The Introduction



the good stuff on this video starts around 40 seconds.

My new job

I have moved up in the world. I am now the assistant to our CEO. That's right. I now pick up two drinks at starbucks in the morning instead of one. I have two email accounts instead of one. I am moving up. The sky is the limit now. I apologize for not sharing this news sooner but we still haven't finalized the numbers. I am not sure how much I will be making but it doesn't matter because I am full time and need a day off. I am taking back my weekends. I hope I get to travel for the company. I listen to the field producers discussing budgets for upcoming shoots in thailand and India. That would be so exciting. But I am not ready for India. I am thinking New York or LA first, then graduating to Europe and then expanding further. We will see. I am on my lunch break now. My duties as new assistant include going to the bank and confirm meetings in addition to what I already did.

Voice Mail Hell

So, Its not even 11:00 AM and I have fucked up twice with the voicemail. Its not hard to transfer people to voicemail, when you have a 12 line phone. i have a 24 line phone, which means when i am hitting the 24 button, it is not the 12 button, which is Vmail. So needless to say, after three failed attempts i asked for help. And right after that I went and found a spare phone with only 12 lines. Then, the phone rang. Nothing new there. I went to pick it up and the cord connecting the ear/mouth part fell out. And then I couldn't get it back into the hole. (Giggle if you must.) It was very funny/horrible. Here I am, not being able to talk to the person I just picked up, because the bloody phone is all fucked and I can't get it in to work and I am laughing because it is so comical. Shit like this doesn't happen in real life, does it? Why yes it absolutely does. And i asked my boss when he came in if he got the message. And he told me no. The elusive voicemail transfer will be conquered by the end of the day.

Today i felt like a real intern

So, not only did i get to go pick up lunch from the heaven that is Panera Bread, i also got to book a flight. But I am getting ahead of myself. My day started with a little sleep. Too little to get up and function, so what did I do? I whipped out my blackberry, emailed the office manager, Renee. So once i got into the office, armed with a venti machiatto and my wits I entered the danger zone. The place was a buzz. We had a field producer and a writer sitting in with an editor and going over footage from a field show that wrapped. I was then sent to get their food orders for a lunch run. So at 12 i went in and they were already looking at a Panera menu online. I got their money and grabbed my keys and hit the road. I got to Panera and was standing in line with this insane chick came in talking on her phone. She was loud and screaming about "and then Jordan called me and was like come out baby, and bring Thailana and I was like no, i'm tired." The reason for all this is the fact that on her sunglasses still had the "100% UV Protection" sticker on it. Too crazy. I called my friend Allison to tell her about this. She thought it was funny.
Back at work, I came back. Delivered the lunches and change and sat to eat mine. I was then informed that I needed to find my boss, a flight from Dulles to Salt Lake City. Easy enough. It must leave after 10, arrive there before 4 and be a nonstop? Shit. And he wanted a return flight the next day, that didn't leave until after 9 PM. I got on the net and surfed all the sites i could think of to locate flights. Nothing matched his criteria. I then was told to call American Express and book through their travel services. So I did that. After two hours on the phone, I got him on a flight that leaves at 10:50, with one layover and gets him to Salt Lake City by 3:55. He then flies back the next day at 11:59 to have a two hour layover, to come back to Dulles. And then, it turns out he wanted me to pay for the flight using our points. Then i had to get back on the phone and call AmEx again and talk with their rewards people. Once i went through two security questions, which I had no idea what they could be and had to call my boss and ask they finally make the corrections and everything was fine. I want a Black AmEx with my personal assigned concierge and travel agent, as well as a private jet so I never have to go through this again. I am tired and want to go home.

Research...i feel like a Sherlock F*cking Holmes

So, all i have done is research. "And what are you researching Joey?" Well, I'll tell you. I get to research modern weapons that may have come from weapons used by Roman Gladiators. That's right. Something completely useless just because there are no such weapons. No one uses a sword, or a triton. Maybe a net what even that's a stretch. Other than researching on the internet, I messenger contracts and fight with the fax machine. The highlight of my day. Sweet.
