Is That All There Is?

It is as they say, one of those days. Though it didn't start off too badly...

I called a few agencies and told them I would be sending or dropping off a showreel for them and all seemed fine. McKinney Macartney Management said they weren't taking any upstarts, well, what they actually said they weren't taking any more clients. But hey, most of they're clients are people I read about so... Casarotto Marsh
is another biggie I can forget about too. Frankly, they're aren't that many. I am only sending to 6 and I will have no chance for Dench Arnold or Big Fish. So let's say 4. Dinedor, Sara Putt Associates and Wizzo are my best bets (though the odds are anybody's guess). So I finished up my letters, cleaned up my DVD covers and burned my reels.

I got on my bicycle to get some envelopes. One my way back I fell. Badly enough to be limping now.

I went over to my brother in laws to print my letters and covers. Despite not being very much ink, he said it wasn't really on as he might run out and that he was finishing his grad project in 2 weeks. I never argue with him, or anyone else for that matter. I was still in pain from my fall. I simply said I would buy him a pack of black ink tomorrow (ie. problem solved). Despite his reasoning, I find it fascinating and sad that people can be so selfish. Yesterday he asked me if I had time, I could help him shoot a little video for a presentation he has. I said yea, whenever. Some people...

I came home and called the producer of the corporate for an update. He said he was sorry he hadn't been in touch but he had booked someone else for the job, someone who was unavailable when he spoke to me last (ie. yesterday afternoon). I was cool about it- as cool as one can be having lost a 3 day job that paid £1000+ and getting to work in Munich and Paris.

Things happen for a reason don't they. Then again, I'm not sure I would have offered to pay for black ink if I knew I was going to be out of the job as I can barely afford it and I maybe coulda waited because I wasn't going to be away the rest of the weekdays this week.

And now, I literally JUST recieved something in the maiI don't want to read. This is a cosmic conspiracy...
