  • Random Act of Caffeinated Kindness

    Random Act of Caffeinated Kindness

    I know this may not look like much. To be honest it just looks like a regular cup of coffee. Nothing special. But that’s to most, most times to me too. But not today. 

    Today a random woman paid for my coffee. She didn’t know who I was. I didn’t know who she was. Hence the term “random” being used as this human’s adjective. 

    Anyways, I had just settled a rather unpleasant matter not even 30 min earlier. Along with the fact that I was tired considering I didn’t gett off work until 5 this morning. So you can see just how tired I really was. Well after I had settled the unpleasantness, I figured that it was about time I needed coffee, since I hadn’t had any yet for the day. So I drive to the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf close to my place and order my coffee. Then I wait until it’s my turn to pull up to the window ready to pay when the cashier said that the lady in front of me paid for my coffee. 

    Needless to say it was a pleasant surprise. And if just goes to show you that even though we live in political climate full of turmoil we shouldn’t ever lose hope. Want to know why? Because random act of kindness like this, shows that there is a glimmer of hope for humanity. 

    Well I just wanted to share a pleasant happening today. And I hope you all have a great day full of positive vibes.

    Set Daze

     

    Just wrapped up another shoot. And as always I loved every minute of it. I know that I work in the Production Office the whole time and pretty much handle paperwork for most of my day during production, but I’m not complaining. To be honest I really love it. I know what you’re thinking. You’re probably thinking, “if you love paperwork so much why don’t you just work a 9-5 like most people?” And my answer is because I will most likely not have the same amount of love for that job, that I have for this. I know that if I did that, I would have hated coming into work. I would have always just dreaded the day until I got off. Yes the hours on set are long, but it doesn’t feel that way. Well not to me at least.

    I also think I’m getting a better handle on being an Office PA too. And I’m hoping that within the next few months I might be able to move up to Production Secretary or APOC (Asst Prod Office Coord) and then eventually become a Line Producer/UPM.

    What I love most about film production jobs is that they’re not all the same. The job’s never the same. There’s always something new to learn. AND I’m not stuck in the same location every time. Maybe that’s what scares a lot of people from not pursuing a career in the arts. Because there’s not stability in it. And most people out there, want the stability you know?

    Well that’s all I have to say. I hope you enjoyed reading this as well as looking at my lovely pictures too. I try to keep it interesting for you, don’t want to let it all just be boring text you know? šŸ˜‰

    Until the next job, this is Michelle signing off…
