My plan for tomorrow was to go to the cop shop with AmJan to hand in the paperwork for our permanent residency applications. We both received a letter from the government at the same time saying that we were (finally) eligible to get a shiney new residency card that only has to be renewed every five years instead of every two years. Whoopee.

Anyway, I received a call this morning from a dubbing studio asking if I was free tomorrow to dub some extra bits for an animated feature I had voiced last year. Now that the animation was complete, they needed to touch up some of the audio. I agreed to come in and had to cancel with AmJan. Sorry Jan. Looks like I’m up early tomorrow for a 9:00am dubbing session.

Literally five minutes later, I get a call from another recording studio. They want to know if I’m available tomorrow to record a voice over for a Nissan X-Trail commercial. Publicity jobs are few and far between for me so I was more than happy to say “yes!”. Across town at 11:00am: booked.

I kid you not, I get another phone call 10 minutes later from a third recording studio in Barcelona. They heard my voice on the internet and wanted to book me in to record a voice over for a Movistar commercial. “Yes, sir!” and away we go!! That’s my 1:15pm spoken for.

The gods must have known that I was already scheduled for an x-ray tomorrow afternoon at 5:30pm to check out my fubar’d lower back, because the call I got about an hour later kindly requested my collaboration on a corporate video first thing Monday morning. What the fudge?!? I don’t record a single thing for over a month and then all of a sudden jobs start falling out of the sky? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. I just find it infinitely fascinating 🙂
