the depths of "the industry"

sitting in my office with no travel plans in near sight, i figured i'd write about where i am now, as it is it's own adventure

a mear 30 feet away from me a studio executive just finished having lunch and as soon as her lunch meeting finished and the man she was meeting with, another exec at a different studio, she made a call and sold him out for $500,000. She then asked for a cup of coffee and a twizzler. yes, these things do happen in hollywood.

a few weeks ago, on a different project, i intercepted a card that a manager was sending to their client. he was working on the show i was working on and i had to open the card to see whom it was from so i could make sure they were calledn and notified of when it would be delievered. it was attached to a gift basket mostly filled with wine, totalling in the ball park of $500. The card read "there isn't enough wine in the world to get you through this one, but maybe this will help." moments later i took a phone call from the actor saying how excited he was to be on our show.

i spent 45 minutes today to drive a total of 12 miles. how long does it take you to drive 12 miles?
