I broke down and requested a withdrawal of some of my Equity RSPs to make sure I cover rent this month hoping that next month I'm not going to find myself in the same position staring at my ACTRA RSP statement. I signed on with another extra casting agent today so I now have four, count them, four companies working to find me be work to pay the bills.
One of the casting agents told me things were slow but starting to pick up, the other just told me it was slow so don't expect much. Is the whole work force slow right now? At least the areas in which I can work? One good thing that I can do is paint (rooms...not artwork) and I have a friend who is moving on the 15th and said he would pay me to help him paint his new apartment. And I can work around a work schedule so I won't be giving up other stuff should it come up.
PLUS, my friends Warren, Sarah and I are having a garage sale this weekend (keep your fingers crossed this sun and warmth holds out!!!) so that should bring in a couple of dollars. If you're free Saturday and live in the GTA, be sure to stop on by!!!
But I'm feeling remarkably optimistic. I know that the shift is right around the corner and this stress is going to ease off. I feel like the extra work thing is really going to bloom into something. I can't wait to get on set again.
Tomorrow I'll tell y'all about the exciting news around "Exotic Outdoor Adventures"!!!
