10 things I've learned as an editor

1) You can not throw a DVD straight no matter how you try.

2) DVD frisbee is dangerous and painful.

3) If you don't take a break from editing at least once every few hours, you will go clinically insane.

4) You can not out-swear a producer. Even the foul mouth of the teamster pales in comparison.

5) Surfboards made entirely of discarded dvd remnants rarely float.

6) If you have been awake for 4 days, the raptors are probably a hallucination, but hide behind the avid just to be safe.

7) Just because you can see the first floor from the 6th floor doesn't mean you don't need an elevator.

8) Creatives don't appreciate it when you say that a spot is 'a hulking load of horse shit'.

9) People don't listen to lowly editors, so to be heard, you might have to do some work with a baseball bat.

10) People's skulls are more resilient than you'd imagine
