We’re on hiatus for about a week and a half, and everyone on staff got Wednesday through Friday off. Of course, since I technically work for a contractor, I don’t get paid days off, so I have to come in if I want to pay my rent. So me and most of the rest of ...

So I did not win the Oscar Pool at work. That honor, and over $600, went to one of the producers, and the iPod went to one of our production coordinators. I did, however, hit the length of the ceremony right on the head (at 3 hours and 47 minutes), so I won some DVDs ...

You’re The Grapes of Wrath! by John Steinbeck You’re mired in a deep depression that encompasses you and everyone you know. You’re trying to get out of the depression, but your idea of help is, in itself, pretty sad. While some are convinced that this all has a deeper meaning, you’re really just dull and ...

Okay, I’ll grant you it’s sunny 300 days a year here in Southern California, but when it rains for real, they don’t fuck around. It was raining so hard when I was driving home that I couldn’t see more than about 100 feet in front of me for large chunks of my drive. It took ...

I thought I was cool because I visited all 50 states by the ripe old age of 22. This guy visited all 192 countries by the age of 23. He wins.

I’m in for it: Now I get to deal with the actual audience on a daily basis instead of just calling people, which is what I’ve been doing up to this point. One of the other members of my department is shifting to another show, so I’m getting thrown into the gaping maw of working ...
