I just got an e-mail from a show stating that their records indicate I have an application ready to submit and they want to make sure I don't miss the deadline. Now I understand and even appreciate their concern, but how can their records show ANYTHING if I haven't submitted it yet?
This means they are able to see MY Zapp page before I've decided what to do. I find this quite disconcerting. Do they know the rest of the shows I have applied to? The ones I am in the process of applying to? Could they, even unconsciously, make decisions based on whether I may have applied to other shows on the same weekend? Can they see images that I have tentatively picked but not yet decided on?
Having all the myriad, well-intentioned jurors around the country making decisions year after year as to whether I can have a job on a certain weekend is stressful enough. Having them know at a given moment what I may be doing BEFORE I apply is a bit too much.
Can this ability to see what I MAY do be changed?
