There is nothing like rejection to make a person feel bad about themselves.
I work for a large corporation. The company is doing a series of commercials and have decided to use real employees while filmining at my local office. It was open to the first 25 to sign up. (A bit of background...I'm an actor/singer by hobby. Love performing and am a regular with our community theater). I signed up and they had a preliminary meeting last week. We were told that they'd use all of us but there were no guarantees on who would make the final edited version of the commercial.
So we all show up this morning with a wardrobe selection, hair and make up done. Only to be told that they've changed the direction of the shoot and that they won't be using everyone after all. We're all to be ready in case they call, but meanwhile, go about your usual day. They selected 6 people out of about 20 and sent us away. Of course the attractive people are the ones who got chosen. Makes me wonder what would have happened has I been 50 pounds lighter. So much for a "reality" commercial.
Boo...disappointment galore. Oh well. At least I look nice for work today. Thanks for "listening" anyway.
