The Adventures of "Smart Ash"
Just me and my occasional ramblings!

Life is crazy....I like being busy, but I don't like all the stress that comes with it....
Now, being busy is not always stressful...just sometimes...

Though my 3 busy tasks are... School, Work and Rehearsal...

My mornings are for school....and on Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays I get until around 6pm to study and stuff... on Wednesdays and Fridays I go from School, home for an hour of homework and then to work and then back home to shower and then right to rehearsal...

Besides working Saturdays I really do not mind working...Especially Wednesdays...My favorite day to work is Wednesday...

Anyway...the play is getting super stressful...to the point I want to quit...as embarrasing as it is to admit I am almost in tears right now...

Monday night we did a cue 2 cue rehearsal, which is where all we do is jump from light and sound cue to light and sound cue....

Tuesday night we did a full run thru, lights and all....well, the director decided the play was too long, (DUH, it's a Crucible, it's a long play!) So he began cutting parts of the play...(stupid son of a.... ) THEN he decided he wanted stipended call times...this is AFTER I finish a SINGLE call time call board...so now, I have to do it ALL over again...the first one took about 2 hours!
Then, during the run, the director sat in the light booth and wanted changes on EVERY light and some sound cues..
Many things went wrong, but I don't really care to list them, probably as much as you'd all like to read them.
We have to wear these headsets and I swear on and off I am frekin invisible... I HATE that... Only when they want something do they really pay attention... several times I tried to tell Elicia something and she would completely ignore me....and when I was trying to tell them HOW to load and work the staple gun they would not listen...I finally almost at a yell said, "CLOSE the trap, then load, then put the plunger in." And the director looked up and said *either joking or mocking I am not sure* if you know how to do it why don't you... and I said "Because knowone will LET me do it, and THOSE are the wrong staples anyway, they are too small!!"
And then I sit there and watch them continue to try and shove to staples that are too small into the staple gun....

Gee, I guess I am invisible...

But yah-know what??? FINE!!! If THAT is the way she wants it...NO MORE nice girl. I WILL NOT show up early to help, I will not run her stupid errands for more staples because they couldn't buy the right ones the first time, I will not help her move things that I am not responsible for...I will not stay after to help with anything.... I will no longer be her stupid little go-fer and do things at a beckon call because I am SICK of trying SOOOO hard to please people when all they do is ask for MORE.... ALL this time I've been trying to please them, trying to do things they want and like so I will fit in and they will like me, well, I am TIRED of it and it's going to give me a mental break down....

Okay...I am done....I guess I better go do my homework and then go to work...

Did you ever hear the joke about the man and the hooker? They got ready to get down to business and she saw his itty bitty member. She said, "who are you going to please with that?" He said, "myself!" Quit trying to please everybody. Just please yourself! It's one thing when they show appreciation but another when they don't!
