longest weekend ever

This was a killer weekend for the theater. Good for business...bad for poor, exhausted workers. As you might expect, many people requested one or more days off this weekend, so those of us who did work were pretty much there all three days. Hapless Zach got forced into the Spidey suit every afternoon and evening for a couple hours at least (Sunday afternoon we were shortstaffed, so Spider-man helped out by tearing tickets--'twas a rather amusing sight), and the rest of us just laughed and laughed. Fortunately, we were well prepared at concessions (except for the poor guy whose first day behind the stand was Sunday afternoon--we expected to break last year's record of 1200 tickets sold this evening), and kept up with the crowds tolerably well. I've got the next two days off; my only plans are to wash my car and sleep a lot. Brilliant!

Saturday, I woke to the sound of the doorbell and an unexpected visit from my friend Cat, whom I thought would be spending the entire summer in DC. It was great seeing her, and having somebody to talk about girl stuff with again. Possibly the thing I miss most of all about school is having girlfriends to talk to. I've got Aaron and Jackie at work to talk about/drool over guys...but everything else (your basic "Dammit, if boys are so annoying and dumb in public, why do I want one of my own?" conversation, for example) is out, just 'cause I don't know them well enough.  *pout* Looks like I'm adding "Hang out with Cat" to the to-do list for the next couple days.
