Ah, the days are short and the sights and smells of the holidays are in the air... Well, the days are short at least out here. I am trying to find my best course of action with the upcoming situations and changes. There is a strike occuring in the production field out here. It does not include PA's but it happens to include our bosses. Now here is the difficulty for me. The people I work for that look out for me are on strike. I am not being asked not to work in the least, but at the same time it is hard to accept that I am going to try to do my job well and thus counter their efforts to disrupt our work. Honestly, I wish I could just forget about work for a spell and join them, but this is December and I have Christmas and Jan's rent on my mind. So, I go to work. Today has been a maelstrom of calls from the folks taking over this job. Slowly but surely they are starting to see me as their go-to guy as I know the director's quirks. This is gratifying as one that enjoys acknowledgement for his efforts, but difficult for the reasons already listed. On top of all this, it's a week or so before Christmas. When we begin shooting here in LA, I will be consumed with work till I leave. This is a lot to take in.
I also just had the wonderful opportunity to spend time with a close college friend, Tanya. She came out to visit for a few days and it was so damn good. Having been out here for five months now, I have forgotten how great it is to spend time with a friend that knows you so well. I am tired and homesick and well. Here's to that holiday cheer, where ever you are!
