Today is going to be a long day. I need to be at the theater by 9:00 a.m. The stage manager and I (and maybe the director, too) will go through all the props, the band will set levels, the cast will work some scenes, and then I think they're going to run the show. The rehearsal is supposed to go until 3:00 p.m., but I'll need to leave by about 11:45 a.m. I need to go to work to be the supervisor for people who want to work extra hours because we won't otherwise get a paycheck on December 31.
