If anyone's interested, story about Green Lantern movie being filmed in a "green" studio.
very cool! I wonder how practical some of the things are. The biggest thing that is bad for the environment with filming is the sets. We were talking about that at work today. A show that shoots down here in TX (well, pilot + 5 episodes) was set in a law firm, so lots of fancy glass and wood offices. Show is canceled. They put a catch can around the glass, and toss a hammer into it, and throws it all out. Breaks the heart, no?
I used to work 9:30 to 6:30, and mostly was 9:45ish to...whenever. I do looooove the flexibility of my current job, much as I sometimes curse the "Hi, I was at the airport at 5:30AM" or "I got home at 9PM", there are other bennies of "I woke up at 8AM and was on a conference call in my pajamas and then took a shower after and got coffee and now am watching TV for an hour" etc.
I work in a different building than my boss and the rest of my coworkers, so no one knows when I'm here or not. I aim for 9:30, get in closer to 10, but rare is the day when I leave the office before 6. back when I had the commute, I generally didn't leave before 6:30 because the traffic was bad.
Yeah, the traffic is a large part of why I go in later and stay later.
I have not really tried to telecommute (mostly because I wouldn't have access to everything as a contractor). The one time I had to because the building was closed for a snow day, I had to "work from bar" because our internet access was out at the house. I don't think anyone would care.
It's about to get to the point where I may have to work from home once every two weeks or so though, because I'm getting a lot of people dropping by my cube and making it difficult to get my crucial stuff done-not timewise, but concentration-wise.
Best of luck, Pix.
My boss seems incredibly fair about the time thing. I make it in at 8:05, pretty much, and leave at varying times. But I'm a contractor and I'm not allowed to bill more than 40 hours. I tend to front load the week and work 9 hour days to shorten my Friday, but then I feel guilty leaving before him, like I will today. Especially because he dumped new project on me yesterday. But still! Contractor!
I'm not allowed more than 40 either, which is why I'm out in a few.
I'm out in an hour, if I can bear to walk past his office.
