So I've been doing this unglorified thing the industry, or at least the agencies, call floating and I've become fairly comforatble with the nuances of the job. I mean, really, in the end the job is still as someone's assistant no matter how much work there is and how high your boss tells you to jump.
But being upstairs out of the mailroom amidst the other assistants I've worked hard and learned quickly. The latter of the two is what gets you out of the hot seat on a new desk the fastest, the former...keeps you out. I guess someone passed along some good notes on my performance (thank you to that anonymous person) and I was approached by the "powers that be" and asked whether or not I would be interested in going to work as a 2nd asst. for the President of the company...no names here guys, sorry. Seems like a good...no, great opportunity here right? The experience would be invaluable. If my performance was up to snuff I would gain valuable contacts in that arena.
On the other hand I'm trying to stay focused on a long term goal...producing. With that in mind I really want to learn the business of a motion picture literary agent. The job entails attaching writers and material...it even includes attaching directors in some circumstances.
So here is my dilemma, do I take the good opportunity that may just knock once, or do I hold out and stick to the plan. The grass is always greener on the other side they say, which sure as hell means its a whole lot sweeter, so??
