Last year, about this time, I was making plans to leave the job that I was in. I was being micro-managed by a boss who was on a leave of absence. And still I was bored, finding plenty of time for blogging and web-searching.
This summer I have been extrememly busy, working very long days and evenings, haven't had a chance to write in this blog, nor even check out others' ... but couldn't be happier. Over-all, I love what I do.
Theatre IS where I am happiest, and when I can have a solid position in a good theatre company, I'm thrilled. As Production Manager for the Great River Shakespeare Festival (www.grsf.org), I get to sit in on rehearsals, give notes to the directors, over-see all the shops (props, sets, costumes, lights, sound), keep an eye on budgets, hang out with the actors, and today I played a quick game of chess with one of the directors.
I'm busier than I ever was at my last job, but I'm a heck of a lot happier as well. Some people like mindless jobs, and the opportunity to collect a paycheck for doing nothing. I'm not that kind of person.
Come see a show at GRSF this summer!
