'Out Of Gas'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
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.
sumi! call the pharmacy.
I'll call them in the morning.
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.
I'd add that I don't think the amount of notice is the issue so much as sucking up the capacity for people to fill in on shifts, so that when someone like Vortex has an unexpected conflict, the willingness of people to take extra shifts has dried up. He needs to not sighn up in the first place if he has an idea there might be a conflict.
Yeah, I mean doesn't he have to audition? He'd at least have some idea that he might not be able to make shifts if he gets the part. I understand that it's his main source of income, but it's pretty rude to expect everyone to bend to his schedule.
