Holes in cardboard boxes

A friend of mine called me up last week asking me to help out doing prep for a test commercial he is shooting.

I was more than happy to help him out, he is a long time friend - and in this barren and hostile world I am trying to enter - I figure we need all the friends we can get.
(he is slightly ahead of me in the career stakes - he has made several "proper" commercials) but we are all still in the same boat.

Anyway, I spent eight hours in this room cutting holes into cardboard boxes. But It was nice, together we discussed all sorts of meaningful and meaningless things - and I spent it in polite company, with two friends I have known for years.
