Got up early again yesterday, took a cab to work again, was late anyway. I'm tired of spending money in order to be late. At least this time they weren't tearing up the narrowed part of the street as well.

How can you tell that there is a gigantic hit in the theatre? A hit that cannot be extended because another show is coming in on its heels and there is a British cast that it would be a bit of an ordeal to extend the visas of and get permission from Equity, so it's pretty much going to end when we say it's going to end?

There is now a ticket stalker. The foreign guy who refused to acknowledge my beauty the day before yesterday is actually stalking for tickets. He insists that the head of marketing has put house seats aside for him, he sends people over saying that she said they could get on the waiting list early, he buys coffee for the box office staff, I expect him to come in with a gun next week!

Seriously, it's a play. It might be good, it might be great, it might be the greatest collection of actors and script and direction ever in the history of the world, but it's not going to heal the sick or raise the dead, calm the hell down.

The show went well again. Le came to see it because it was going to be the coolest day of the week and it's so hot in the theatre. Sheera's going a tiny bit crazy with the paraphrasing, but I pulled the reins on that one and hopefully she'll start saying some of the lines as written again.

I had a Little Helper in the box office who was there to learn how to run the box for the French, but she was entirely useless. Can someone please explain to me how it is that people cannot realize that if the blue tickets are for regular people and cost $15, and if the red tickets are for company members and cost $12, if a COMPANY member buys a TICKET for their FRIEND and pays $12, you give them a RED TICKET!!

I don't get how people don't understand the way you reconcile a handful of tickets and a handful of money.

In re the note from yesterday? Alan wrote it, which means that the section about my giving actors room to create makes perfect sense, because he has to be a helicopter on stage (among other things) and I just said to him "Go home and find your inner helicopter!"

Today's horoscope:
Throw your old method out the window. Work backwards, or use reverse psychology, or let go of your expectations. It's amazing what a fresh approach -- or just not caring quite so much -- can do.
