My Week With Weinstein

Yesterday was the kind of day that started out with a Hollywood screenplay writer legitimately asking me if I was an actress (and me blushing immediately and for the following thirty minutes) and ended with my realizing  that I had accidentally written on my face with pen at some point during the day.

When you work in a film production office and someone says they need to book the "conference room" because they are having a "production meeting," it really means they need to book the theater room to watch a movie. I may just be a temp, but I'm on to them.

Optimistic writers keep calling and begging me to let them talk to Bob or Harvey Weinstein. A little of bit of my writing spirit dies every time I have to turn them away. I hope this doesn't negatively affect my writerly karma! Don't kill the messenger!

The Office Services guy (who is my office angel in the body of ginormous black man with tattoos and gray sweatpants) totally hooked me up with 8 free movies yesterday! Some I might not actually ever watch (Scream 4, the first season of Mob Wives..) but others I have been dying to see (The Iron Lady, My Week with Marilyn...).Regardless, Heck! I'm going to keep these DVD's forever as an artifact of my week at Weinstein.

You are so much more than the brokenness that you were certain would define you. It has not been easy for you. You have worked so hard to be the positive one. You have given your best in areas of your life where the effort was not returned. And this has made it so hard for you to keep going, and there have been days where you were not sure if it was even possible. But after everything, here you are, just a li...
