my week so far

paid my taxes finally. A friend of a colleague at work has a mum who is an accountant and she's apparently so good at working the system that she's able to write off so much from the son's taxes that the government ends up actually paying the son money instead if him owing them! Monday was the deadline and I, like so many people here waited right to the last minute to pay. Fortunately my bank allowed me to pay over the fone and it was done in less than 5 minutes. It also meant I'd have to wait a little longer to buy the macbook pro I'd been drooling over.

I've been put back on the same hapharzard schedule at work...just thrown in at anytime any random day of the week, no rhyme or reason.... so much for my talk with the bosses about things changing this month. We're supposed to have individual meetings with the bosses about our grievances and then a grande finale meeting with everyone this weekend... will be interesting if it actually happens.

I had a job interview yesterday. it was seemed ok, but a little too much like my current place of employment for comfort.

woke up at 5 something this morning. Actually my friend called me at 5 something this morning to wake me up to remind me that i had to go for a shoot. i wasnt too amused because i had 2 alarms going to wake me up 5 minutes later. i was denied 5 extra minutes of sleep. but i was grateful later because i just made the 1st bus and if i'd missed that it would be 12 minutes before the next one arrived and that meant i would be sent home. because, the casting director on this tv series i'm on, doesnt tolerate any kind of lateness, not even by 5 minutes. 2 girls right after me were sent home for being 15 minutes late.

fortunately/unfortunately it was a short shoot. the scene was supposed to be on a californian campus but it was like 10 degrees celcius, grey and clousy (combination of cloudy and lousy) and i had to wear a halter neck top and walk around like it was oh-so warm and sunny.
