Responsibility

I think I am a bad actor.

There are business things I should have done, or should be doing, that I am not, and that makes me a bad boy.

First, the worst, is with the commercial agent. It was a month ago that he said he would take me, and I still have not gotten my pictures to him.

He probably has forgotten about me. Or, worse, remembers me, but gave up on me.

It took me two weeks to get the new pictures reproduced, then a week to email his office for the letterhead, then a week to sit down and attach the new resume to my headshots, and that was a week ago, almost.

I leave for Vegas tomorrow and don't come back until Thurs night, so it might as well have been a week.

SS asked me today how that was going, and I kind of fibbed. I didn't want to come off as a jerky flake of an actor to him, for many reasons, but because I'm trying to get a job from him, and he was the one who went on the line for me with this agent.

Then, SS was talking to the students about all the things they should be doing as actors, and I am not doing any of these.

Sheesh.

I guess I really do just expect someone to hand it to me on a platter. I swear when I get back from Vegas, I'm going to get on the ball with this.

Yeah. Sure. You bet.

Good news. My knee feels totally fine. I'm sure it isn't, but it must mean that the injury is not super serious, and if I can just correct what I am doing wrong, I should be able to still do this.

We'll see what the doc says on Friday. The day I get back on the ball. Or on my feet. Whatever analogy fits; he's a sports doctor.
