| Ah the joys of Monday |
[Feb. 9th, 2009|09:47 pm] |
I am not really complaining but I am documenting and showing myself just why I am so tired right now. I know there are many people who put in longer and harder days than I just did (in fact I have myself) but what is starting to concern me is that this is not all that unusual for my Mondays and/or Wednesdays. I start my day off at 5:50am, teaching in Arlington by 7am, then up to Plano for a children's show, then rehearsal for another children's show (a shortened rehearsal due to the actual children's show at 10), then a meeting at PCT. Now this takes us to 1pm and here is where my time could potentially open up (originally before I remembered that we were having a meeting I was going to head back to my house and go to the gym but that didn't happen) so I have a few choices to make. Considering I was hungry going to get something to eat made sense and could be viewed as down time...unfortunately no. I ended up scarfing my food and then quizzing McEntire about the props for Hello Human Female. Following lunch I then proceeded, since I was still up in North Dallas/Plano, I went shopping for some props (my main goal being to find some little stuffed animal kitties...oh and by the way, why on earth are there no KITTENS!!! Apparently Valentine's Day can be represented by every other animal, even a giraffe but not a kitten!).
Now I am going to make a side note here: I admit I was tired today so a bit more frustrated than if I was not so exhausted but I am sorely disappointed in the toys of this generation. Gone are the days of bins of stuffed animals, now they all have to be sold separately and in their own boxes and they purr or move or some other activity that requires batteries. Gone are the days of just plain ole metal jacks, now they have to be "giant Jacks" and they are plastic with just a few jack to a group. Gone is the innocence and make believe only to be replaced with electronic games and High School the Musical junk. I just really makes me sad to shop for toys these days!!!
But back to my day: My prop hunting kept me in North Dallas until around 3ish, leaving me just enough time to make it to TCCD (with all the traffic at that time) on time. But unfortunately I did have to swing by my apt for about 2 sec. and then when I finally made it to Arlington (after traffic was especially bad due to two accidents or maybe one...I don't know) I stopped once again at a Walgreen's in a last ditch effort to find cats. Finally I made it to school just in time to drop off some papers that I had to and then head off to class. Class was over at 6:50pm. From there I drove back to downtown Dallas to work at the Undermain, only leaving there at 9pm, arriving home around 9:30pm, drawing to a close the external part of my day and now only left with making octopus legs and a program (not to mention grading papers)
Oh Mondays! |

Try singing a little Gilbert and Sulivan after a rough day. Or Suddenly Seymour, that always works for me. If you can do that and not crack a smile, you've had a worse day than you think.\
