First Day

First day was long. I wasn't in Michelle's ("head production assistant") makeshift office for 30 minutes when I had to lug suitcases down to the Hair and Makeup trailer. We loaded up that trailer, the props trailer, and the wardrobe trailer. We also worked to prep everyone to be out of the office for the next few days.
We did do a lot of sitting around, but that was because the bosses went into a meeting at 1:30... and stayed there for 6 hours!! So we ran errands, copied and handed out memos, read the script and made more copies. Warning, if you have to make copies of a script, be wary that you have to count all the pages to make sure they are all there. There are too many revisions; so the page numbers are irrelevant by the end. Try counting up to 187 six times... not the most exciting part of your day ::wink::. We also had to figure out how to get a printer working. Which was at least three hours of fiddling with it.... At the end of the day, the printer does not work with a MAC. Hahaha.
On a lighter note... the girls stopped by during the day. Blake Lively came in to see the director for a bit. America Ferrera showed up to see the Dialect couch (there is some Shakespeare in this one). Amber Tamblyn came in for wardrobe touch-ups. And then they had her wait for about 3 hrs to get some hair and clothes pictures approved.... So she was sitting on the floor in the hall of the offices because there were no chairs left. She was mostly complaining on the phone because she was jet-lagged, getting over a sickness, and had been asked to fly to Toronto this weekend to introduce someone she didn't know well for a performance this woman was doing at an award ceremony.... or something like that. The only one I didn't see was Alexis Bledel, but they had her in earlier that week.
So I worked from 10 to 8. And I have to go to Kent on Monday through Wednesday for the shooting. This will be fun.
