Another week without a gig and everyone can smell my desperation from miles away. I keep calling to be booked as a background because I am about to lose my mind out of boredom.
So I called in for this work the other day. The announcement asked for attractive ladies mid 20s to mid 30s. I figured, I am not so attractive, but I meet the age requirement. So I will try my chances. If I get booked, that’s great. If not, I won’t have lost anything.
The line kept ringing busy for about 15 minutes. I kept calling with 15-20 second increments. Finally, it rang. And rang, and rang. I must say, it rang for about a minute or at least, it felt like a minute. A polite lady answered. She got my information down, and checked my picture out. Then, she said, “I’m all booked now but please call back in the future.”
I must admit, I don’t do well with rejection. This rejection, I figure, wasn’t because it was booked, but because she was polite enough to not tell me I wasn’t attractive enough.
I always work very hard, so I most often than not, get what I want. But really, this time there was nothing I could work hard at to get that job. Generally speaking, finding a stable job has nothing to do with how hard you work. I have yet to figure out what it has to do with, though, besides a personal contact. Any ideas?
