i promised myself..

that i would never cry about work. Well at least i didn't cry AT work. but soon as i walked out the back door to start the long trek to my car i felt a tear roll down my cheek, and a few more came after that.. by the time i got into my car i was bawling like a little baby. A baby i say. As i sit at my computer, still all stuffed up from crying too much, I just have to laugh a bit. I read some posts on the summerstock callboard and realized that there ARE people out there that don't judge me and don't care how much money i make for their company. And i love those people and things really aren't as bad as they seem. Sometimes you just need a good cry and something upsetting to happen, so you can appreciate the good people in your life. So now my tears are gone, i promise. I love work and the people at work. I was just a little frustrated i guess and annoyed at myself for letting something so dumb get to me. I try to be tough i really do.

On a more cheerful note, Gala was fun times. Here are a few pics, but really it would take me too long to post them all (cause lord knows i take too many pictures).






















That was at Gala, sort of like our graduation from the program so everyone gets all dressed up (even the statues.. thanx to Quinn!). And then after we have after-gala.. sort of like after-grad when everyone gets drunk and dances around and sings to crazy music and many people spoon in a hide-a-bed and then go hay-bale jumping at 6am.. WAIT what?? That didn't happen at your after-grad? Well then maybe it's not quite like that, but fun none-the-less. Here's some pics to prove it:



















And then of course, there's CLEANUP, which turns Gala into a 2 day event. After after-gala we all get to go back to the school and put away the entire set including HUGE piles of wood scraps that get to be moved not ONCE but TWICE from one place to another. Now cleanup itself.. not so much fun.. but going to Rielle's after cleanup to watch Babe and make the biggest pot of KD in the planet.. MUCHO EXCELLENTE. Again.. pictures to prove it:










Put these together with 2 superb chefs and you get:
