Happy Wicked Day/Halloween!
I put both in the title, just in case the time changes over to the 31st before I get a chance to post. Today (the 30th) is Wicked Day, the anniversary of the day that Wicked opened on Broadway in 2003. I wore my peridot earrings for the occasion. I couldn't exactly dress up any more because I worked and had to wear my uniform. Anyway, the same goes for tomorrow (in one minute) morning; I work, so I can't dress up. I will, however, be wearing the new black-and-white-striped socks that Joanna bought for me today as a partial Nessarose costume. I'll see if I have some red earrings or something. . .
By the way, Joanna and I have graduated! Woohoo! It's only been, what? A few months since I've posted. . . Funnily enough, the lady I was just complaining about in my last post turned out to be a really nifty friend that I worked with in our final project. True, she wasn't there for the performance (she slept in or something) but she did help write it and stage it and everything. We were at the theatre the night before until at least one or two in the morning. I was back there at probably 8, so I don't really see what the problem was. But I'm not bitter. :-) Her friend was there to see the show and so Beth and I begged her to stand in for Lynne, reading the script onstage. It went okay. Bob, the professor, said he was proud of me for going on with it even though Lynne wasn't there, not being a theatre major and all.
So, anyway, we're still working, Joanna and I, at the museum and Busch Gardens, respectively. Joanna is losing her job in December and doesn't have another one lined up, so I'm a bit concerned there. But she's a smart little cookie and I'm sure she's thinking of something. I've been passed over for a few promotions, all different (Part-time supervisor, Regular kitchen attendant, and Assistant auditor), so I'm a bit fed up with the whole system. They promote people who don't deserve it and some who don't even want it, they just want the paycheck! I would call it quits on applying, but Janet (my manager) says that they'll be opening up some new regular positions at the beginning of the new year, so maybe I'll apply.
And now, Happy Halloween! I won't be trick-or-treating, but I will be home in time to give out candy. I hope we get some kids!
