DIRTY SEXY MONEY #2

Today was the first time I worked inside the Paramount lot. I'd been in the lot before to watch a Star Trek movie, but this time, I had to work. Unfortunately, the set was inside one of the smaller Paramount theaters which was located on the opposite side of the parking structure.

It was hot. I was wearing pants and a long sleeved shirt with a backpack and toting my chair. By the time I arrived in the check-in area, I was in full-blown sweat mode. My back was drenched and when I reached behind me to tuck my shirt in, I noticed my shirt was drenched too. It was embarrassing! There was a mirror on the set and when I looked at my back, I could see the sweat mark running all the way down it.

I considered changing my shirt, but after cooling off inside the air conditioned set, my shirt finally began to dry. I also stood outside for a little while trying to get the sun to dry me off. But it was so humid, it really wasn't working too well.

The scene involved Stephen Baldwin running for Senate and answering questions in the hall from Dan Rather. It saddened me to see what has happened to Rather. He's just playing himself now in tv and film, no longer the journalist he once was. Some younger folks probably don't even know who he is and will simply see him as a former news guy who was fired from CBS.

One of the PAs really annoyed me. He got a kick out of holding people from the craft services truck as if they were children. I didn't appreciate that but wondered what I could do about it. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth the trouble to complain. Everyone does their job differently I suppose. On the other hand, what happens when most people don't say anything about things that bug them? Would anything ever change?
