Shitty Cellphone = Missed call by Casting Director Arg! So I may or may not have missed out on being cast in my first play in Seattle because my cell phone is a piece of shit. [More:]

My cellphone runs out of batteries within a day and turns off randomly even when fully charged. Customer Support says this: The problem is the battery, we can send you out a new phone...but not a new battery. Battery warranty was 2 months into my contract. Brilliant! I'm up for a new upgrade only this week so that's why I hadn't bothered to get a replacement phone yet.

I randomly checked my voicemail today because I realized that I hadn't checked it in a while and wouldn't you know it, there's an urgent message from a casting director wanting me to see him about playing a lead in a play.

I have no idea when the message was left. Plus, and this is where the story REALLY gets funny. One digit from the phone number he left was dropped from the message! I called every combination and over half of them were voicemails with no actual voice of the person.

I finally found the theatre's email address and shot them an email around 10:30 this morning.

I'll let you know what's up. Think happy thoughts for me! :(
CRAP! can someone help with with the "more inside". Sorry.

I hope you get a hold of the guy!

If you don't, you should call your phone provider up and guilt trip them into giving you a free month of service or something. Hell, even if you do get the part you should do that.

Remember when electronic gadgets were going to improve our quality of life???

Heh. Heheh.

Break a leg, you'll get the part.

Thanks guys! You all rock. Unfortunately, no reply yet to my email. It doesn't help that i'm going camping tomorrow afternoon to a place with no reception, let alone internet, and won't be back Sunday.

I really, really hope that this will happen. I've been feeling stagnant and needing to do my first play in Seattle. It's the entire point of me moving here.

I'll try calling again before I go on my trip tomorrow.

So, I got in touch with the guy! Unfortunately,due to bad timing, he's unable to audition me after work this afternoon and this evening I have a camping trip bachelor party! ARG!

He's still excited to see me on Sunday or Monday, but he may have to cast before then.

To be continued I guess...
