Can't believe a week is over already!
It got harder as the week went on, worked late on Thursday, Friday was... well the day was ok, the evening... ugh. Ok, so I had been told again that I hadn't cleared the suites properly, so this evening I decided this was it, I was going to do it all or die trying.
In the evening before all the clears it was time for the alcohol run... and guess which twat, with a tray loaded with 2 wine glasses, 2 beers and a cider, all full, completely fucking stacked it on the second flight of stairs... yep, me!! Smashed the wine glasses nicely (bloody cheap anyway) and alcohol everywhere. Argh! But the head runner said don't worry at all, it's ok, she did it a while ago with some beers. Grabbed a dirty old tea towel and got mopping. Was a bit shaken but crisis over.
So, this time I set off with a tray of stuff for only one suite... 1 wine, 1 cider.
Made it up all the stairs (when will they EVER fix the lift? Do they like staff torture?) got to the door of suite 12, knocked on it, stepped back.... wheeee, bye bye wine glass. Just as the lovely cute smiley editor guy whose name I really should find out opens the door. Couldn't have been timed better if it was a scripted sitcom!!
The editor was very nice, he asked if I was ok, i told him about how I'd stacked it earlier, I was so embarrassed and said I'd go get another, and bless him, he said he'd come down to the kitchen with me and get it. Cue me heading downstairs first trying to hide my burning face as the editor followed. As he said though 'you gotta laugh really!' as by that point I was somewhere in the deep abyss between laughing hysterically and crying my eyes out all to release the stress. he told me about how, on work experience at a radio station, he'd managed to get hot chocolate ALL over the reception and the stains were still there. Bless him, he's lovely! Said good bye and have a good weekend later on too.
Andrew the lovely straightforward editor in no 6 left yesterday. He was off to rest to stave off an illness that was coming back. He gave me lots of advice about being a good runner and getting into editing, and also reccomended highly that I learn FCP 'Colour'. This was after some lady came and had a go at me in the kitchen cos there was only one toilet in the building working, and no loo roll. Well, I can't help it if the builders are in doing their stuff, and we left 4 loo rolls in the working toilet, all she had to do was ask for more, but hey, i suppose we should be more loo roll aware. I let her have a go and then walk off, then I went out to do some suite clears and Andrew came up and spoke. After all that, I cleared a couple of suites, went back into the kitchen and had a good few tears. V tired and emotional, gone through a lot, was nice to let it all out. Got all the suites cleared that night!!
Now I am off to look at a house share today and looking forward to work next week!!
