been a long time since I've updated. Though I've been haunting the site regularly.
Been a tough couple of weeks getting the theater up and running. The first show was a real bitch and the second followed with practically no break and now not only am I running the backstage for the show but we're getting ready to start building the third. I pretty much hit the wall. I told both of my direct bosses that if things didn't change that I was gone after the mid season break. I can't and won't work every day and every night with no down time. I want a day off every week. I don't think it's too much to ask. But it's got me thinking about a change of scenery and perhaps business. I'm pretty sick of working 90 hrs a week and living paycheck to paycheck. Kind of makes me want to move back to Maine and find a non-theater job. I like theater but I'm just not feeling it lately.

aw, sorry to hear all of that. i hope things calm down a little bit. 90 hours a week is bullshit.
