Well the job is in full swing and I spend most of my days picking sawdust or dirt out of my teeth and working on my farmers tan. It is anywhere between 75 and 90 degrees on set right now and it will only get hotter. My office is in a storage container and I use at least one can of air a day dusting off my computer. That is when I am actually IN my office which I share with my other Art Director. I spend a lot of time walking the set and checking up on how my crew is doing or building mock-ups for the show that my crew will later re-build and multiply. Thus the farmers tan. I guess it beats sitting behind a desk all day, but there will come a time when smelling like dirt day in and day out just won't be appealing anymore. Having Jess with me at work now makes all the unpleasant and stressful things so much better though. We carpool in the economical car and save tons in gas not to mention that I drive up the 40 minutes to work and he drives back. It has been quite nice.
Now, to be fair, I must post a little about the bathroom situation.
As you may recall, there was a little hostility on my part about the facilities on the Pilot. It seems that having your husband work as a Line Producer has some perks. He knows who to talk to about getting things done or he just does them himself. On the second day up in the Mud Bowl (which I really must rename the "Dust Bowl") I got a key to the "Women's" restroom and although it may not look like much to those of you who enjoy the finer things like indoor plumbing, it is like a 5 Star bathroom in my eyes.
There are 4 to 5 girls up there at a time and we enjoy a clean and smelly free bathroom every day. Of course, for those times when you just don't feel like running back to your office to grab the key, there is always the old stand-by Luxury Loo out in the middle of the field again.
My old friend. How I have not missed you.
