Its been a little bit since the last post...and obviously that's due to work, which is going well. I'm finding more of a routine with the AD team, so I don't feel so useless. I have more tasks to do and know more about what they do on this show so I can be more pro-active. The first set PA quit; they replaced him with the Production Key PA (who is basically in charge of all the other PAs), but the AD didn't much care for her...so she's out...after only one day.
Small aside...if the AD (this AD, not all ADs) doesn't like you or you do something she doesn't agree with...then the AD WILL find a way to get you off her team or fired. In this case she is just off the team...the production really can't afford to loose any more Pas (key or otherwise) this close to the end of production.
In this particular instance, this Key PA sent an email to the Line Producer about a typo that left the 'Key' off her title on the call sheet...which you DO NOT DO...as the line producer is over all the money and is kind of a big deal...especially over something so trivial. If anything, you talk to the Production coordinator or 2nd AD at best. Basically it's like overstepping your bounds, and she did it at the detriment of her position with the AD team...and possibly her ability to work with certain productions again.
So, now there is another set PA and we get along pretty well. There's only a few more weeks to go, so it should work out.
The place I'm staying is doing me well. I'm looking forward to a day off (even though I'm off today...I just found out a little late) so that I can go to a show...and do other touristy things!
I want to be more frequent with the postings, as each day is a blur the next day and so I forget a lot of stuff that I'd like to write about...but 4am mornings and late nights kinda keep me from doing it all the time. I'll try to do better.
I press on.
