Of facials and felicitations.
I lost my job, by the way. Some drama caused work performance and I guess it was their last straw - of course, I can't bill time, so *shrug*. I found a new job, though, as a temp, working for a law firm with questionable clients but, hey, everyone has to have a defense, right? And no, it's not criminal law. Torts, rather.
So with no income, I managed to spend about half my remaining bank balance on... MAKEUP SUPPLIES! New parts for the room, new sets of supplies from Cinema Secrets, and then the FACE CASTING PROCESS! My goodness. So we're doing new prosthetic pieces for Frontier Guard, as part of that process we have to take a plaster casting of everyone's face (where everyone being everyone with prosthetics, which is a lot) and that has been more drama than I can tell. I've wanted to bang my head against the wall a few times which, frankly, wouldn't matter much considering I'm one of the few people NOT being cast. We've run into a rather large stumbling block, however, as the expertise and materials we need for the next step has evaporated. All in all, about $900, if not more, and it may end up being all for naught. Even if it isn't, I'm anticipating another few hundred bucks. All this for makeup. I sure hope it's worth it.
Also been building stuff. Ya know, being out of work the last couple months - I would have thought I'd have been doing nothing. Playing Warcraft, reading stupid blogs, and that's it. But I've felt more busy, and more tired, out of work doing show stuff than I did at Dalina! OK, maybe it's about the same. Who knows.
Hopefully this temp job I have really is just temp, and they don't try to hire me cause I'm not sure I could stand working there, but if they try to hire me, I'll take it. So long as I get a pay rise. Cause, ultimately, the way that the show has been bleeding Rob and myself dry, we could do with the income right now.
I even had to ask my mother and father to help me with rent. As soon as I left University, I promised myself that as soon as I got my first job, I'd take absolutely no more money from them. And it's not like my mother doesn't offer, often, whenever I'm getting a bit low - but I never have, until now. Asking for help made me feel like crap, frankly. Hopefully I'll pay her back by her birthday.
How are you?
