So apparently, I've been talking to the former president of Paramount Pictures all week. He's been dealing with my boss on some things (don't know exactly what).

His names David Kirkpatrick and he also did work on a lot of Disney and Touchstone Pictures. And he made a new film studio in New England (specifically, Plymouth, MA) called Plymouth Rock Studios.

He's coming here tomorrow. Maybe I can get him to like me and get me a job there. God knows it'll be more exciting than this place.

Oh, and this is his bio my boss wanted me to print up:

Is he coming to work where you are a student? Or is something different, you do some other work? I'm confused, but that's nothing new!! But, what an exciting person with whom to be associated !!! I'm sure regardless of the relationship, it will be satisfying knowing such an interesting person!!

I work for The Laborers' Organizing department of New England Laborers' Unions. He's coming this morning.
