Best Job EVAR!

I kinda love my job. Not the fact that it might be over soon, but just the job in general.
To start off, you might need a little background. I  have college instincts, specifically the ones that say if there is free food, then you should eat as much as possible, even more sometimes. So in this line of work there is a lot of food. At all the sets I've gone to, breakfast and lunch have been provided along with snacks throughout the entire day. That's a lot of food. We even get lunch in the office. This is a good job for me. Plenty of food. I might actually gain weight  with this job! (Little note: I've been 5'8" and 120 pounds since I was 14, never changed).


Another thing is the awesome people I get to work with. There's Bobert, who is just chill, Steve (not the internet) who is Steve, Matt who doesn't give a shit what people think, the ever-charming Cameron who wears tee shirts in February and a giant coat and scarf, and Rufus who is a Rufus. I can't explain this guy. He's so different from every person in the world. This guy is crazy, but in a good way. Never shuts up, but he always has something interesting/funny/awesome/cool to say. He has really fluffy dark brown hair, like how mine used to be in the extremely humid summer. He has been pretty much everywhere, and likes to live out in the country. Like real country. Log-cabin in the middle of nowhere style. This dude has been fucking everywhere, gone to school in France, hitchhiked through Ireland, and gone all through South America. Who is this guy?
There was also cake. I mean cake. It was the (I don't know what she does) girl's birthday. We had a cake for her. But we had to distract her. So naturally Rufus does a banging good job at it. He pretty much had her distracted going on tangent off of tangents until their conversation had gone in about 3 circles and the homemade cake with chocolate icing appeared. It was good cake...

Office Shinanigans

Person 1: "First animal that comes to your mind. Go!"
Person 2: "Apple"
Person 3: "Snake"
Person 4: "Fox"
Person 5: "Bear"
Person 1: "Fox it is"
Person 5: "BEAR!!!"
Person 1: "Too late! I'm already drawing a fox."
Person 2: "That's not a fox..."
So after my 10 hours of much needed sleep, I got to the office (on time) to hear this conversation going on in the Productions department...and I thought I didn't do anything at work.
Also there, I learned that fax machines are stupid, and that they think I'm just as stupid as they are. The one at the office goes out of it's way to try and prove it's point by failing to send any faxes I have to send out. Fucking fax machine...
While I was doing my amount of nothing, the guys around me were trying to figure out how to make a conference call with the office phones. The got to three people, then...it kind of failed when they added a fourth. Not like someone pressing the wrong button, but just downright refusing to cooperate and dropping the first person dialed. Funny as an apple being an animal.
A quick summary of my usual work day:

1. 6:00 wake up
2. 6:20-6:45 think about getting out of bed
3. 6:50 take shower
4. 7:20 dress
5. 7:30 eat whatever I can find and my assortment of vitamins, painkillers, and allergy meds
6. 7:55 leave
7. 8:00 catch subway
8. 8:15 get off subway
9. 8:30-ish enter office
10. 8:30-11:00 whatever Steve (not the Internet) tells me to do
11. 12:00 food
12. 12:30-17:00 whatever Steve (not the Internet) tells me to do
13. 17:00 go home

After that it's kind of random. Well not really, it's mostly me eating and watching movies/Gintama on my laptop along with an assortment of YouTubers.

But this is kind of my old schedule from high school...I even used my backpack today to carry my stuff instead of my laptop bag...I felt like I was back in school...fuck. I'm not that homesick.

I don't even know if I'm going to have a job next week. No one has said anything about next month. I might have to pack my things and move back to Virginia. I don't exactly want to go. BAH! I wish I knew what would happen in my life! BAH!

Let's See What the New Girl Can Do

Today wasn't much. I was in the office all day (the elevator is still broken so I walked up 7 flights of stairs again) and barely moved from my desk/half of a folding table. I was supposed to meet the ever-charming Cameron on set before lunch call to help set up, but the boss man found some actual intern-like work for me to do. So my day was divided between dividing his receipts and organizing the photos of EVERY house they considered using as a set for The Corrections and every house they never used in other shows and kept in mind.
It's so easy to send the intern out, but why didn't they? I can't believe how tired I was from today, and how much I wanted Cameron to call and say they needed me on set, but I doubt they would actually need me on set for anything other than when Cameron wants help carrying tables.
I also must be going deaf from working in the city because today everyone had to repeat things 3 times before I could properly hear what they were telling me to do.
More on seeing what the new girl can do, with those photos I had to sort them by place, not just be street address, but by counties. So the office decided to see how much of New York the new girl knew. I was complaining the whole time in the back of my head about how I didn't know the Bronx from Brooklyn (but now I do). I had fun finding out names though. I never knew there was a town called Nyack. Such a weird name. Or Mill Neck. How did these ancient settlers come up with these names?

Anywhich on a side note, I picked up a book yesterday at Barnes and Nobles. Now I can generally get lost in a bookstore and not want to ever come out, but this time I only had so much time because I had to buy groceries, so I stopped in for a little bit of new reading. I looked through the teen fiction section (NOT Twilight) and picked up a book by one of my favourite authors Julie Anne Peters. Julie helps me through my moments more than any song or person ever has. I remember reading my first book by her Far from Xanadu and how it changed my life. I must have read it 5 times since I got it a year ago. She helped me find myself and realize who I was (a work that is still in progress). I proudly own Luna, Keeping You a Secret, Rage: A Love Story, and By the Time You Read This, I'll Be Dead which I have sitting next to me at this very moment. As far as I've read, this book is about a suicidal teenage girl, Daelyn, who wants to become a "completer" which is one who does not fail at suicide. As of now she has found a website that is helping her find out how to finish what she started. It is a morbid book, but death is a morbid subject no matter how it is caused. I might have to make a separate entry for books...


I don't know if I could have used this book during my worst times. It seems to be encouraging me to take my life into my own hands, but I don't know what I would have done with it at that time. I love this book though, and Julie. Her writing is always real, making me actually feel what is going on in her works. I need more of her books, they are my drug.
