Another 14 hour day. I’m not the only one. It’s the world of community theatre, we volunteer our lives for art. And as a tech person, for other people’s glory. But tonight I am tired. Apparently this has been a busy month as I only noticed this today
I finally hung my picture,
I committed myself to a deadline and this is one of the rare times that I am scared I am not going to accomplish it. Now, to be fair to me, I am re-entering information that was incorrectly done in the first place and all was not caught by the auditor which is frustrating for a bookkeeper. They should know more than me. It the bottom line, my Dad taught me my word and a handshake is a binding contract. Hmmm, I didn’t shake on it. I was busy at it when my alarm rang to head to the theatre. I needed to meet three guys to get all the Tech set for media night. So I shut it all down , didn’t even go home to eat or feed George and was there just before 6. I was honestly frustrated when 2 of the 3 didn’t show up and the 3rd was late. At least he let me know. As I waited I noticed this tribute windowsill to dear Bud. I am grateful he hasn’t been privy to some of the stuff going down.
It was so satisfying to solve a problem we were left with in tech world last night. Sanjay was happy when I pointed out the changes and hooked the laptop up to run the curtain call via the projector. I instructed and he climbed the ladder. together we got it working and Michelle, one of the Directors was very happy. I will admit to being sad when credit was only given to one person. It shouldn’t matter but I feel so fringed. I know there is no one else who would come and sit on the floor for over two hours at awkward angles trying to remain hidden while following the script so as not to get distracted and then climb a ladder every night to reset a special effect before locking it down and going home. I am 57 , not 27. Grouchy moment over. It is all for the greater good, right? And don’t get me wrong, I really appreciate this man.
My darling Diane also made my day by leaving leftovers ready for me to pick up. I was going to eat them but decided I need a good lunch tomorrow instead. I am constantly gobsmacked how kind and loving she is to me.
Oh yeah and I probably shouldn’t online shop when I am so tired as I bought a bathtub before I left work tonight. free delivery And on sale, can’t wait till It gets here at the end of October
