(Plasket, apparently still lacking the internet, sent this to me via his phone to post for him)
I was in high school yet again. I was carrying around a black bag which I suddenly lost. Luckily, I was in Japanese class, so the teacher sent out some ninjas to look for it. They returned with a number of black objects, none of which were bags. I was disappointed. To make matters worse, we were learning swordplay, and I was not doing well. Another student offered me a cookie, but she dropped it. This enraged me to the point that I took my sword and chopped up the table of a Japanese candy and video game vendor which had spontaneously appeared. I left, but I decided to go back to the stand, partly because I felt bad, but also because they might have the Romantic Mario Collection. (?) To my disappointment, the stand had disappeared. In any case, I was late for my gig as the new Big Bird. After shooting an episode of Sesame Street, I took my costume head off and took a bow.
I left before The Price Is Right started (they were shooting next door) to start my other new job as production assistant on The Today Show (also next door, but in the other direction). As I carried in some C-stands, I noticed one of the guests was a disgruntled Conan O'Brien. I was responsible for a commercial, but it didn't go on the air. I asked Hota Kotb for a Post-It, and she told me to take one. All of hers were used. I took one and began to write "watch transitions" on it. She told me not to use that one, instead giving me an elaborately-designed note that a fashion designer who called himself Queen Kelly had painted during a commercial break. Noticing one of her other notes, I asked her, "You interviewed Syl Johnson?" She said, "Yeah, you like him?" I replied, "I didn't see it. How did it go?" I immediately realized it was bad form to admit that I didn't watch the show I worked on, but I woke up at that point, so I didn't have to deal with it.
