About Me

Hi. I'm Alex. I work for Showtime Networks as a Production Assistant. You may be thinking "Oh cool! Showtime! That job must be great!" Well maybe you'd think this job is great if you enjoy copying scripts and are fond of making VHS dubs. I don't hang out with the stars - I don't even get free cable. What I get is a paycheck that forces me to choose the $.89 pack of gum over the $.99 pack.I'm making these videos to show my bosses where the real talent is, in hopes that they'll let me do something other than get them coffee.
