sundayness

Pinafore reached a new level of ridiculous last night - when they informed us A) we do not have a SUnday show and B) We have to strike the set ourselves next Sunday - I WORK at 6:15 so there will be no set striking for me. One disgruntled old lady wearing a rather disturbing "kooky cousin" sexy alien costume said "well then you won't get cast in the next show!" Oh - darn...I was So looking forward to paying lots of money to be stalked - picketed - poked by the ladies standing next to me - and being surrounded by mass quantities of junk food.

I did an Alice in Wonderland tea party yesterday -it was the hardest party I've ever worked - the kids were - not fun. The parents were great - but the kids were mutinous. They would cry because they wanted to dance, then cry because they didn't want to dance. Then they'd cry because they wanted to eat cupcakes - but then they'd cry because they didn't want to eat cupcakes - all they really wanted to do was hide under the table. My boss was there and she wanted to run the party her way - and also take pictures for her website - which involved asking me to leave the action mid-limbo to take a posed picture. Which made the kids cry more - What a headache! But I need the money - and there are worse ways to make money - and things that pay way less an hour. So I'm thankful to get work at all.

I am also thrilled that I FINALLLLLY got a day off. I've not had much of a chance to breath and organize life and most importantly SLEEEEEP for more than 5 hours. Do laundry! YAY clean leotards!
