No wizard that there is or was Is ever gonna bring me down...
Hey kids,
Whats up in my life.... ummmmmmm... not much.
I'm really only sitting up and updating 'cause I'm kinda bored and I'm sitting up letting the (prolly) gallon of water I ingested get into my system before I got back into my effing stuffy room.
Well I in a show at OU. It is kind've pissing me off. Prolly because I've only been in a week-ish. Prolly not even. I feel like in every rehersal I am being picked on. Then again sometimes I overstep what I believe to be reasonable boundaries. I hate it. The shit that they do just aggravates me to an unsurrmountable end.
Brent our tech supervisor(?) just basically gives the mics to actors. Not that I don't trust actors with tecnical equipment (but really who should?) but I have been trained to make sure that they don't break it. And, when shit goes wrong I get blamed. Like this morning's rehersal, shit hit the fan, BIG TIME. Mics cut out like crazy, some didn't even turn on, mostly because the mics were being accidently turned off, and batteries were dying etc. It was stupid.
And Ttari. OMG TTARI! I don't hate this women but I think she can be incredibly flighty and sometimes genuinely incoherent and unaware of herself. Being the stage manager I would wish to see more intelligence out of her. She honestly expects me in an auditorium as big as the recital hall to stay on my headset the entire fucking show. Its not going to happen. Honestly, I am not going to do it. The way that they call shows (not to say its wrong) but it just seems pretty stupid.
Being the sound board operator (yea I know, I'm too tired and angry to come up with a cool name) I have to more or less be off of my headset the entire time until it comes time for a SFX cue or something of the like. But I have written all that in so that I am ready when it comes.
And when it comes to the music, OMFG! I shit a brick at the way these people do it. Fred the music director MUST be fucking loud. He can't actually accomodate the actors. Because that's not who we are there to hear. We are there to hear the FUCKING band/orchestra. So I push the limits on the sound board, and TRY not to destroy it or the mics and I get semi chewed out because I'm not pushing it enough or things are dying out and can't be FUCKING HEARD!
And whats worse is that we are doing this show in the FUCKING RECITAL HALL!!! This auditorium is made to PRODUCE AND AMPLIFY SOUND! WTF?! Why do these people not understand this. Sometimes I hate being a techi, because most people have no inclination as to what we have to do. Like "Can you turn the mics up?" "Well of course I can, but you still won't be able to hear them because FRED IS FUCKING LOUD!!!!!!"
Yea. So this morning I wasn't at rehersal after lunch because I had to work this evening. It was fucking crazy. I'm glad that I went to work. I got to see Lea and Lisa some more. I love those girls, they are some of the funnest ladies ever!!!! They make me feel really good about me lol.
I did leave Brent though to run the show based off of my notes. I'm kind've scared for him though. lol. I'M SORRY BRENT!!! But I guess I did what was right, because if I had stayed I think I was going to chew off Ttari's ear, or her face, she's not THAT good looking. Wow. I'm really jst being incredibly mean here. lol. I think I have needed it lol.
I still haven't gotten my FUCKING tax money either. I want it. I NEED IT!
I saw my mommy at the library today. We talked. I felt bad because yesterday and the day before I felt like calling her and didn't. And the fact that we both had shit weekends. It kinda blew.
But it was nice to see my mummy.
I feel like a complete and utter bitch now. Though it does feel good to let those inner demons go I guess. Well tomorrow is the opening show. It'll be interesting but I know I'll get through it. Then I'll go to work and vent m ass off lol.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Well if you guys have any inclination on seeing this show PLEASE let me know and I'll see what I can do about getting a seat for you guys!!!
Talk to you kids later!
