Sorry - busy week.
Last weekend was filming in Manchester with La Bron for Technically Speaking. Baldy made a cameo on the Saturday - the 2 1/2 hours on the train with him revealed that old Kirsten Imrie (of ex page 3 fame?!?!) is still causing him bother. Try to be more sensible than him - if she ever asks you out, say NO - regardless of the fact she used to get her tits out.
La Spice filmed with us on Sunday (as a happy happy housemate - most amusing). Gregorian and Rockenspiel also tagged a long for the fun, and I was later introduced to 'Spiel's new mini and his terrifying accelerator pedal - fast travel in what vaguely resembles a tin can as far as safety goes is a little scary - not that I should complain since he very kindly gave me a lift to the station and was directed VERY badly by me. And Holly. AND Greg. Mind you, none of us have ever driven in Manchester, and the signs are bloody worse there than they are even in London. Shame on Manchester.
So... new job. Liking it so far. Am annoyed that I got a call from the accountant on Fingersmith on Tuesday - I REALLLY wanted to do that job but didn't hear anything back so took P&P. Grr. Ah well - a job's a job, as someone no doubt says. Like me.
Am also feeling really hard done by as to my salary, which seems to be as low as it is purely on the basis of some shocking nepatism. The accountant's partner (as in home, not business) has been hired at a salary of £300 per week more than me. Now, I have a low experience level, only two films, so my lower salary is fair enough. This guy has worked 4 days on a film. 2 years ago. The other accountant has spent ages training him up, and he seems lovely, and I'm sure he'll pick it all up - but it just means my wage takes the piss. Our workload is the same. The only thing that affects your salary is your experience - or obviously, whether or not you're shagging the boss. Sigh. Not impressed AT ALL with that.
Other than that though things are cool there. A girl who I used to work with at Working Title is there, and she's great, so it's good to have a familiar face about. And thus far most of the crew seem really nice, with the exception of a sour face in production, and a patronising hefalump. So... the usual fun of the workplace. Joy.
