Update, FINALLY!

I know I haven't written on here in a while but there has been quite a bit going on in both my professional and personal life. Professionally things have been going well with booking work but not so well with getting paid for the work I have done. I was fortunate to book a 2 week background job on Iron Man 2 shortly after I returned from New York City and that was a lot of fun. I was able to get the last 2 SAG vouchers I needed to be eligible to join (I got my first one working on Bruno earlier this year) but they put me in 5" heels and standing/walking/running in those things 15-16 hours per day was NOT fun! I also mis-stepped on set last Monday and rolled my ankle and have been having issues with it ever since but am slowly healing. Unfortunately I do not have the luxury of being able to stay thin without working out so I have had to wrap my ankle every time I hit the gym so that's a little bit of a pain in the butt but I'm dealing.

Payments have been a major headache of mine lately. As of today I am owed $2550 for work I have done, some of it dating back to the end of January! Its really frustrating to have to track people down to get them to pay me what I am owed. I have bills that I need to pay and find it irresponsible for companies to book someone for a job and delay paying them for BS reasons. The only people I have had no problems with paying on time are the production companies. I have been paid weekly for the work I did on Iron Man 2 and am thankful that they were such a pleasure to work with and I haven't had to track anyone down over the course of a few months to get paid.

Personally things took a turn for the better then reversed course a week ago, which I have to admit wasn't a total surprise. Its just difficult to stay focused on my career and moving forward with my life when a certain someone that is very important to me and who I thought supported me does a 180 AGAIN. I love them dearly but they are starting to become more of a hindrance with their drama than a source of encouragement and support. Looks like I have a decision to make rather soon....stay tuned for updates....
