the hunter, not the hunted

dear livejournal

why does today have to be the first day of the worst 14 of my year? why can't we be permitted to rehearse for at least one more week and start next monday instead? bump in/tech/dress rehearsal on saturday was a shambles, but not like most technical rehearsals. no, by far this is the scariest opening day i've ever had the (dis)pleasure of being involved in. let's cross our fingers and hope that the luck fairy is on our side and todays show isn't a complete balls up like it's been shaping up to be. i really do hope the luck fairy is unusually generous today.

for those who are unaware: i'm working (ha!) at StageDoor doing yet another kids show. THE EMPERORS NEW CLOTHES, opens today at 11am and will start at that time EVERY DAY for the next FOURTEEN DAYS STRAIGHT! i'd recommend sleeping in until midday or going to work or whatever. but, if you're so inclined: tix are $15 which includes light snackage. Call StageDoor for more info, i've managed to get rid of all the flyers i had.

i shall continue caffienating, and then leave the house and hope that my lines stay in my head long enough to get me thorugh the first gruelling two hours of the fortnight.

after this show. i am taking a well deserved break. so: from JULY 10 til AUGUST 26 i shall be available for early nights and long lie ins. unless something intervenes.
and from JULY 5 til JULY 18, i shall be without child or significant other.

LET'S HANG!

til next....
~Kits~ (oh, it's a MUSICAL)

got back last night from the wet victorian low-lands to the stinkingly humid queensland hot-lands.
i decided that it was about time i got drunk on a plane, so i bought 2 bottles of wine. they serve the cutest little bottles of wine on planes. i wanted to take it home, but i thought "hmm, already got a big pile of crap at home, probably shouldn't add to it", so i sent it to the garbage box. didn't get drunk, but i was pleasantly pleasant.

patrick had his job search network 'appointment' (read: fill in this piece of paper and we'll call you in three months) and his phone call from cunterlink. i presume we'll eventually see some money in the next century at the speed this is going. his next cunterlink appointment is at 8am on the 23rd! That's TWO WEEKS away. in the meantime, we're living off bread crumbs and the pittance of an income i receive at the moment until things are sorted out. fucking fabulous! welcome to poorsville! here's hoping that the giving of my resume to kat_in_a_hat will be of some help in the finding of some employment, which would help to ease the pain of having no money and a family to support! stupid government and their lack of any sense or ability to care.

so, while i swelter in that 'wonderful' queensland way, i must digest government questionairre garbage in order to get some extra money. bloody beaurocrats! and i really don't care if i've not spelt it right. in fact i don't care about any kind of correct english at all right now. i just want to think!

gah!!!!

ok, i think i'm alright now. just hot and sweaty and pissed off at the slow pace in which things are going. i hate society. if the government doesn't want people on welfare due to unemployment, then they should penalise employers for sacking people/not renewing contracts/not employing a person due to a funny thing on their face, etc. it's fucked that people can be left with no way of surviving while the bumbling beaurocrats sit on their high leather chairs sipping exensive imported tea out of a gold leaf tea cup, ordering 1000% pay increases and one million dollar bonuses for themselves.

please stop me now before i hurt someone.

til next....
