Cranky

We had our first rehearsal on stage last night, and it went fairly well. Of course, we didn't get through the whole opera, so I think we'll have to work on the last act twice tonight or something. I'm still working during the day and I'm just not getting enough sleep so I'm really cranky.

There's this woman in the chorus that's really pissing me off. In almost all the crowd scenes she stands behind me, which is fine, since she's taller than me, but a lot of the time we have to start backing up away from Mephistopheles. And I'm constantly stepping on her. I'm like, don't you get it? Don't stand too close to me. But I didn't say that. The last time I stepped on her, I nearly lost my balance and fell on my ass, so I grabbed on to her hand to steady myself and she wrenched her hand out of mine. What the hell was that about? Not only that, but she likes to give direction on stage, like, "you should run over there faster," and stuff. I'm so tired of her. I'm also tired of our stupid choir director who loves to yell at us at inappropriate times. We're trying to deal with the stage (which is raked and somewhat unsafe, actually), and she's like, "Do you think you can do it with dynamics?" I'm like, can you kiss my ass? I'm just way too cranky for this kind of bullshit right now.
