There’s only one of you– Okay okay, times have changed… maybe you’re one of two…three maybe? Just pray you never need a tampon.
Someone always offers to carry something for you– This is a very nice gesture and I’m always appreciative, but it always makes me giggle when a male co-worker takes something heavy from me and then is surprised by how heavy it is. Do you even lift bro? I do!
You are cold- Most women I speak to that work in offices complain about this one, but being part of a production team I find myself in positions where everyone around me is sweating from the heat of either the lights or the temperature of the room. I am usually still in a sweater of some kind. If you’re in the edit mines like our in-house colorist Jenn, you’ll need to call in heat reinforcements.
You dream of wearing bright flowy fabrics- I’m not a very fashion obsessed woman, but there are still days when I wake up and just want to put on some cute heels and a flowy dress… then I remember that in production anything can happen and I quickly change my mind and my shoes.
And speaking of fashion choices:
You need to think about your hairstyles: When you decide on a hairstyle you need to think about what you will be doing that day. Are you operating heavy machinery? Probably safest to keep it up. Do you wear a headset all day? That bun on your head will likely make wearing headphones difficult.
Bonus:
You feel lucky everyday: Despite any difficulties that come up you wouldn’t trade the amazing experiences for the world. No matter your specialty being part of a creative team that gets to create killer content day in and day out is nothing short of the dream.
