| A British woman walked past my edit bay today. She was wearing a pants suit and had an overall high maintenance look to her. Right as she passed my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID, it was my producer.
|
| Me: | Hey man.
|
| Producer: | I need you to get up and walk away from your desk.
|
| Me: | ...
|
| Producer: | Just head out for lunch or something.
|
| Me: | What's happening?
|
| Producer: | Just leave the room.
|
| Me: | K
|
| Producer: | I'll call you back.
|
| I stuck around for a second to save my project file and set up a render in after effects. I noticed there was a meeting starting right behind me. The lights were dim and the mood was somber. Something was about to go down. I headed off to the Lazy Daisy cafe for a sandwich. In route I received a phone call.
|
| Me: | (laughing) What was that?
|
| Producer: | She's "The Cleaner."
|
| Me: | LOL. Like the wolf in pulp fiction?
|
| Producer: | This chick is serious. Come back in like an hour or so, she needs space.
|
| Me: | ...K
|
| Phone hangs up. |
