Yikes! Brush with Fame Ruined by iPhone

Argh.
So while I was underground yesterday, I got a call about a possible background role in a Jennifer Aniston movie--as a beauty queen, of all things. Too bad I couldn't answer it--so the nice casting lady left a voicemail.

I received that voicemail at 9pm last night.

WTF

My iPhone apparently decided that this voicemail was not important enough to give me when I got off the subway. So I fervently left a message at their office (obviously now vacated), and hoped for the best.

This morning, the suspense was killing me (she had mentioned coming in for fittings today) so I gave up my sense of decency and called the office again. The lady answered, and she was helpful and nice and even double checked for me that the part was filled before hanging up.

I've googled this phenomenon (iPhones refusing to give me voicemails) but nothing definitive has shown up. To add to my iPhone frustration, Apple just came out with a new one (mine was gifted to me only a few weeks ago) and now I must head to the ATT store to haggle a new one or get my 100 bucks back since the prices are going down. Which I guess will not be too terrible, since I will get the new new new new phone, something I never do nor am I fervent about it. My boyfriend will probably lose it though. Oh techies.

But sucks about that job, right? Hopefully this doesn't ruin my good acting karma that had been whirling about me lately. This week was similar to last in terms of getting my ass out there: met 1 new casting director (fun), auditioned twice (both went well, one VERY well), went to a callback (nerve-wracking and stressful as always, when your competition is staring you in the face and you know it's her or you....eeeugh), and oh yeah worked 2.5 days at the office and will have logged in an impressive 20 babysitting hours. And tomorrow I'm doing a Columbia MFA shoot being a sad girl in an abortion clinic--woohoo!!! Sounds like a blast. I'm not being sarcastic.

I feel as though I am on the industry cusp.....sooooo close to breaking into it. I've honestly never felt like this before. Perhaps my ambitions have been fueled lately by a surge in admiration for my peers and myself for having the literal and figurative balls to get out there almost every day and WORK IT.
