Playboy, Day 1
Dec. 9th, 2008 06:36 pmUgh. I feel rather crappy, so this will be short.
The Bad: Drive. Driiiiiive. The commute this morning took over an hour and a half, and a freak fire on the way home extended my return to almost 2 hours. I am SO SICK of being in the car. So I'm really rather grumpy about that and it kinda tainted the whole day. The work...is work. It's lonely, repetitive labor, like the cleaning I did at Universal. Only Universal was 11-15 hours a day, and this is 7, so relatively not that bad. I wish I could have a job I actually enjoyed, but I've done this before and I'll do it again. Also, no benefits. And I've got homework - a nice thick stack of paperwork to fill out by tomorrow.
The Good: This is awesome: the mansion staff offers small buffet meals for all workers, so we get breaks and free food. Aaaaawesome. During breaks we can handle a few of the parrots. And it's the Playboy Mansion. They were filming a bit of stock footage of the mansion and grounds for The Girls Next Door. There's parking spaces marked for Bridget and Kendra (can't figure out where Holly's is). At the end of the day a tall foreign playmate was being filmed meeting the animals for some russian show. It's all kinda surreal. *L*
As said, I'm really just grumpy over the commute from hell, so hopefully tomorrow I'll be in a better mood and have a few more stories!

ETA:
Ha! Checked out the latest of The Girls Next Door and the foreign lady is Dasha, the 55th Anniversary playmate. So weird to see her in real life and then see her on TV. Naked. *L*
