Michael: The really good news that I have. Well, it’s a good opportunity that has popped up.

Whitney: Okay.

Michael: I got an e-mail last night from. [Beep] Who is an operator on. [Beep] And she’s now about to be the director of photography of a new show in Pittsburgh called. [Beep] That starts in December.

Whitney: Okay.

Michael: And she contacted me last night through my resume and to see if I was available. From what I read online, it’s a single camera job, so I would be the only operator on it.

Whitney: Wow.

Michael: I would be, it could be good. It's for ABC, so it's a whole new series that just got green lit for them.

Whitney: Okay, so it's a TV show?

Michael: Yeah, prime time comedy.

Whitney: Sounds great.

Michael: Yeah.

Whitney: I’m excited for you.

Michael: We'll see what happens. I got to go in for an interview.

Whitney: I’m just relieved that it would be in Pittsburgh, so it wouldn’t be that far away.

Michael: No, it wouldn’t be too bad.

Whitney: I was like terrified you were going to be like, so, I got this amazing opportunity in California.

Michael: Uh, no.

Whitney: I’d be like I’m so happy for you. [laughs] You know I’d be happy for you.

Michael: So everyone misses you here they want you here.

Whitney: Yeah, that would be nice. I just wish, I mean, but then again today was like so busy and I took calls at the studio today that really only I could have taken. You know, we had somebody call for oncology massage, somebody that was wanting to know, you know, the details and things that an ordinary therapist or receptionist wouldn't be able to get across effectively or comfortably. Or even it would just be out of their scope of practice, out of their expertise. And so it was.

Michael: Yeah.

Whitney: So I think about that, I think about missing those calls. I think about just how busy it's getting and how much this place needs me, and it’s frustrating.

Michael: Yeah, I miss you, though. It’s hard. It’s not easy being away like.

[ Bell Rings ]

Michael: My profession isn’t I just turned you off! Ugh!

[Laughter]
