Not that much new to write about, but thought I would update that the 2 jobs this week went well. The 2 paying jobs, in addition to the 2 free jobs that I did over the course of 4 days. The thing with that is that, although my feature has weird-ass hours, when you mix the weird-ass hours of FOUR different jobs together, crap, man.
Friday night I got 3 hours of sleep between my late shoot, my inability to go to sleep immediately when I got home, and my early shoot the next day. Sat. night I got 5 hrs., which would have been OK if I had recovered from the night before... Sun. we had a dawn shoot, so we were there at 5 am. Did our thing then had about 6 hours off (was only able to take an off-and-on nap for 2.5 hours) and came back until midnight. However, I wanted to stay up as long as possible because of my overnight the next night, so I went to bed at 5 am -- over 24 hours with a 2.5 hour nap. Mon. night was overnight 9pm-7 or 8am. Had a couple hours to unwind, then went to my NEXT JOB at 11 am. At about 7:30pm started to get quite delirious, having been up for 27 hours. That is, the 2nd day in -- well, I can't count the days because it's hard to tell them apart, but my 2nd >24 hour day in maybe 4 days' time. Got 8 actual hrs. in that night. Then got up before 5 for a 14-hour day Wed. (which is really nothing at this point). Today was AWESOME -- we shot from 11am-3pm. And we were DONE. What the hell? So tonight I'm going out, just to make sure I'm not too rested for our 9am shoot tomorrow.
I really don't mind being tired and all, except that I know I'll get sick if I keep it up. Hopefully the last couple days will be OK, and then I'm back to having nothing lined up yet, so we'll see. I'd still rather do this and not sleep than any of my stupid day jobs.
