One of the guys there had won a Nicholl Screenwriting Fellowship prize. She actually ended up being Martin Short's assistant. There were a lot of people like me temping there. Then, someone would flick the light-switch up and down real fast and then you would push your co-worker down the aisle of file shelves as fast as you could.
