IRONSIDE
Holy crap, not only was I running a little late to set, but my car totally died on the overpass from the 10W to 110N. Thankfully, it was designed well and had an emergency parking area on the side. My car had been having issues and Rich was telling me he thought it was an electrical/ignition issue. Well, I don't know what it was but it would not start-up again.
I had to call Central and let them know I would be late, probably about half an hour at least. I was just a minute from the parking lot where I was supposed to go, but now, with a dead car, who knows how long it would take. I figured I'd have the tow company tow the car to the lot and just leave it there until I could figure out what to do. I was also kind of hoping that it would start when I got back to it.
I ended up being about an hour late. I was booked as a stand-in too, so I was a little stressed about being so late. When I showed up to set, they told me I was actually right on time. I kind of hung out with the other stand-ins who were like a foot taller than me. The guy I was standing in for was the terrorist on the episode and he was at least a few inches taller than me.
Anyway, we didn't really work much the entire day. We kind of sat around (or really stood around) waiting to be called, but the crew was fast and furious and didn't really have any room or time to use us. So, when we broke for lunch, they had another location to go to and we were wrapped.
When I got to my car, it would not start, so I had to call the tow company again to have it towed to a local shop I found on Yelp. They told me they could not fix the car until tomorrow, so I had BJ and Eleanor pick me up and take me home. Then stupid BJ tells moms that my car is dead so of course she starts to worry about how I need to buy a new car. I got mad at him later and told him that the next time he goes around telling moms about things, he should stop and think about explaining what is really wrong instead of creating a story that will make people think something that's not totally true.
