A Somewhat Interesting Day...

Well, it's been a while since my last blog post (again). Again, for the same reason, I haven't had a lot going on my end so there was really no reason to make a post. However, a couple of interesting things happened today.
First, I got to run an errand to Lionsgate. While this may not seem too exciting, it was kind of cool to get out of the office and see what another film company looks like. Obviously, it's bigger than where I work. However, it was a little different than what I was expecting. For some reason, I was thinking it was going to be some huge offices and cubicles, really widespread and all that (as it always appears in the movies, which, of course, is never a reflection of reality). But it wasn't. Now, I only saw like, 10 feet of it, but from my view it looked to just be a regular office floor.
Secondly, a crazy person called me up today at work (he wasn't calling for me, but I was the one that picked up). I can't go into the details, but he was calling for someone in the office, and when I told him he wasn't there, he completely FREAKED. He started cussing at me and yelling all sorts of things that I couldn't even make out. My boss and another guy at the office both had to talk with him and try to get him to calm down, which was very hard to do. It was definitely weird, as I've never had to deal with something like that before. But they assured me that's not typical behavior from people who work in the industry.
So, there was nothing groundbreaking about today (though, I did read a really good script, which was a nice change of pace from some of the bad stuff I've had to read). I'm hoping as things begin to pick up in the next few weeks, I'll be more exposed to other aspects of the industry and thus, will have more to write. As much as I enjoy working in the office, I would love to get on a set sometime and see how that's run.
