*sigh* I have never been so mortified as I was this afternoon....
Today we were filming at a location with various actors and I was running all over trying to do multiple things at the same time. One actor (well known- let's call him Keith) came up to me, asked if he could get some of his clothes from my car. I was so busy so I just handed him my keys so he could do it himself.
At the end of the day, as I was packing up, I reached into my purse to get my keys.. There were no keys.. I started looking all over in my purse but couldn't find the keys. I looked up and said to Keith, "I don't have the keys. Please tell me you still have the keys?" He was like, "Huh? No, I gave them back to you."
I HONESTLY didn't RECALL that at all and I kept saying, "Are you sure? I don't remember that at all." We started looking all over the floor, tables, etc. The filming crew (about 10 people) got involved in the search also but we couldn't find my keys at all. I was getting real desperate since the location we were at is almost an hour away from my home and the hotel where I was supposed to take Keith to for the night.
Keith even went through MY laptop bag to see if I had stashed it there without realizing it, went through his coat, his bag, etc. He kept saying he was 90% positive he returned the keys to me...
After about 30 minutes, my boss was just getting ready to call a locksmith to come and make a key for my car when I decided to look MYSELF in my laptop bag - in the back pocket.
BINGO- there were my keys! I sheepishly pulled it out and called out to my boss that I found it. Some of the crew came up and asked where the keys were found. My boss shook his head and said, "it was in her bag the whole time."
I was sooooo mortified!!
I think I was just so stressed and frazzled and right in middle of doing things while Keith was returning the keys to me that getting keys back didn't register with me.
I mean, my boss had told me this morning that I had to find some actors for next Mon, Tues and Wed NOW so I was scrambling to email people and at the same time, one crew member needed my help with getting things ready for the next scene AND the producer wanted me to stand next to him near the camera and feed lines to Keith since Keith kept forgetting some of his lines. All of that were happening at approximately the same time.
Now, I won't hear the end of this from the crew or my boss. Seriously, they LOVE to tease me. I won't be surprised if tomorrow, they tease me all day about misplacing my keys. *sigh*
That's what they did the other day when I showed up 15 minutes late.. They kept calling me by a nickname I have (I have MANY nicknames) which I HATE and they KNOW I HATE it and when I objected, they said, "Well, that's what you get for showing up late."
Any of you have had embarrassing experiences like this?? HOPE SO!
If so, I want to hear them...
