Driving in LA on a Friday ...

is always so much fun!
I woke up fairly early and began working on some paper work. Even though I'm not working in the casting office any more, I still help the casting director out with all the extra paper work ... and there was tons as of Thursday. So my plan was to finish it up and then head into the office so that I could print it all out so she could sign it and fax it.
I was scheduled for a costume fitting at 5:00 for the film Snowflake which happened to be down town. So I finished up my lovely paper work, jumped in the shower to get ready for the costume fitting and arrived at the office by 2:ooish. Since I had to drive to down town on a friday evening, I left the office at 3:30. It wasn't the easiest place to find, but it wasn't too hard either. I got there 10 minutes early and the fitting only lasted 20 minutes. The wardrobe department seemed tired and unemotional. The changing area was a haphazard put together tent, with the walls only going half way down and the wind blowing them steadily. They handed me an outfit, I put it on and they snapped a picture. It really seemed to me that a fitting like this could have just been done on the work day, but hey, I get paid $32.50 for my time, and that's almost a tank of gas. The work day for this is supposed to be on May 14, and it's for a spoof scene of dirty dancing.
Driving home sucked, but it wasn't as bad as I had expected, thankfully. Since the fitting ended up not taking so long, I think that helped. As I was pulling into my parking spot, I got a call about the film I had gone to an interview for (the country western dancing thing). They picked me and also added a day. So I get 4 days on Race to Witch Mountain now. Still hoping it turns into a dance contract, but either way, it's 4 days of work, so I'm not complaining.

In other news, I took my first exam for dog training online on Thursday. I passed but the grade hasn't been posted yet. My second exam is due on Friday, and since I know I'm working Wednesday through Friday (Race to Witch Mountain), I'm going to study for it this weekend and take it as soon as I can.
