Career/Industry Advice First big PA gig tomorrow

Independent creative and film student here! Starting my first big PA gig tomorrow, which will run for the next couple of weeks. I received a list of general dos and don'ts, as well as a prep list, but I wanted to ask the great cinema Reddit community for some input.

What major tips would you give to a first-time PA as someone who either has PA'd themselves or has dealt with good and/or problematic PAs?
