So today I see one of the sound guys from CBS at the Masters.  He is older so I assumed he would have some pearls of wisdom about the industry.  Was I right?  HELL NO!!!  This guy is the epitome of why I decided I would rather do random sound jobs than work in the industry.  He has a very large fuzzy and I asked him how long the mic was in it, using my hands as an estimation.  HE HAD NO IDEA!!!  HE DIDNT EVEN KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT!  He said some guy "built" it on Manday and he just new how to replae the batteries.  Well congratulations Bob you can drop a 9 volt into the box when the light turned red.  He actually thought it was a speciall designed contraption it was in fact identical to the fuzzy windscreens we used in college on a pistol grip and probably a long shotgun maybe 12-18 inches long.  When I said boom work is hard keeping your hands up, he looked at me like I was crazy and said "why would you do that we keep it down low and point."  I gave up at that point.
But yeah thank you Lord for once again pointing out to me why I left LA and don't really want to work in the industry again.  I do however miss my press pass.
