TV DEBUT

Remember a few months ago I mentioned a film crew was following a package through the system and our station? Well, tonight the show aired. It's called Jobsite, and it was absolutely hilarious. First of all, a good portion of it was staged. I'm sure most of it was legit, but a lot of the actions and reactions you knew was bull. Also, the package was suddenly going to a hospital with some quickly expiring medication when in reality it was delivered to one of our clothing producing buildings. Not to mention the fleet they showed launching wasn't even ours, but the station next door's. Despite all the obvious flaws, and Damien looking like a total lost douche while delivering, it was a pretty interesting and informative show.

Also today I had to go back to 1 Penn to get the rest of the items not ready yesterday with one of our new handlers. They had two TVs on a stand and one big mother for us. The big mother came on a rolling stand that could have EASILY made it through the loading dock and up the ramp leading down to it, but the lady there was very adamant about us loading the TV onto a hand truck separately. Ya know, whatever. Wouldn'ta been all that big a deal if the TV didn't weigh a friggin' TON, and we had decided to take it OFF the hand truck back ONTO the stand before the lady put in her 2 cents. Whatever.

The next hurdle was the freight guy wouldn't let us go down without a yellow pass. That's right, you needed a goddamn pass to get OUT of the building on top of the passes you needed to get IN to the building. WTF? So it took us a good half hour to get downstairs. Luckily, someone from another station was there for their own stuff to help us some. Then there was the matter of loading the TVs onto the truck I brought, and then unloading them at the station. Interestingly enough, taking the mother off the truck and onto its stand was probably the EASIEST part of the task of the day. It just fell right into place.
