Fortunately the day got better, well only just............
Today was my first day back at the theatre after a very long summer
break. This was mainly due to the fact that major renovations had
taken place, so it was unworkable. Now we all have brand new cubicles
with gleaming white walls.
I was pleased to receive a happy reception from my co-workers when
I entered, only to be faced with a bright eyed, very young looking man,
about 17 I thought. Precious introduced him to me as the new Managing
Director, to which I laughed (in his face) saying that he couldn't possibly
be because he looked like a baby and that she was joking with me........NO
SHE WASN'T!! Aaaargh, I'd literally been in there 2 fucking
minutes and I'd already upset our new M.D., who by the way DOES look very
young. Anyway he took it well and got me back later on with a little
bit of irony himself which I was impressed with, I think we're going to
get along smoothly.
My cubicle was being used by our literary assistant who seemed really happy to see me as she was doing some work that I need for my newsletter, however after receiving a few questions from me regarding the whereabouts of certain head shots and bios etc. she completely lost it and now the poor thing is writing and typing like a mad woman to get this stuff to me.....love her!! It was great to see everyone, Ty is enormous now and looks like she's ready to pop but I think it needs a bit more cooking yet....
So my first visit back to the theatre was a good one, I have a few reservations about the beginning of our new season and how that's going to go, but all in all it was good to see everyone. Precious is leaving sometime in October, which I think will be the hardest for me as we've grown especially close since she's been there but unfortunately she's taking quite a bit of shit from the place at present. If I was them I wouldn't push it, she's likely to walk if provoked.....
So the summer looks like it's never going to return, I left with Ty (she's off to San Francisco for Victoria and Carlos's wedding) and we walked to the PATH train in the pouring rain, literally just like home, unfucking believable.
Kiwi Boy came round for some dinner tonight, he never really spoke about anything in particular, I think he just wanted to be fed and have some company to go along with the meal....that's ok, not a problem.
I think I may have overbooked people for this coming weekend at the summer house which could be a problem for me. Not quite sure what to do, will play it by ear.......
So tonight was the Democratic Convention in California. My god
that Bill Clinton really does make an entrance, it was like he was a pop
star, the crowd were going absolutely nuts, including Barbara Streisand
who resembled an hysterical teenager...it was crazy man!! He does
speak well thought, you've got to give him that. I wonder after
the Lewinsky scandal if anyone actually asked her if he had a big dick??
If she was my friend I would, in fact she lives around the corner from
me, maybe I if I see her in D'Agastino's...........
