What does the sound guy do on a video shoot?

What does the sound guy really do on a video shoot?
Behold an hour of watching the sound guy speed up 60x.
He listens. A lot.
He writes notes on his phone.
He drinks.
He takes a panorama photo of the set and posts it to Facebook.
He adjusts the levels.
He gets up to adjust the pesky lapel microphones that fall into peoples décolletage.
He sits back down.
He takes a break for lunch.
Life is tough. :-)
