September....
Wow... summer's over. The Doggies are all back in their cages. And I'm now working as a Flyman on a Chinese Opera out in Richmond ( near the vancouver Airport ) every day I drive to work I'm wanting to take the overpass that takes me to the departure gate. Not, that I don't like Chinese Opera, ( The community group that puts the show on are very nice and generous - they gave all the theatre crew 20 dollars in red envelopes - luck money on top of giving all the performers and chinese crew the same. Plus feeding us the best potstickers that I've ever had in my life.
It's just that I've had no days off for about 20 days. And I now have a week of Chinese Opera to make it through. We hung all the drops and sent the theatre's drape and traveler trim and then they let me go ( which meant I could get Rent and some laundry done...) But, that means I'm going to get maybe a 1/2 day of rehersal for a show that I understand changes every evening till sunday. I dread fucking up. And I'm too tired to chanel all the great vibes I got from the great spot gig on Spamalot in july to get myself to sleep well.
And the Stage manager is Chinese ( and he doesn't speak the best english ) which I fear could cause confusion about what I'm pulling in or out on the fly rail. So, I've asked him to refer to everything by line set numbers. Because I have no Idea what scene is what as it's all in mandarin.
I guess I could be glad that my jobs not boring... straight from dogs to chinese opera....

I need a job that isn't boring. And doesn't suck. And is a lot of things my current job isn't.
