Be Careful What You Wish For...
Well, the inevitable finally occurred -- my agency called me on Veteran's Day, telling me that my services "would no longer be required" at the Thieves' Den... they didn't go into detail, 'but I guess my best wasn't good enough', to quote an old 80's ballad. So I can pretty much write off any thoughts of a career answering the phone calls of dumbfucks and deadbeats, AKA 'Our Customers'.
I'm so devastated...
... or at least I MIGHT be, had I not detested the position in the first place. And had I not just been hired onto a feature film that starts shooting at the beginning of December. It's lo-budget, and not going to be a cakewalk, esp. shooting in Kansas Wintertime...
"... but I like it," to quote an even older song.
Of course, come the New Year, the inevitable question of survival will again rear its head... but that's always been the case, even through the last recession of the early 90's... and that was when I was working at a 'regular' job and the big concern then was if the company was going to survive by restructuring, or would it be bought out?
Neither of those things happened - the company's future was determined by a crazy guy with a grudge and cheap Uzi's... and by that time, I was well into this career path, lucky for me.
So, we'll see what comes and attempt to ride it out, as usual.
Another thing to make my day: From the Creators of THE AMERICAN ASTRONAUT comes STINGRAY SAM.

When The Lord Closes the Door, He Opens A Little Window
Had one of the strangest days today... 20 minutes before time to get off work, I get told by my supervisor to "not come in tomorrow"... or forever, for that matter. This after a little after working there for the past 5 years.
A bit odd (or not so odd, since she waited until there were no other people around)... but no skin off my ass, since I start work on a feature film on the coming Monday and would've been gone the next 3 weeks.
I come home, check my phone messages - and after a quick call, I'm booked on another feature that starts shooting in late May into June... and there may possibly be two more features coming up in late summer.
Not that I'm resentful about the booting - after all, the first time I got booted from a job turned out to be a Very Good Thing Indeed - I'm more torked over the way that it was done, but not at all surprised.
It was a nice gig while it lasted, and some of the people were great - but I have to say I like my other work a lot better. So, we'll see what the rest of the year brings.
Lastly - there ARE exceptions, but for the most part - anyone who claims they're a Christian - 99 times out of 100, they're lying their asses off.
[for the entire story that the above link refrences - go here and look for the "Shootout at Pettit and Martin" pages.]
