Changes Are Coming
I got a temporary promotion at work on Monday so I’ve been there all week training. It’s been crappy because I’ve had no time to do absolutely anything. Last night rehearsals started up again so it’s back to that never ending streak of tiredness.
This past weekend (as mentioned in my last post) was my work’s play festival. As fun as it was…something really bad happened. They had a fundraiser on Saturday night and me and my boss’s friend were at the front desk, checking everyone in and whatnot. One of the guests (a playwright whose play was performed at the festival) bought us drinks. I was using my boss’s laptop to check everyone in because it has a credit card processor on it and my boss’s friend knocked over my martini onto the laptop. Uh ohhhhh…and now it won’t turn on at all. I’m horrified and don’t know what to do. My boss isn’t angry per se because accidents happen but still. The assistant director of the play I’m working on now told me that if my boss takes it someplace then they can clean it out and it will work again. It worked all night long but at the end of the night when I turned off the computer, it wouldn’t turn on the next time. Does that seem right to anyone? If you take it to be cleaned it will work again?
The plays at least were okay. One play was much better than the other but it was poorly directed I have to say. The other play was better directed but the script wasn’t great. Can’t win them all I guess. The company is done until February so it will be a nice break of not having to do one right after the other, and it will be easier for me because I’m not going to be running around like I have my head chopped off. And once this other play is done I will be back down to a normal person’s hours and can actually have a social life again. That will be interesting to say the least.
I’m trying to overhaul certain aspects of my life so I don’t get so stressed out. First of all, I care too much about what other people think, so I need to try and change that. Secondly, I need to slow down. I think I’m going to have my hands full with those two things for a while so we’ll see how it goes.
So yeah, cleaning a laptop after spilling liquid on it probably will not work. Sometimes, if they just dry out it may work if there wasn’t THAT much spilled on it.
I REALLY think you need to slow down. You are young and you need to have a social life to stay sane. Think of yourself, lovely!
