Scheduling
I thought that our play would be one of the apparant few to avoid all the time-bullshit-drama. Seemed like Jake and Emily had picked out some dependable people, or people that could least respect a time commitment unlike so many others involved with the senior directed plays this year. And I know that I missed a decent amount in the first few weeks, and as much as I wish I could have been there, I really don't think it was that neccesary. I have, however, made sure that I could be at everything these past couple weeks, being the time leading up to the show and me actually being needed for that small bit stage managers do for these plays. Well, and running the shows of course. I may not have been there all that I could, but I at least think I deserve to run the show. But no, apparently that won't be happening. As a result of A) Some random actor's lack of planning/commitment/whatever and B) Schedule shuffling done (as always) without my having a word of notice, I won't be able to run my show. I made an effort, I actually talked with my workplace so that I could work AROUND the schedule for the play (something that so many people seem to be incapable of doing). But nope, my planning gets screwed over by some random asshat's selfishness and lack of foresight. Not to mention all the people involved in the time shuffling who didn't think to actually check with other people. It's not like anyone ELSE has needs outside of this or anything. And she is an actor after all, right? I mean what's it matter if tech gets fucked over, anyone can do that. So if an actor doesn't get his/her shit in order, it's no problem for tech to take the fall. It's stuff like this that makes me want to be done with this department for good.
