cross

For the record… I haven’t missed a day yet. This may just be a new record for me in this kind of endeavor.

Well, I now have to physically cross the pickets. I don’t want to. But I must. You see they bumped up the picket times, so now they’re already there by the time I get to work. And frankly, all that would happen if I refused to cross in solidarity is I’d get fired. I’m not in any union, much less the WGA. So, I’d get fired for not showing up to work, and I’d still be fired after they finally get a contract, and all I’d get is unemployment. Maybe. Probably not, considering how I would have lost my job. So, cross I shall.

Makes me feel terrible. Like I’m a rotten person. But, my family comes first, and their fight is not my fight. I’ll never get paid residuals ever. Even though I work on every single film out of my studio. So, while I feel for them, and their creative content, I cannot NOT cross (if the WGA will pardon my double negative.)
