Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hivemind advice needed. As you may know, I'm a house manager at a local theatre. There are anywhere between 5 and 7 of us on staff at any one time. One of the other house managers is an actor and he and I tend to work the same shifts. This is his only steady gig, so he takes as many shifts as he can. However, when he does get an acting gig or another job, he just sends an email "hey, I'm doing this other thing, so I need these shifts covered" and every one else needs to scramble to take care of it. I tend to get screwed with either limited staff on shifts, not getting the days/special events I was promised, or I can't get anyone to cover when I need it.
it was a problem last season, and it's already happening again this season. I'm trying to decide if I want to say anything, since I'm generally the one that it affects the most, but I want to nip this shit in the bud and establish that he can't just do this shit.
or am I overreacting?

Nuh and uh. Sounds like actor boy has entitlement issues and while you can be flexible, it doesn't mean that you should always have to based on last minute dictates on his part.

is there any way he can give you some notice? Like would 24 hours be sufficient?

You are not overreacting. He needs to treat his commitment there as he would any other job. Minimum of 24 hour notice, and if someone isn't able to cover his shift, he comes in.

I have a question about meds: I called my pharmacy to get a statin drug refilled and I got spironolactone instead. Do they do the same things?

From my reading of the first few google hits, they don't do even remotely the same things.

Vortex, I'd say (1) you're being reasonable (and remarkably accommodating) and (2) actor boy needs to grow up and accept the responsibility. Giving you advance notice - at least 24 hours, preferably more, would be reasonable. And honestly - do these opportunities just spring up with no notice? Not being an actor, I wouldn't know, but I can't help thinking he must know well in advance.
