A little fall color. Lake George, NY
This morning my supervisor told me that Martyr’s son, who shall henceforth be known as Paranoid, had decided that I was giving him forms without the proper signatures on puprpose. You see why we’re calling him Paranoid now. He is convinced that the world is out to get him, mostly because he goes through life purposely trying to screw everyone else over. I explained to my boss that I am not like him (which she knew) and that if I did give him a form without a signature, it was probably a form for a student who is dying, whose graduation we are trying to push through before she dies. Then I thought about it, and I realized that “Dipshit, the form I gave you didn’t have to go through the Graduate Dean’s Office because the student is in the School of Education, they sign their own forms, and you stupid fuck, the School of Ed’s Dean signed off on it and gave it to me personally and you saw her do it. Gaaaah. The stupidity really gets to me sometimes.
Another thing that got to me this weekend was rehearsal. Hours and hours of blocking. And adjusting the blocking. And adjusting it again. I wanted to slit my wrists. I’m in the rehearsal to watch the progression of the script, not to watch blocking. And even our Assistant Director, Lori, bailed out on the blocking rehearsals. I knit throughout, since I can watch rehearsal and knit at the same time. I think it irritated the director a little bit, but since in the end I could recall more problems with the script than he could, and more accurately at that, he couldn’t say too much. I ended up getting most of my brother’s scarf done, so that was one good thing to come out of the painful process. Hopefully this week will go a little bit faster. Or else I will kill someone.
