Yea yea, I'm so unoriginal! But it rhymed and I liked it! Also as you can see I skipped day 68, sorry if you're disappointed, but really there was nothing to report. Day 69 however, was pretty a pretty full day!
The day began bright early, well earlier than normal anyways. I had to be at the office 9:30 instead of 10:00. Which grant it, it was only a half an hour but still, I was not a happy camper. The meeting was for a box office tutorial. Most of the lesson I took notes on what could be fixed and what we needed to address with Martech to make our system more efficient. Most of the stuff Mr. R.L. went over from my other tutorials I was pretty familiar with. Ms. Susan is completely new to the system, Ms. Kris is fairly new and Ms. Denise is almost a pro. We also went over developing a universal language when talking to patrons or referring to the the Folio system. Ms. Denise is putting together some verbiage on that to be sent out to everyone. In the next week, I will be in charge of contacting Martech with our questions.
Our Lesson ended at about 11:30 so I headed to the post office and to grab some lunch. Normal P.O. as always, I'm sure you are sick of me saying the same thing about the post office everyday, but really it is not very exciting! I stopped in at the deli Ms. Denise had recommended called Shelley's. I was pleasantly surprised and very much enjoyed my sammy and cookie it came with :) A quick bite and back to work.
I logged a donation, and went through the seating charts to make some changes. I had failed to block off the front side seats that are not for sale. So I went through all the shows of the season and blocked all of them off! Now, everything is set and ready with the exception of the three special events I'm awaiting ticket prices on.
I did a few more office-y things and then hit the stage for some monologue work. Beth sent me a copy of the voice warm-up so I started with that! I am so glad I have a copy of it. It is very helpful. Once I got through the whole warm-up I began work. I continued the pattern I did the other day, working on one piece at a time for 15 or so minutes and then putting them all together. I was able to get in about an hour and 40 minutes of work. I'm still struggling with voice factors, but I think they are coming along very well.
I spent the rest of the day preparing for MEMPHIS AT THE MOVIES!!!!!! I was reading the blog and watching videos from the show. I even watched the trailer. Yes, obviously I'm more than a little obsessed! And my obsession continues. I was even more in love with the show after seeing it in theatres. Of course, it was very different on screen than seeing it live on stage, but I loved every minute of it! I highly recommend anybody and everyone to go see this if you have the opportunity on stage or in the theatre. I was very surprised they had a intermission though, I actually thought it was very funny, but was happy about because I had about six glasses of water at dinner and was dying! Ms. Denise, Mr. R.L. and Mr. John also seemed to enjoy it. It was so interesting talking with them at intermission. They notice things I would have never noticed. I pay attention to the actors but they pick up on just about every aspect of the show, the costumes, the set, the number of cast, the wigs, the make-up, everything! So for the remainder of the show I tried to tune in to the other aspects to. However, I am still so impressed with Chad Kimball and Montego Glover I found it hard. All in all I love love love Memphis and had an awesome night! For those of you interested in the show check out their website and blog MEMPHIS!!!! enjoy! Until tomorrow...
