Yesterday was a strange up and down day. My job is in a state of change, and I’m not quite sure what the outcome will be. It seems likely that I will be promoted to Story Assistant, which would be fantastic. That’s a sort of cross between editing and writing assistant, which is rather perfect for my interests and strengths.
At least… I think that’s what the job entails. No one’s actually told me, and it seems like the term “Story Assistant” means whatever each show wants it to mean. I’ve been told it means I’ll be researching the footage, I’ve been told it means I’ll be cutting story lines, and I’ve been told it’s somehow assisting the writers or the editors. I guess in reality those lines are blurred.
But I’m excited if this is true. Hopefully it’ll be more money, which is good because my medical bills are ridiculous, and I think it will at least mean an end to the letters that say “Oh, you’re a logger, gross, please don’t apply for work until you’ve washed the stench of that embarrassing job from your flesh.”
