The Guvernator is working in my office

So I'm on my 2nd week helping out at *onthefly films. It's fun to be in a creative environment again. Hmmm, again...I wonder when I was in a creative environment before...

Anyhow, it is undoubtedly what is keeping me up at all hours of the night, though the subject line was written when "I couldn't take it anymore!!" this morning, and had to tell someone how sure I was that our governor was in the cubicle behind me. You see, this baby of a company, *onthefly films, shares their office space with an older sibling of a company, Actual films (note capital 'A'). And there is this guy--I don't know if he's important, but he sure acts like he's important. And not only that, but by virtue of having an Austrian for a governor, I am sure as the day is long that he too is Austrian. Same vowel elongations; nooothing like the Germans! I am actually pretty disturbed that I know someone is Austrian based on who my governor is.

That sounds bad. I'm not meaning to discriminate. (Read Blink by Malcolm Gladwell--he talks about how we are all working really hard not to be bigots and s***, but we're pretty conditioned toward it anyway...) I am more objecting to the idea that an actor from Hollywood can come in, call my union brothers and sisters "sissies", and then think he can run for re-election.

Hmmm, at this point, I believe the insomnia runs out. Stay tuned for further updates.

p.s. Let it be known that, while the time of posting indicated may sound reasonable....it was not.
