This week on strike

since the iraq war started, there is this show on CNN called this week in war.

this is my equivalent for being on strike!

what i've learned this week

1. never date writers. while on strike you have to picket with other writers. Other writers you will inevitably see on the picket line. some you haven't returned their calls, others you pretend to not see during a 4 hour circle you're making and passing them over and over and over... you get the drill. also what works is going to opposite direction by shouting "hey it's rob" every time you walk by him to avoid the fact you rejected him. so to avoid these and even more awkward situations, I have decided not to date writers.

2. striking is hard. seriously, marching in a circle for 4 hours a day is why i didn't join the army. that and the misogynistic environment and lack of food selections, i'm guessing they dont serve sushi in iraq.

3. strikers get treats. all the talent agents sent out their gophers with hot cocoa, churros (i have a picture of that one yum), cookies, burritos, pizzas etc. we get to put back on all the calories we just burned off. Yum! even local catering companies came out with boxes of different treats they can do with their stickers/business cards.
