The odd jobs I've had lately.

I'm so tired. I've been so busy the last three days, which actually has been great, but yeah, tiring.

So I spent Saturday night making Pina Colodas in pineapples. Yes, actual hollowed out pineapples. The guests at the parts I was working at loved them, but I have to say, making the same drink all night, not that exciting, especially when everything it pre mixed for you. All I was doing was blending and topping off with a bit of extra rum. Plus, pineapples don't make the best glasses.

Sunday I got what had to be the easiest job ever. I got paid to be part of the live audience for six episodes of Family Feud. It was fun although by the end my hands were sore from clapping so much. It was fun though, and like I said, easy money even if it was only minimum wage.

And yesterday was my first real bit of extra work. It was pretty exhausting, and at the end of the day one of actor wranglers (okay that's not her real title, but it's what she was doing) said that it was a hellish day, and she had done background work so she really appreciated what we'd put up with. Still overall I had a good time, although my feet were killing me by the end of the day and I did get a little sunburned.

Anyway, we were filming the season premiere of CSI:Las Vegas. So the most exciting part of all of this was that the scenes we were filming took place in a club where John Mayer was preforming, so we actually got to see him perform. Well, that would have been more exciting if I'd known who he was, but now I do, and it was really cool watching him perform. He was also really nice. It was very hot and stuff in the club, and at one point, while we were all waiting for them to move a camera, he left the stage and grabbed this big yellow tube that was attached to the portable air conditioner they'd set up for him and moved it up onto the stage so that it pointed at us.

Of course I doubt I'll be very visible when the episode airs. If anything, it'll probably just be the back of my head since I'm short so they kept putting me right in front of the stage, so that the musicians wouldn't be blocked in the shots.

Still all things considered it was fun, and early on in the day I was able to get a fair amount of writing done on my Palm Pilot. Also I made some money which is good. For non-union extra work you just make minimum wage, but it was a twelve and a half hour day so that means I made overtime, plus they had a smoke effect for the club and we get paid extra for being forced to breath in the smoke.

But I'm completely tired today.

I'll be watching for the back of your head when the show premieres! What color is your hair? :)

hee hee long straight dark brown to black hair. Of course it seemed like all the short people were brunettes (funny how all the tall women were 'blonds').
