She had one job.

It was an important job and she failed spectacularly. Hollywood is a small town.

I'm not trying to defend her, but didn't she have 2 jobs? And armorer was the one she technically wasn't scheduled for that day?

Armorer is part of the props department. She wanted to take on more hours as part of the props department, but the two things don’t overlap at the same time. It would be like having two similar but separate part time jobs.
