I learned a new word today

Boss asked me to find the social security number of a girl who worked on our most recent AMEX spot so we could pay her properly. When I found her timecard there was no phone number filled in.

So I checked the callsheet.

Blank.

No phone number, just a call time.


I called the Production Manager and Coordinator and both were
unsuccessful in tracking her down. (So far.)

Doesn't she want to be paid? More importantly, doesn't she want to be called again for future work?

(Not that we're inundated with openings for Japanese translators
but you get the gist.)

I asked the coordinator what he thought her deal was and he said, "YAKUZA." Then burst into giggles.


Ummmm, what's so funny?

OH, I GET IT. ha ha.

Damnit I hate when I don't get jokes.
