Time
This was an office based job and I was invited to work on a film production on a project that was already happening. And someone else was already doing all the paperwork and computer based work and everything. So when I joined the project I want to know what's happening, so please give me as much information as you can.

And it took me about a week to go through all the paperwork on the computer to understand what was actually happening. And because my function was actually making phone calls and arranging things to happen actually, and because in the first week I actually didn't make any phone calls, just because I wanted to know what was happening before even calling people and, you know, not having the answers, you know, when the ask me particular questions, the person just thought I wasn't capable of doing the job. And without even telling me anything he just came to me one day and said we don't need you anymore.
