You gotta be ready to go

Remember what I wrote the other day about being ready to go to work at the drop of a hat? Today I got a rush call to work as a perp on the third season premiere of Blue Bloods. In case you don’t know, a rush call is when they give you real short notice for a gig; there can be many reasons for a rush call, ranging from a schedule change on the production to someone not showing up when they’re supposed to. In any case, I had a half an hour to show up. I was able to make it, so I did. If you’re unable to go to work on short notice because you’re not available, fine; but if you’re free and unprepared, that’s on you.
