Theres a Fine Fine Line

so its like 11:30. today i woke up at like 9 after getting about 5 hours of sleep because i have insomnia and my brain likes to not let me go to sleep. anyhoo i wake up at 9, musical rehearsal started at 10. im not actually in the musical i am the student directorish thing. anyway i get this really cool headset and me and three other techies start working our asses off to move these HUGE set pieces.
i hate lazy people.
there are people who are supposed to move certain pieces on and off and generally they arent even there to do their job and when they are actually there, they just stand around with their thumbs up their asses looking like idiots. ugh i hate it. then i tell them where to go, and when to do it and they just kinda meander over there like we have all the time in the world. we dont. we have to change sets in under 30 seconds. that may sound like a lot of time but when you are moving things that take more than two people to move, and trying to play life size tetris around other sets and curtains, that shit is hard. it makes my achilles hurt really bad, which im pretty sure is torn again. i have a doctor appointment tomorrow to see actually. anyway back to rehearsal. so we started at ten and right before 1 everyone got a lunch break. not the techies. that doesnt bother me, i can go without eating. what bothers me is that people get mad at us if we yell at them so we can get stuff done because we never get breaks, we never get to just sit and hang out and wait until our scene comes up. our scene is every scene.

guys if you ever get a part in ANY production. THANK YOUR TECHIES.!
i hated that i didnt get a part in this musical but you know what, i have really learned and gotten a new appreciation for techies and their jobs because this shit is hard. we come before the actors and we leave after them.

i got done at practice today at ten thirty pm. that is twelve and a half hours of rehearsal!! not sitting down, not getting a lunch or dinner break. i got a red bull and thats just because the empty cans were needed as props. AND I DONT EVEN GET PAID! well kinda i have a theatre scholarship.

i think this is all for now.
i have more to talk about but i am tired and i have a class at 9 tomorrow morning. :D

peace and love.
