So, according to my "week ahead" tarot reading, that I did on Monday, today is supposed to be my "Receptivity" day.
Hopefully this means I'll get a phone call from someone going "Congratulations, Amazon! You got X contract! It's three-to-six-months-long with a possibility of extension and pays $16 per hour!"
That'd be really fantastic. :-)
That said, I've spent the last two hours or so sending out resumes (or, in the case of the kijiji ads, offers of resumes) to various people (many of whom, I suspect, are temp-agency recruiters. :-P)
I applied for a part-time, down-town admin position -- Noon-6pm, five days a week, $14-$18/hour.
At $14/hr, six hours/day, I can survive. It'll pay the rent and the groceries (and I'm estimating fairly high as far as groceries go). (And a full-time one, at the same place, and with the same rate of pay).
I can't do anything *more* than that, but I can survive. And it would leave my mornings and weekends free to do other work, if I could find it. Which, hopefully, I'd be able to.
Anyway. I'm... stir-crazy is not the word. Juggling emotions like rather frightening chainsaws, or something.
Trying to keep track of everyone I've contacted in my search for work, so that I know who I have to get back to, and when.
The (unpaid) photoshoot on Sunday... the photographer is estimating four hours of shooting.
Seriously? Four hours? Is he kidding? Is he just a really bad photographer? Is this normal? How the hell many artistic nudes can one come up with in that time? I mean, seriously. Most (not all, I admit, but most) of the other photographers I've worked with have managed to collect a significant amount of totally useable shots from me in the space of one hour.
I confess I'm feeling a little, like, WTF about this.
But maybe four hours is totally normal. (Or maybe he's just being oportunistic since I'm not getting paid. Granted, neither is he).
Anyway. Other people who have modeled: Is this weird?
Right.
So it's almost 10am. I should probably start phoning the temp agencies. :-P (Gawd, this is just... frightening. It's sad and disheartening in the extreme, but it's scary too. And frustrating. :-P Wow. My life is just one big bundle of blegh right now. :-P)
Anyway. That's it from me for the moment.
