Wow interesting switch. I’ve never heard anyone take an “interest” in biz affairs. But yes,agree.
You should should be good with numbers and spreadsheets, as well as dates and contracts (invoices, PO’s, MSA’s, SOW’s, rate cards). If your agency is a SAG signatory, you could spend a lot of time plugging in talent numbers with producers to estimate costs.

Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone could give me some advice. I’ve been taking care of my extremely sick (literally on the verge of dying) dog. I work from home so it’s not too much of a nuisance but I feel distracted all day long and can hardly get anything done because I worry about my dog. I feel like I’d benefit from a day off or even half a day off but I’ve only been working for my firm for a month now, plus I have “discretionary time off.” Would it be okay for me to ask for a day off?
