Learn to Laugh

So to ME, today was funny.  Most other people on set weren't so amused.  And you would think that I, SOUND, would care most.  But hey, what can you do?  Just like Elder Wirthlin's talk, sometimes you just have to learn to laugh at the difficult or unfortunate times!  The location we've been (and will be) filming at all week is pretty much the worst location for sound.  We are about 2 minutes away from a police station, and 5-10 away from an airport.  That alone is problem enough, right?  But today we literally had just about everything.  And it wasn't an airplane this take, and a siren the next take... it was everything... all at once.  And that's why I found it so amusing.  We had already started rolling, the director was about to call action, and then a siren started.  So we said "hold for the siren."  And just as the siren was almost gone, we had a garbage truck starting to back up, and then proceed to collect people's trash on the street we were filming on.  In the process of that, a plane flew overhead.  Then once the plane was gone, the garbage truck had pretty much finished and we were ALMOST in the clear... but then out of the blue, the next door neighbor's yard man started weed whacking... and then this guy with a mini ice cream stand thing (that 'dinged' every time he took a step) started walking down the street.  I can't remember which one of those we actually cut at and just waited for everything else to go by, but it was just funny because stuff like that "only happens in the movies," right?  Or maybe in this case, happens ON the movie...set.
