Snow has started to fall in South Dakota. Welcome to winter.

My coworkers informed me that, according to the Farmer's Almanac, Saturday would be the blizzard of the century. Color me suspicious. Ah, well.

I've been feeling like crap lately, and I'm attributing it to the lack of actual rest for the last few weeks. Work has been particularly rough on me, mainly because I start off most mornings feeling almost sick to my stomach until I eat something at first break. I'm sorely tempted to start bringing in a travel mug and making myself some tea in the mornings because we end up waiting until 6:30 for the boss to give us our daily jobs anyway. But it'd be one more thing to cart about in the morning, which makes me frown. My boss has been pissing me off, and almost everybody else, too. The company likes to shuffle supervisors pretty frequently, it seems, and so my wicked awesome boss has been replaced by the boss of my "sister department" and he has no idea what the hell is going on, but likes to insist that his way is the only way. Because it is. "Make it happen," he says, and then he spends the rest of the day in his office. He's an especially poor communicator, and has more than once brought a girl (who is sensitive, I'll admit, but still) to tears because he just doesn't think about what he says. So that's frustrating, and if I wasn't so close to getting a dollar raise, paid time off, and an eventual move, I'd be thinking about finding a new job. I've lasted seven shitty months working in a shitty gas station; I can ride this out.

I thought I'd try and participate in NaNoWriMo this month, but that's been going especially poorly, what with the play and the exhaustion and all. Which is unfortunate, because I really ought to work on my rewrite of my first book, but I'm just bogged down and need to fix it something fierce before I proceed. A conversation with a guy I went to college with a few weeks ago made me want to work on the play I'm writing based on the Epic of Gilgamesh... we'll see. I'm feeling a little creatively burned out right now.

Bride of the Monster ended very well - we had more people on the last performance than we did for the entire first week, which is what gave us an actual profit. I don't think I'll be buying the bra and panty set that I want from Bravissimo.com (see my last journal if you're curious which one that is), but it'll be nice to have the extra money in the savings. For those interested, I put some of the production photos online, and included the posters that I spent my entire Tuesday evening working on for cast gifts. I need to work more on my photography of humans skillz, but I'm happy with how the posters turned out!

Just remembered: I'm back playing WoW, but my friend that I used to play Alliance with doesn't play anymore. Because I want to play every race and ever class - just to get a feel for 'em all, you understand - I need a server for my Alliance toons. Horde is taken care of, and I'm really just looking to know somebody on a server before I go on - makes getting help for instances and stuff a wee bit easier, I think. So I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Oh, and hey - I finally got around to doing another nakie set!
