Staying healthy while working as a PA

With the shooting season gearing up yet again, we thought we'd run a women's magazine-style article on HOW TO STAY HEALTHY WHILE WORKING AS A PA (Insert picture of cheerful looking model with a walkie here).

1) Beware the Crafts Service table:
For those of us freshly out of Emerson with a BA on our resume, craft services is not as much of a metabolism nightmare. For the rest of us, each (feature) job represents about 5 lbs: Consider this: blueberry muffins, snickers bars, medium-regular coffee, and chocolate chip cookies. Never mind the egg sausage breakfast sandwiches they're handing out the side of the truck. Our suggestion? Go nuts for a day or two -- seriously... make yourself sick.** By day 3, you won't want it anymore. You might even reach for the banana and the almonds.
Oh, and drink A TON of water.
(**We're not nutrionists or anything... obviously.)

2) Sleep:
If call time is 6am, and they didn't wrap last until 6pm... there is absolutely no reason to stay up for The Daily Show. Get your sleep. All that stuff's online, anyway.

3) Drive the Speed Limit:
Yes, you have runs to make, drop offs, deadlines (sort of). Everybody around you is stressed, and when they call you on your cell phone, you're suddenly the Jack Bauer of production deliveries. It all comes down to the next few minutes... ("Beep... beep.")
Do us, and the entire state of Massachusetts a favor? Don't speed. Don't run that light. Don't cut that Volvo off. Whatever you're doing, you'll get it done. They're gonna ignore you or yell at you either way... let's not kill pedestrians on route.
And wear your damn seatbelt while you're at it. There are PAs from the other shows out there.
