Last night was one of those nights where I am honestly glad I live and sleep alone. It was so cold (honestly, the temperature was in the low 30s) and I just wrapped all the blankets and pillows around me like a little fort. I didn't have to share them with anyone. I was a snug little bug in a rug.
Long day yesterday. Worked from home and really didn't accomplish much for the client. I had too many questions and he didn't give me enough direction before disappearing for 4 days. He is completely unavailable so I couldn't even send an email and expect a response. I sat through a 2 hour webinar which was boring and interesting at the same time. I could have had the meat of the presentation in 30 minutes versus 2 hours, but it was work time.
During all this, I was getting texts and emails from my director. It has been raining like hell here the last few days. The mountains nearby have had 7 feet of powder in three days and we have ended up with 11 inches of rain in the same time period. That was after 13 days of nothing. Because of all the rain, the theater where we were scheduled tonight is shut down because of flooding. They moved us to their other theater which meant we had to move all the props at 10pm last night. At first it looked like we might be cancelled then it was a change of venue then cancelled then new venue. It was stressing.
At the same time I was scheduled to have dinner with a friend I haven't seen in 10 years who recently moved back to the area. We both admitted during dinner we had some trepidation about the meeting because 10 years is a long time. The good news is we are glad we met up because it seems we have suffered through some similar things over the last few years and found someone we could relate to in that regard. We went and had Japanese which was really good. We both were watching the clock though which made it rough. He had to go back to the office and I had to hit the theater. He moved back to this area to join a new startup. He is employee number 8. I am meeting up with him again on Tuesday to check out the company and have lunch. I haven't been at a real startup in a while. Might be kind of nice if they are interested in having me. Heck, it might even be a nice part time consulting gig.
After we parted ways I went to the theater. Took us about an hour to load all the props in the van, then we got to the replacement theater. Holy shit. No stage, half the floor space, no easy in/out. This is going to be an interesting show to say the least. ON TOP OF THAT, this is our 'tacky horror' show. All the performers are cross-dressed tonight, including tech and security. So all the girl parts are played by guys and vice versa and all of the rest of us will be dressed up. I have a makeup appointment tonight just for this occasion. I actually want to look good for this and didn't feel like trying to do things by myself. Unlike most of the guys on cast, I don't have someone at home who can help me do my makeup.
Bottom line -- we have to do a show in a new theater, with no room, while cross-dressed. This should be a real fun night one way or another...
