I haven't posted here in a really long time. I feel like I only turn to LJ when I need to just freak out or say things that I can't publicly. Maybe that's a cop out. Maybe it's self preservation.

I have callbacks for Drowsy Chaperone tonight. I'm starting to freak out. I've been real cool this weekend about it, focusing primarily on the mortifying ( Read more... )

I feel like most of my job lately revolves around he-said-she-said and then dealing with some kind of mop-up-clean-up. I livein a world of finger pointing and suppositions and assumptions and gossip and constant need for undeserved validation and sometimes I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.

But we've been here almost three hours and I'm up to $1500 in sales today. I know this because I've become obsessed with checking the sales report for the day.

Maybe we did a kind of dumb thing by going all consumerist on our own A's in the last few months. The fact is this: we do not have very much money, and we're starting to get bills.
