R and M got into a pissing match the other night.

M: We should do live band karaoke, competitively. You and me.
R: I'm cool, but you better bring your A game.
M: ExCUSE me? I've had five thousand people on their feet cheering for me every night when I gave my solo at the Shakespeare Festival!
R: So? I've had twenty thousand people on their feet cheering for me when I score a touchdown, and I didn't even have to sing.
M: That's because you can't sing.
R: Ah! Oh!
M: Maybe you should just sit in with the band.

The karaoke gauntlet has been thrown down. (It's purple and glittery.)

I'm working most of the day again today, but at least the program goes in to the publishers today so the pressure will be off. I'm going to go in early, get the program proofs sent out, and then jobhunt for a few hours. I have unrestricted internet access on the theatre's computers, so I can use the computer to access my jobsearch sites and use the resumes stored on my jumpdrive to apply. Amazing how I can carry resumes, fiction and fanfic, graphic designs, music, photographs, and a couple of reference books in a little bauble on a cord around my neck. Honestly, the future is now, and it's even cooler than flying cars.
Still. So. Tired.

I went in to work today thinking that I could add in the last few elements to the program, send it off, and work on my own stuff for a few hours. But...no.

I really like this theatre but our Development manager is an idiot. I've been telling her for two weeks that I need the donor list for the program, and this morning she decided it should be totally rewritten. She also said "Oh...we should add in an advertisement for our sponsor" and thus I spent all morning trying to find the info she couldn't find, which it's her, you know, job to have; then our General Manager had no idea how to fill out a form that we have to fill out for every program we send to the publisher.

I didn't really agree with the aptitude test that said I was a leader, but I could practically feel the leash I was keeping on Alpha Dog today. Lowly intern, yes. Idiot? No.

But I got to leave early, which was nice. I came home and slept. I'm nervous about a lot of things in life right now, which I'm sure is a huge part of the exhaustion. Unemployment, the set I have to build without tools, where the hell all my winter clothes are...but I'm doing ok. I'm working, I'm writing, I can't complain too much. :)

I wish I had enough energy to drag my carcase to the stove and cook something, but I suspect tonight I'll just make myself a sandwich and collapse. I do order out a lot less, which is certainly healthier for my bank account...
