Back from four tiring days

I got back from four days in Portland visiting my daughter and spending eleven hours on Monday working as an extra on a pilot for a new police TV show. They used my car as a prop in the parking lot, so paid extra for that.
I did some shopping and yard cleanup for my daughter and walked her little Chihuahua (the grand-dog) twice a day for her as well. We were out to dinner every night, though she is still unable to drive with her right foot in a boot.
I fell asleep in my chair yesterday afternoon, went to bed early and did not get up until 7:30 this morning (late for me).
I am glad to be home.

I've heard that being an actor is more grueling than any desk job and given you've worked 11 hours in one day and now you're telling me someone else worked 15 I'd say that's fairly true @JamesHxstatic I'm so glad I didn't try my hand at it, then again I don't think I'm that imaginative to pull off an acting job.

That was a long one alright, but a guy told me he had worked 15.
She is a cutie alright, all personality.

My daughter does this 4 Square thing, where the thing is that you always try to go somewhere new. It drives me crazy. Sometimes I rebel, but there are so many great restarurants in Portland and she treats!

@JamesHxstatic She is surely happy that you have this extra job, so you can visit her more often.

She really did, I know. I need to go back up next week since we leave for the Texas trip the following week. My availability has been requested for another extras job on Wednesday, so that would work out well.

Playing a Mafia Don next month for a friend/director. I must get that Sicilian accent down. You never know when something new will pop up.

@JamesHxstatic Pity you're not closer or I could have lent you a violin case - or have I already said that in another post? 
Apologies if I have.

@JamesHxstatic - I'm sure that was exhausting. I'm not sure I would spend eleven hours working at anything! Glad you are catching up on your rest, now.

James, I can see why you fell asleep in your chair you had a very exhausting time. So, all these things you have been in will they appear at all on Netflix so maybe I can see them?

One show was for ABC TV, but I read that it was not picked up by the network to be a series. The other one is a Netflix show, Season 2 of American Vandal.

@Hannihar Well, that first season was pretty juvenile and had a lot of off-color humor in it, so that may be the reason. I suspect that the second season might be the same.

I wonder if Amercian Vandal will come here to Israel. I do not believe I have seen that on Netflix Israel. Sorry the other was not picked up James.

I think so too. I may get hired for another job on that same show for next week.
