Re: Another Door Slamming In Loudly In My Face

An e-mail I received yesterday from the agent I met with recently who was very excited about having a "more formal" meeting with me once pilot season started:

"Hey Aaron ,

Thanks for so diligently checking back in with me. I’m sorry to keep you holding but we have just finished the long and arduous process of evaluating our roster. I like you and your work very much but I just don’t have a place for you at _________ right now. I will certainly hold on to your material should our situation change.

I want to wish you the best of luck with your search.

Sincerely,

____"

...

I don't even know where to begin with that one.

So, I won't...

I'll just shake my head in disbelief and feel awful for a week.

I'll try not to count how many years I've been here.

I'll try not to throw things at my TV every time I see a crap actor who's somehow managed to make a living at this.

I'll try to keep from sighing heavily when I see something in the breakdowns that I'd be perfect for.

I'll try not to cringe inside when someone tells me about a really cool project they're working on.

I'll try to keep my heart from sinking when this goes to Sundance after I suggested (rightly) that my scene be cut.

I'll try to keep... Trying.

To do this.

And I'll try to be thankful for the struggle.




Just not this week...
