Day 3 of 150...
I started another show today called Family in Hiding. I got an upgrade to AD PA right away as the one scheduled had a toothache and had to leave for the day. It was fun to AD again for a day. Tomorrow I'm back to the floating Key PA position. I'm getting multiple phone calls and emails for work every day. It sure is nice to be in demand. I feel sad that I can't take some of them. Especially the job as a 3rd AD on the movie Numb starring Matthew Perry (yes that one) and Kevin Pollak who does the best darned Captain Kirk and Chirstopher Walken impressions ever.
I had to turn that gig down because DGC rules are that now that I'm a permittee, the minute I take an AD job, namelt TAD 3rd AD or higher I lose my days and am removed from the program. Lame! Anyway, I'll keep plugging away. If people are noticing me after working only these few shows then I'm sure the trend will continue if I keep showing up with a positive attitude, a sense of humour and do what's in front of me to be done.
Nice to have arrived home with the sun still up. However, that makes for an early call time tomorrow - 0630. Who cares? I still like what what I'm doing. It's just so glamourous... (he lied).
Another day on another show...

I was checking your imdb profile for updates when I noticed you have no photo there yet.
Granted you are behind the camera and not seen. But I think a picture would go a long way to depict to others, what they are getting when the hire themselves a Mike Browne.
May I suggest: http://hurtstothink.com/ima...

Rules are rules, get with the program if you really want the postion. By the way i know for a fact that you were never offered the 3rd AD gig. Stop making stuff up.

You're right, "truth". It was the AD PA gig not 3rd AD. I misheard my phone message. I posted this and just never went back to edit it. I didn't make anything up.
As far as "getting with the program" its in my nature to look for the easier softer way out of things and 150 days seems a tall hill to climb. I'm doing it though.
I am a little put off by the spirit of your comment though. I'd love it if you were to email me so we can have a dialogue about it. Perhaps you can offer me some advice or help.
