It's been a very frustrating day today. Tempers were short, I was testy, I'm feeling very insecure at the moment, and I expect tomorrow will be better. I think we're all feeling the tightness of the schedule, the pressure on the cast in dealing with too little time to learn too much music many lyrics and chord symbols, and blocking. Everyone's got an "if we only had more time ro deal with . . ." or "will they ever learn that . . ." or "some staging here might help them freeze that . . ." or "if the audience is going to sing along, why did you ask me to write something pretty and choral . . ."
So, it was a very tense afternoon, and the ordeal of getting home because of the absofuckinlutely lousy New York traffic only added to the frustration. I hate getting into a taxi cab where the damned meter is already charging an extra $1.50 for God alone knows what. And because our pricipal cast member is in a show and has to be out at 1PM, tomorrow's rehearsal begins at 9AM. Goddam!
Oh, yes, I am in a reallly lousy mood. Color me highly pissed.
