2 Teas, 1 sugar, 3 coffees, 2 2 sugar…
The game to try and remember how many sugars people take in their teas and coffees has begun! I am not known for having a wonderful memory, in fact, I am known amongst my friends and as having the worst possible memory ever! So unfortunately for me, my recent roles as Runner do involve me to try and train my brain to remember! When I saw unfortunately, I mean because it is a very difficult process for me!
The last shoot I worked on (yesterday) did indeed involve a lot of beverage making, and by the end of the 14 hour day, I just about managed to remember how about 4 people take their tea and coffee! Fortunately, some of these people I do work with fairly regularly and *may* even remember how they take their drinks next time, others I may not. That is the name of the game though i’m afraid! The ever changing nature of this industry means having to adapt quickly and to be on your toes to keep up!
I hope I won’t be making 101 drinks and constantly washing up forever, but at least I understand that this is what I have to do to get out there, be known and get that much needed experience! I’m sincerely hoping that I do make a good impression on the people I work with because i’m really bad at the whole networking thing! I do work hard and really try and help out as much as possible, I always try and learn something on every shoot (I learned yesterday that if you’re stuck in a whirl pool, you just get sucked to the bottom! Ok, so I know it isn’t media related but it’s still something I found fascinating!!!!) and always try and make friends with everyone. Just trying now to step up my game and show them what I’m made of!! 
Was that coffee or tea with 1 that you asked for?
