She: Oh, thanks! Didn’t see it.

Me: No worries. 

She: Did they give you sides? In the room?

Me: Oh, no, it’s just the ones they emailed out. Nothing new in the room.

She: Oh. They emailed sides? [picks up phone and starts scrolling through email] I totally didn’t even look.

Me: Don’t worry, it’s really easy, like two pages.

She: [laughs] I, like, always do this!

Check your email, fellow actors. Look for attachments. Especially when the email includes things like “sides are attached” or “see attachments” or “we sent you the sides in both pdf and word format”. Being a smart actor leads to being a working actor. Plus, she had no idea who I was - I came out of the room when she came in and could have easily been the assistant, the intern or the casting director’s daughter.

On a positive note? She had the cutest boots on.
