This, my friends, is a not-so-happy scene located at the La Brea Tar Pits a few miles away from Hollywood Blvd and only a couple steps away from my new temp job at E! Entertainment.

It smelled like sulfur.

But enough about that... let's talk about E!

E! Entertainment is like a well-tuned machine. At 9am I had hardly walk into the front lobby and asked for my new supervisor when a man with a flash-cam steps up to me and takes my picture.

"For an ID badge," he says.

I'm brought up to the fourth floor- the home of talent, developement, and accounting. Before I can sit down (at my new temporary desk with a not-so-temporary looking name plate with my name already neatly engraved on it with the words: Accounting/Developement Assistant: File Clerk sketched beside it) a man in a blue jean uniform who knows my name brings up a computer and presents me with my password, computer ID, and E! Entertainment email address. Then, while he is plugging in the said computer, another man (who ALSO knows my name) comes up and shakes my hand, telling me he has come to install my phone system.

It hasn't yet reached 9:15.

By this time my head is spinning and the scratching feeling at the bottom of my throat starts to swell.

I get called downstairs to get my new processed ID (I have to be escorted, because the elevators can run only on ID's) and the security guard lets me sneak a peak at the E! Entertainment TV Studio.

Wow.

To be continued.... Sorry, I HAVE to sleep AT LEAST 6 hours tonight. I'll write more tomorrow, with pictures.
