hoveringsombreroI had a very strange dream in one of the halfasleep periods last night.
In which I was on some TV set off to the side and overheard a conversation between the UPM (Unit Production Manager) and the AD (Assistant Director), don't even ask me how I knew what both their job titles were, my brain gets overly detailed sometimes.
UPM: "Man, I don't know why I bother trying to explain what a UPM does anymore, last night I was so wasted I told some chick that my job title was 'Guy Who Makes Sure Shit Doesn't Get Fucked Up'. She totally bought it, don't know if she was just stupid or as drunk as I was, but she was fucking impressed."
AD: "Dude, you just described the job of pretty much everyone on set, except the actors, and maybe food service."
UPM: (laughs) Too true about the actors, but don't shaft food service like that, they keep us fed, plus remember that Larry dude last season?"
AD: Larry?
UPM: Yeah, man, remember that like whole month you kept forgetting where you set your clipboard and he kept finding it?
AD: (laughs) RIGHT! Fucking Larry, I fucking loved that dude. Shoulda made him Script Supervisor instead of that incompetent Susan chick.
UPM: Seriously, (shakes head) fucking seriously man.
