Jose I’m sorry your day was frustrating, but it does make for entertaining reading.
Thanks, DR Jane.
It was just a weird/bad day from the start. The casting director's assistant had told me
and the casting director that today's session ran from 10:00-6:00. Hmm... Normally, an EPA at Equity will run from 9:00-5:00, or 9:30-5:30. Never 10:00-6:00. (They usually start shutting down the lounge at 5:30.)
Nope, we're running from 10:00-6:00 on Monday. So...
My train downtown was running very slow, so I didn't get to the audition until about 9:52. I wasn't late, just a little closer to the start time than I usually like...
Are you set to go? Or do you need a second to get settled"Just give Jose a second, and then you send in the first group."
OK - The first couple of groups are pretty light, so you should be able to catch up.-I played my first audition at 9:55am. Whew!
Hmm...
Well, after a couple of groups went...
"Were we supposed to start at 9:30 instead?"
Yeah, I'm sorry. I had the times wrong.
-And don't worry about it, my train was late too.
"Oh, OK."
And the day just kind of went from there. We did "catch up" within the first hour, and lunch seemed to come sooner rather than later. That's always nice.
