Saturday show

Well, we made it through opening night without much fuss. The music was a little slow but overall we did good. It wasn't the worst run through we ever had. That would be dress rehearsal. hehe. I think tonight's show was the best so far because the audience was really responsive and laughed at practically everything. There was lots of ad libs but that just made it better. Alison is so funny, I swear she could cuss out the pope and people would be rolling in the floor in fits of laughter.

Tomorrow is a matinee and then we have 3 days to rest which I'm so glad of. Everyone seems to be burned out with this show and this is only the first week. They come walking through the door saying "I don't wanna do this play no more" and I'm right there with 'em. I don't know why but it's kinda like this play wasn't meant to be done but we're doing it anyway to spite the theater board.

I really want to take a break from the theater for a while, but next year they're doing Smoke on the Mountain and Steele Magnolias and I've wanted to be in both of those plays ever since they did them the first time years ago. What to do, what to do? I guess I'll wait and see who the director is and who else is going to be in them.

I still don't have a job and I'm getting really discouraged about finding one. I've put in so many applications at places that I don't really want to work at but I feel like those are the only place that will hire me only nobody's hiring! I know I could do something more challenging but I sell myself short because I don't have the right degree and I don't have any specialized training. I don't want to end up in a dead-end job that I hate, but I also don't want to be in a job that makes a ton of money that doesn't let me have a life. Office jobs sound great at first, but the ones I've had are so boring and repetitive that I look for any opportunity to get out. I want a crafty/artsy kind of job, and the only thing close to that was when Iworked at Dollywood making candles. That was the best job I ever had and I was insane to give it up. Even if I was making more money, I hated filing. So go back there, you say. Well, I wish I could but they have cut their employees and there's no room for me. Eh, I'm just gonna trust God to bring me into the right job. He's been faithful this whole time so why should he stop now?
