A Little Tired

Sep

2008

Last week: 6 days, somewhere between 75-80 hours (I pretty much lost count). Today: 13 hours, and lost my boss halfway through the day so I got to pull double-duty for most of the afternoon. Tomorrow: Likely even more ridiculous. I’m bloody exhausted, but I will say: I’m glad I’ve been WAY too busy to ...

I’d like to preface this by stating that the video I’m linking to was shot when I got home four days into a six day week, when I’d already worked well over 50 hours. This means two things: 1. I don’t look too spectacular in this. My hair in particular is starting to go for ...

Two quick things since I’m neck deep in trying to get everyone up and running for shooting to start the day after tomorrow: 1. Someone needs to tell these damn kids that National Coming Out Day is October 11th, not September 23rd. 2. And now for a wee game of What’s Wrong With This Screenshot, ...

Prep is always pretty brutal. Trying to formulate a system to get everyone all the information they need, figuring out exactly what information they actually do need, and even simply trying to get a grip on who the fuck everyone is before we start shooting is a time-consuming and exhausting process.

Chaplin generally gets cranky with me when I go back to work after a long layoff. Usually this manifests itself in a couple weeks of him mistaking my arms, legs, and occasionally hair for dinner. The biting is annoying, but I would have preferred it to the stunt he pulled this time. I should preface ...

2008

Ah, the first week of work after a long layoff. Inevitable lack of sleep and exposure to fun new germs leaving me sick…again. The good news is that this seems to be one that’s only affecting my chest and sinuses, and not completely addling my brain like the last cold I had. The bad news: ...

Yes, that’s right folks, it took a whopping one day of work for me to come home so tired I lack the energy to do anything except link to something. Today’s winner: A fascinating analysis of the Facebook/Twitter phenomenon from the New York Times.

I got a job! I start Monday morning, and since the show has a 13 episode order, I’ll be employed for at least a few months this time. I cannot even begin to describe my relief and excitement. Especially because I will FINALLY have enough hours to qualify for Union insurance and be able to ...

The Daily Show’s research team truly outdid themselves last night, digging up some awesome double-talk about the Palin nomination. Take it away, kids:
