Hi. I'm on an acting contract right now that I've been on since the start of September. I love the friends I've met, but the actual job itself is a nightmare. Many of our people have quit, today being the last straw AGAIN for some cast members. There's only one weekend left, and there's a lot of talk about 'sticking it out', but after tonight, I don't know if I want to anymore. I had a health scare at work tonight due to the conditions we're in (cold weather, unwashed costumes, harassment, high stress), so I'm already planning on taking tomorrow off because it's not worth my health. I'm not sure if I should return next weekend. My fear is that it screws over other people since we're losing people rapidly, but I was reminded tonight that is also not my problem to handle. Money wise, I wouldn't get paid for next weekend's work until Nov 19th, and even then I still get my security deposit back from our housing situation so I'm not extremely worried. Should I NOT stick out next weekend and focus on my jobs back in the city, taking care of myself, and my upcoming trip? I've never truly QUIT a job, so it's nerve wracking.
