Getting down on my hands and knees and thanking the flying spaghetti monster that I am no longer working in film & television, because the only thing worse than being a PA is being an unemployed PA.

Conversely, feeling really bad for my brothers and sisters working at the Broadway theatre concession stand. Once a concessionier, always a concessionier.

Oh no. You just have to play even more video games. Take it from me, you can just as easily avoid talking to your family with that distraction. If only I could bring the XBox to my aunt's house for Thanksgiving...
