1.10.02 – tonight, tonight

yay! opening tonight. i wish i could say that i’m excited about the play opening, but really i’m just hoping that getting into the run of the show will get my manager off my back for a bit. i have 71 days left on my contract in buffalo. i’m thinking of making a paper chain. i’m at the point that whenever she walks into the same room as me i can feel the negative energy radiating out toward me. the really frusterating thing is that most people in the company think that she’s just fabu, and that’s b/c she only berates and humiliates her ASM and crew, as near as i can tell. if i had a thick skin, i’d just shrug this off, but the bottom line is, i’m an empath and i don’t know how to block out bad energy when it’s coming my way. i think theatre protocol dictates that i have to get her an opening night gift. i wonder if a bouquet of dead flowers would be over the top? yeah, probably.
