Day 2

So, today is day number two at my first real job ever. Sweet. For some reason I'm in a much better mood today than I was yesterday. Probably because I hate beginnings. Although beginnings are exciting, they are also freaking scary. Now, I at least know some of the ropes so that I won't totally freak out when the phone rings.

Speaking of which...Yesterday I was the only PA in the office for an hour or so and I had to answer the phone. I'd been taught at least twice how to transfer a call and of course I get it wrong. And who calls? The VP of Production at Nickelodeon! Yeah. I freaked. But it was all cool. Tom (the Producer) and Susan (the Production Coordinator) were really nice about it. Which kicks ass. The other PA's are extremely nice too. Ryan and Lawrence have both been working for Nick for at least a few months. Jonathan is the Assistant Production Coordinator, and he's really nice too. The environment here is perfect for an intro job. At least so far, but I don't see how it will go bad. I'm blessed beyond measure. From what I can see, by observing the others in the office, there isn't a job that I couldn't do. I'm really looking forward to when production starts. I hope they'll let me go over to the set and watch for a little while. I'm happy that I'm getting to see the pre-production logistics side of things, and I'll learn all that I can, but I'm itching to get on set. That's what at this point I'm most interested in. Kelly (my roommate) has worked quite a bit as a Camera Assistant, and I think that perhaps that I may try to get into that line for a little while. Besides direction, camera is something I'm very interested in. I also wouldn't mind being a boom mic operator, it's hard on the shoulders, but all that means is that I'd be able to strengthen my shoulders for fighting in the SCA.

Ok. I should go.
