Allow Me To Explain

Here's how many wicks are in my candle right now: (no, that's not dirty, sicko, I'm burning the candle at not one, not two, but MANY ends.)

1) STC - the job I need for moolah, but the job that takes up the most USELESS time (ie: email exchanges, taping kisses, and tearing tickets ALL a huge waste of time where nothing USEFUL is done, and I can't DO anything useful otherwise because these are all TIME CONSUMING!)

2) WSC(a) - I'm still staff at WSC, so there are paperworky things that need to be done that I need to get done but really can't get done because of reason #1 and because I'm IN the show. Not that I don't want to be in the show, but I need TIME that I don't HAVE. It doesn't help that Karen was robbed of her laptop last week, leaving me with most of the information and project stuff. I'm behind.

3) WSC(b) - I'm in the show. I'm TIRED. I'm so TIRED. I'm exhausted from hopping around and from Saturday's insane rehearsal (details to come in Injury Adventure). I love the show still, and the rehearsal definitely made our show exponentially better, but I'm. Just. So. Tired. And as mentioned in reason #2, it makes it pretty hard to do my staff stuff when I'm in so much of this show.

4) Longacre Lea - I offered to do the schedule to take some of the stress off of Kathleen. This must have been my first step into insanity, because WHAT was I thinking!?!?! I'M too busy to be making a schedule! Especially when I'm working around 10 other actors! In shows! Or in NYC and can only come down for 3 days out of the week! And the director's in the show! And the co-directors (me and someone else) are the people in shows! NGVKGDVGFBH! I'm excited so much for this show because it's new and awesome, but I'm STRESSSSED!

5) Folger - is really fine, I just wish I could be there more. Scheduling is a bitch, too, I mean, I had to move my work schedule at STC around inventory day, which then changed. That's about it. That wick is very non-explosive.

6) Personal Life - which you'd think is non-existant. No. I live with my boyfriend, who has been sick of late, so I've been doing my best to take care of him, and staying up later so we can talk and hang out outside of the theatre. We went to visit his family yesterday on what was my first day off in what feels like weeks. We're planning on cleaning and redecorating soon... as in Wednesday, my NEXT only day off in what feels like weeks. Buying more furniture, painting, etc... I'm exhausted just thinking about it. I want to do it, and we shouldn't put it off until we're both free because by that time we'll be in Belgium.

So right now I'm book from NOW until SEPTEMBER with something to do just about every day of the week, work, show, work, rehearsal, work, clean, other work, paperwork, rehearsal, show, paint... when do I sleep? I need about a month of sleep at this point...
