The Run-around

Yesterday morning I had...an audition! I was sent out for a commercial as a "young, hip mom" and I was excited to go out again. I know, I know. It had only been a few days since I had gone out but I guess I got a taste of what it is like to be sent out everyday and I missed it. I also missed the turn to the casting office and almost missed my appointment time. But I figured out my navigational blunder and got there right on time. Came home and as I was walking in the door I got a call from my agent - can I make it to a last minute appointment for another spot? Why yes, yes I can. I had time to grab lunch, change and then headed back out to Santa Monica. The casting office was in the Third Street Promenade though - and it was packed. All of the parking garages were full. I finally pulled into a full garage and just circled until someone left. I was really glad that I wore flats instead of heels because I booked it out of that garage, walked at a brisk pace for a couple of blocks and got to the office a few minutes late but no one even noticed. I was a little sweaty but what can you do? I spent a total of three hours in my car yesterday running back and forth between auditions but I'm not complaining. No way. That is just part of the job.
