Happy Easter. Different day, but the exact same monotony though.

I gave up my support again, because I didn't think that guy was on board with anything. The company were supposed to give me someone temporarily while he went back to Morocco this week, but then I was told on Friday that there's nobody else. It seems if you complain about the crappy quality from one of their employees, they just palm you off to your social worker because they don't want to risk providing someone else. It could be paranoia on my part, but I get conflicting stories.

I've had a lot of hassle to deal with. I will be stuck at my family's house until I bid on enough properties to be offered a home. That could be months from now. The house I share with my family has always been generally messy, but it's in a real state now because all my sister's stuff had to come back here as well.

I don't blame myself for feeling fed up. I wanted to find work as an extra in films, but having to find someone to go with me ain't easy. It's been a lot of hassle. I'm not sure what to do anymore. But there was no point in keeping that guy around. He was absolutely annoying.

I'm sorry you're having a tough time. I hope things get straightened out soon.

I don't think they have anyone else.

I'm so bored. I'm bored of the Internet. Games. Movies. Everything isn't what it used to be. I think this whole decade has sucked more than the 2000s did, and the 2000s sucked.

I don't know what happened with Avengers: Infinity War either; I think they are getting extras elsewhere, and they wrapped the filming, for now, in Edinburgh.

Would you consider researching the university online and seeing if you can get anything there? Even volunteering or teaching or something?

That sounds like a good idea. I did drama in college, but that was years ago.

What gets me is that they announce a new major film, in your area, and the agencies "casting" extras are getting their information wrong. The company working on the production obviously won't reveal anything if you call them up to ask, but these agencies always put up 'casting soon for a feature film' ads. Then when they are not selected, they keep the ad up.

People who are not smart like me either don't know how or don't think to use social media to check up on what's going on, so clueless people will sign in each day expecting a job, and never land one because that particular firm never got the casting deal. Universal Extras are not gonna be hiring extras, according to the Daily News. Yet they keep the ad up there about it on their jobs board to wind everybody up.

Absolute tripe, and so misleading.
