So still no internet connection at home. Apparently, the last guy who lived there was a total deadbeat, so Time Warner is demanding a noterized copy of our lease. Goddamnit!!!

I should hook up my old free NYU dial-up, but we don't have a landline, so I don't know if I'd even get a dial tone. Maybe. I guess its worth a shot.

Friday

So I finally met with the producer after like, a month of phone tag. She was very nice and cool and seemed to like my script. She went through the whole thing page-by-page and pointed out the giant plot holes, and that kind of thing. It took hours, but it was a good thing. Her advice was sound, and she really gave me a lot of good ideas for my next draft. Hooray! And she bought me drinks, and food.

I also wrote to that agency that I mailed my script to two months ago and hadn't heard from. "Bob" said he got my script, and would get back to me about it by the end of next week.

So this was all good news. Now the bad news:

A friend of mine (not me) got this job where it took him/her weeks to get his/her first paycheck, because the company forgot to mail it. So then he/she deposits the check, and it bounces!!! The company says it's some kind of computer "glitch," but whatever, I think it's time to raise hell!!

There are very few incidences wherein I feel it appropriate to be the jerk-customer who complains about something, but I think anything involving one's paycheck (or indeed, tax-related things) is worth saying "Can I speak to your manager?" And it's not like this was just one, isolated paycheck-related mishap, it's two in a row! Good god! It pisses me off, and it's not even happening me.
