A new low...(Day 52)

I passed on a few gigs in order to get on the set of  'Gilded Lily's' as background for 2 days.  After receiving a phone call at noon yesterday confirming my role for both days, I was told that I'd get an email after 7pm last night.  Never got that email, and after a confusing email correspondence with the casting director, I decided to go this morning anyway (after getting the call time and location from an actor friend).  I went to the set, which was on the stage at the Wang- pretty fucking awesome!  The check-in dude, of course, couldn't find my name and called the CD to which she replied, I emailed him last night that he wasn't coming in today, he's coming in on Thurs...  WTF?  All I got was a "sorry, someone made a mistake"...   I'm also giving up a SAG voucher gig tomorrow (but unpaid) for this shoot.  I now have been called (again) with a 7am call time tomorrow- cross you fingers...  UNGH, this industry is cold, I mean COLD.  Better get used to it, I suppose.
To make matters worse, I just applied to be a 'Mystery Shopper'- yup, it's a legit site secretshopper.com, but now another faceless business that's quasi-legit has my EID... and it also has my pride...
Here it is our moment of Zen (god help me!) :
