I wanted to process the checks in advance for the people who are staying in town so I wouldn't have to take them back to CA with me. Mr Dumbass Boss decides he's not going to pay anybody in advance because they don't deserve it. Um, hello? I wasn't going to give them their checks. Just trying to get the paperwork off my desk.
I hate that he can piss me off so easily. I think I will ask again tomorrow and see if he actually thought about what I was doing or if he just had a knee-jerk reaction.
Can't wait to be done.

Next Show
I've got my next show lined up - going to Virginia. It's not everything I wanted but it's 98%. I'm going to be an assistant and it's only for 3 months, otherwise I would have held firm for the full 100%. I can only hope this all works out; being an assistant is new for me but I think the show will be big enough to keep us both busy and we'll have a clerk to push paper around.
My main reason for accepting this show is it's with a studio I've never worked with before. I've heard nothing but fantastic things about them and I've been wanting to get my foot in their door. I don't know much about the key accountant or the payroll accountant but I'm hoping I'll fit in. If nothing else, it is only 3 months. And we'll be less than 2 hours from D.C. so we're planning on seeing all of the sights. Just have to find a dog daycare for the Sofie. She won't be happy but it'll be good for her.
My current show is finally winding down. We finished the last bit of filming in 1 day instead of 2 and that's all paid out. I'm in full wrap mode and we're chugging along to pull out next week. Then I've got 2 or 3 weeks at home and done is done.
My coworker, who called me a martyr and a liar, is starting to be friendly again. I'm not really interested unless there's an apology but I don't see that happening. Even with an apology I don't see us being actual friends. It's too bad because I thought that's where we were headed... Even so, it makes it easier to be in the office.
I have been thinking about the martyr comment though. He might be right. I'm going to have to work on that one...

3 Jobs
I'm talking to a new accountant about a show going to Richmond, VA in September. It's a big show with a new studio (for me) but I would only be the Payroll Assistant. I'm kind of thinking a step back would be a good thing for me and since they are willing to pay my rate it's even better. All I'm waiting for is them to approve the housing allowance. That is a deal breaker - I can't live in a hotel for 4 months.
In the meantime, I've gotten contacted by two old accountants for shows (one in Los Angeles and one in Detroit). I would be happy to work with either of them again but the timing isn't great - both would start by the end of August. I really think I need to take some time off (more than just a couple of weeks).
I asked my current boss (Ass) when I was done because I was getting these calls and he said "you want to leave us?" as if I haven't wanted to leave since sometime in May. Finally got him to admit he's hoping I'll stay through 8/12 and that he's got the money for me to stay until 8/26 - don't really see that happening... I will stay until the work is done and then I am out.
Anyway, I have to call the VA show and tell them to make a decision.
And I had meant to post about something else, some profound idea I had, that left my head the moment after it was fully formed...

Fireworks!
I managed to get all of my time cards split and scanned in time to get down to the river to see the fireworks. If I had gotten done sooner I would have gone down to the aquarium but as it was, I just went to the Riverwalk Mall - they have a balcony overlooking the water. I had a pretty good view but I wish I had taken the time to get the music simulcast on my phone. It would have enhanced the show as well as drown out the know-it-all I got stuck next to - he was more than happy to narrate everything...
Anyway, they were not as good as Boston (but really, who could compare?) but it was still a good show and I'm glad I went. I love fireworks. I took some pics and video but I have to see if they turned out and get them off my phone.
