Ego

Monday is SVU. Tuesday and Wednesday Step Up 3D is making yet another request for people after stating several times that this past week would be the last week, asking for people's availability for the week and then cutting down the days and re-requesting. The downside? There was no mention made that they were looking for fresh talent under 25 that hadn't worked the project and they had been forced to re-use certain people over and over.

Some decided to take a positive spin on it and state that they were so busy and blessed to be working. Others decided to make it look like it was a chore and demeaning, yet they still worked the project. While still others claimed they got a day to work and decided on their own not to pursue any more days on the project, saying they "turned down" working more simply because of how tired they felt, like they have twenty other things going on to turn down this work -- when the simple truth was they were called for only one day of work.

Why the mislead? Ego.

Some ask if others have gotten work, and then state how busy they have been. Yet they show their own desperateness for work that they will pretty much do anything to just stand around melting in the heat. Then try to lord this over others!

I know I go back to this from time to time. It's a bit funny, a bit amusing and a little weird.

The question is, will I rise above it? I have no choice. I must.

Even in background work, where one doesn't have a line to say, there's still drama, jockeying and posing. Augh.
