Stairs ... Stairs ... and more stairs!

I was complaining the other day that I don't get enough exercise - well it appears that the Gods heard me and I swear never to moan again. Today I have run up and down 9 flights of stairs a grand total of 5 times to panter to the needs of a Series Director. Sometimes it is understandable but sometimes it is just plain annoying.

10am Miss M gets into the office

Email from Series Director: Hi Miss M, I'm in the edit down on the 1st floor - can you please bring me tape 20 and 25?

Miss M runs down the stairs and drops them off

20 minutes later

Email from Series Director: I just need tape 3 if you could drop that off?

Miss M runs down the stairs

1 hour later

Email from Series Director: Just realised that I also need tape 15 - are you able to run it down?

Miss M runs down the stairs

Now this one is just completely beyond me

Telephone rings

Miss M: Brightly Hello

Series Director: Hi Miss M, could you possibly please go and get some CD's for me and drop them to me in the edit? They are in the Music Department

Miss M: The Music Department by the Studios?

Series Director: Yes, they're under my name

Miss M: Perturbed Suuuuure

Now dear readers the Music Department is basically about a 2 minute walk from where our wonderful Series Director is at the moment. I have to take the stairs or elevator 10 floors down, walk to where the Department is and converse with someone about some CD's that I know nothing about.

Whilst he could have walked out of his edit, down 1 flight of stairs and got them no problem.

Do higher up Creatives just enjoy having people that they can get to do things?

Just as Miss M is sitting down to eat her lunch

Email from Series Director: I forgot tape 1, could you bring it down?

SERIOUSLY?!

Hey, least I got some exercise today!
