Sometimes I'm a shit

Well, I did something today that really showed me for the asshole I can be sometimes.

There's an e-mail list for the show I'm doing at the moment. I'm an outsider, coming in to act with a member company. One of the cast members hurt his leg on Saturday at rehearsal, and I had asked him via the e-mail list how he was doing. He replied back, saying that it wasn't good, and that he needed a heating pad, and if anybody had one, could he please borrow it. Well, since heating pads aren't expensive, and I knew that if he was asking, he must not have the money to get one, I said that I didn't have one, but would be willing to go to Rite-Aid and get one for him, and then he could return it to me. Unfortunately, I did this via the list, and he replied, privately, saying that I had pegged him and embarrassedly so, and that he could not afford the luxury of a heating pad, and that he could not let me pick one up, but thanks for the gesture.

Now, I feel like a total shithead. I sent him an e-mail back apologizing. Sometimes I put my foot in my mouth.

/sigh

Oh well, not much I can do about it now.
