True Life: I'm a Hollywood Assistant

My new favorite Twitter feed (brought to my attention by Fred Savage a.k.a. Kevin Arnold from The Wonder Years a.k.a my first crush) is #HollywoodAssistants. Kevin Arnold describes it perfectly in his tweet:

 
Check out  and see what life is like for the people who truly run show business. Enjoy!!

This hilarious anonymously-run tumblr gives such a great insight into the crazy, wonderful, frustrating, ridiculous, exhilarating world of being an assistant in this industry. I'm really lucky to have two great bosses who don't throw staplers at my head (as one of my friend's bosses did) and let me get involved in many projects above and beyond my "assistant" duties. (Thank goodness).  While almost all of the Hollywood Assistant posts make me 'lol', I've narrowed it down to some favorites....



WHEN SOMEONE NEEDS TO RESCHEDULE DRINKS WITH ME
On the outside I’m like,
yeah sure,
On the inside:


WHEN I FORGET TO GET SOMEONE’S NUMBER
ive made a huge mistake

WHEN I HEAR JOHNNY DEPP IS IN THE LOBBY


WHEN MY BOSS TELLS ME I DID A GREAT JOB TODAY
I just feel like,









WHEN A HOT ACTOR WALKS BY


FREE FOOD IN THE OFFICE





WHEN SOMEONE RESCHEDULES THEIR MEETING TO MAKE THINGS WORK FOR MY BOSS


WHEN I GET A CALL SAYING THERE’S NO DRIVE-ON

THE MONTH OF DECEMBER


Oh man... how funny and accurate these are. I could go on and on.  Another funny insight into my current job is this video. It's 3 years old and still makes me laugh. I love that my place of employment makes an appearance. Holla WB. :-)
