Putzin' along in story. True, not much in way of mystery but I bought the book so I plan on staying with it 'til end.

Lol. I'm finished, I did enjoy it!
I'm gettin' there. Ran into a similar issue like one in story. Yes, there was pay but unemployed actor started asking about titles, made strong suggestions on what his title should be. (This isn't a SONY job, guy). Whining about not having film related work so I thought I was being "the nice guy" er, gal and offered to hire him w/pay. Didn't want it, started complaining, begged off then asked if he could have job after all. Nah. If there's that much grief going in, I can imagine what it'd be like on set.
I've learned a gig is a gig esp. since it took place at posh hotel, AC, food, pay, 4-5 hrs. of basically playing and credits. During Covid and lean times, we're told to take any respectable industry related job just to get pay and (or) creds...latter sometimes worth more than $. In this case, cast/crew got both. And got to keep their costumes. Anyway, we could've used one more photog to take stills but in the end, all worked fine. ;-)

It was quiet here, Pghfan. But now for Big Time...whatever that may be (esp. with Covid). Thankfully, our gov hasn't shut things down just back. Wanted a Yuletide cuppa at Star$ or some cafe and they are again closed for indoor dining. :-( Still, pancake houses and some other restaurants are open indoors.

Amen to that, Pghfan. By now, we know what to do. Let us live and have some joy in these trying times of ours!

Stay cozy, safe and warm, Nicole! ;-)

'Tis the season, Pghfan. Glad you're plowing through the craziness of 2020 and able to enjoy the holidays!
