e_julianaWell, it's been a busy time here, boys and girls. Between an entire floor remodel here at work and having to re-cast someone in Richard III, I've been doing my best headless chicken impression.
Richard III - well, the super-condensed Cliff Notes version is that it's a veryvery bad idea to say that you'll only take direction "if it's good" and then make a second threat to quit in front of the producer, the first threat having been directed to said producer approximately 6 weeks prior. Producers tend to take actors up on such things after such behavior. Things could have been handled better all around, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't relieved.
Work - they're gluing down carpet as we're here, so I'm getting pretty sick. Unfortunately, they're already doing all they can to blow the fumes away from our area, so I can either go home or suck it up. I am not best pleased. Actually, I'm pretty pissed, and have been pointedly taking breaks to go outside. In the 35-degree weather. Fuck. In addition, I'm apparently the office roustabout and have been moving crap that should have been taken care of by other people all this past week. I don't see that alleviating any time soon, at least not until mid-June, when we're done with this remodel. The one nice bit is that I'm the one who knows how to work all of the shiny new LCD projectors and assorted equipment. Mmm, shiny new equipment.
Back to the salt mines. We start tech tonight, and apparently the set is already walkable. Rock. On. Hopefully this will be a nice boost to actor morale.
