What I Really Hate Is ..

Posted by: suzybytheounce on: January 25, 2012

when I’m booked on something for a certain day, and I can’t or should I say I won’t, try to book anything else … because my word is law to me. I know a lot of people in the industry don’t always keep their word, but keeping my word in important to me.
Sooo, the reason I’m venting on this issue is .. and I assume you’ve already figured it out, but here goes.

I gave my word to “Lovelace” that I would be available for this Friday, because they didn’t get to the scene I was supposed to be featured in last Saturday.
So, keeping my word, I let a ton of jobs go by without submitting for them, because most of them, if not all, wanted more than one day of shooting .. And, I sure you’ve also guessed that Friday was among the days they needed in there multiple day shooting schedule.
Ouch, that hurts when you have to let multiple days of work get away.

And .. I guess you don’t have to be clairvoyant to know what’s coming next .. I don’t know why I’m bothering to finish this story, but .. Low and behold … this Friday’s shoot day was moved to next Monday…. and now I have NO work scheduled for the rest of this week.
I realize that the shooting schedules get behind a lot, in this industry .. I mean, I’ve been on so many sets .. so I understand why, but I just hate it when it happens.

Although, on the Up side “Lovelace” is a SAG gig for me, so I get paid more. That softens the blow just a bit.

Oh well, I still feel it’s more important to keep my word.
Who know’s, maybe I’ll get something tomorrow for Friday and maybe, just maybe it will be SAG too!
OK, one can dream .. lol
