There are few areas of anticipation in an actor's life like that of getting a residual check in the mail. In the months after you've completed the big project there's the anticipation of "how big will the amount be?". In the long years after a job there's the guessing of how small it will be.
Instead of caressing the envelope and creating your own slow reveal, you get an email stating: SAG-AFTRA Direct Deposit Notification
Click, you open it and:
Oh yeah. I'm on the lookout. Bazinga.

Carly Simon - " Anticipation"
Waiting for the first drop of ketchup from the bottle.
Watching paint dry. Watching the grass (or weeds) grow.
Waiting for my residual check to show in my account.
All the same things.

Dear Mr. Miles,
We are delighted at the news of your residual windfall. Congratulations!
Unfortunately, due to inflation, cost-of-living, cost-of-production, and local rainforest employee minimum wages on the rise, gumballs have been priced out of your range.
We are confident that soon, with diligence and hard work, you shall have the necessary funds to procure one of our fine products.
Please note: requests for specific color/flavor are still not considered.
We look forward to your order!
Sincerely,
The Gumball Cooperative LLC _________________ * * * * * * * * * *
