Well I'll be dang-blammed if it isn't hard to actually come up with a solid job in a week's time, or at least for a fellow like me. The last one, the hospital typing job, came pretty damn easy after only four days of waiting by the phone for the temp agency to call. This time I got to make phone calls to people who sound like they're extremely busy, who then refer me to people that sound really disinterested in talking to anyone period. I've been calling restaurants this whole week, and they usually tell me to call back in two or three days, which means today is follow-up day. I want to check restaurants first because that has waitering potential, which in this town would probably give me a good three-hundred a week pay or so, which isn't substantially less than I was making back at home. And anyway, all I'm looking for right now is two hundred a month for food (I eat a lot of spaghetti, like the man said), and the rest is to put in the ol' savings account for future "Oh my God I am an actor/writer and I have absolutely no source of income right now" kinds of situations.
Speaking of acting, I'm in Erin Daley's show "A Fine Piano", which is kind of like an hour-long composition on Chekhov's "Three Sisters", where it's all a dream that Irina is having and such theater-type concepts. If you're in the area, come and see it. If not, I understand gas is expensive and that sometimes a nice night at home can be just the thing after a long week.
