad communicator ( Her: "did you send it out yet?" me: "What?" Her: "The thing!" Me: "What thing? I'm sorry..." Her: "The.....what?" Me: ..... Her: * throws papers. storms off), and a mumbler on top of that (I can't understand a fucking word she says. Ever. She's a low talker, a mumbler and a fast talker).
2. We have no craft service (some people call that "food"!!) . Which, I know, sounds whiney and spoiled. But keep in mind that we're here 12 hours a day. Minimum. And WAY too busy to leave. One turkey sandwich in all of that time doesn't cut it.
3. It's a low budget movie and we have no money. My job is to tell people "no" when they ask to buy things they need to do their job. Then they stare at me like I'm an idiot and say "But...we need that". At that point this is my strategy: I blink silently and stare back at them. And then they walk away thinking I'm a. mean, or b. retarded. Or both.
4. I don't really have any friends here. I like the girl who is working as my Coordinator well enough. But we're not friends. Not really. And she's in love with the director's assistant. His name is Cyrus. I have called him Clyde at least 5 times.
5. Our Props person started today, rented a van, went shopping ALL day, filling up said van with props, and then had said van stolen when she ran into a store to pick up a lock for her storage space. That, Alanis, is ironic!
Stay tuned!
