how many times, is too many?

So i was suppose to call my boss at 3:00 to make sure he was on his way back to the office for a very important phone call with an executive at a network. This is big. Very big. So i called at 3:00. No answer. then 3:04, no answer. Then 3:08, no answer. Then 3:15, and you guessed it, no answer. Am i just crazy? I know that four times in fifteen minutes is stalker like behavior. But i am not a stalker. I'm not even that crazy. I just really like my job.


On the plus side, the phone did that ring-beep thing so i am hoping he is on the phone with someone very important and is why he didn't pick up to tell me he is on his way back.

Oh shit, i will be freaking out for the next forty-five minutes until he returns.

What I have learned as an assistant, so far

Its all about anticipation. Or so i hear. Its also about google searches and emailing photos. Thats what my life consists of now a days. Emailing photos and website addresses to my boss. Although, even doing that, i still find it exciting that i work at a production company. I kind of want more responsibility, except i have only been doing this particular job for about four weeks now. Maybe they are trying to break me in softly. I would really like more work to fill my time so that i feel more productive. I am doing developmental research, which is when you find articles in newspapers, magazines, books, etc that you think could make an interesting television show or movie. I have also been working on a screenplay. I will not discuss it here, but when it is finished, i will need to find an agent and get it shopped around. I am not sure whether or not i want it to be a teen comedy or a family channel made for tv movie. I feel more drawn to teen comedy only because i want there to be sex, and you can't really get away with that kind of stuff on the family channels. I do have another idea for the family channel market. I will work on those today.

Today was uneventful

Today, i began with breaking up forty hard drives from work with a hammer and some aggression. Then i sat at my computer and surfed the web. Then i did a little research on television networks and other such. Oh, something that happened the other day that was really neat.
Back when i was thinking about leaving VA and moving to LA i went and bought a book on how to be the best personal assistant. Glad i read that because it comes in handy with my new responsibilities. but the point is that there is a section on lingo in LA. For example, what "leave word" means and "rolling call sheet." I got a call from my boss' agent's assistant who was like, "oh, well can i just leave word about the meeting?" and i was like, "yeah, dude." I totally knew what he was talking about.
If that little story was a complete lost on you i just want to say, its all about the little victories, okay reader? Is that okay with you? What is exciting to me may not be the same for you. Let see, anything besides that, hold please, phone ringing.........okay back now. Let see, what else is new? Nothing.

until next time.
