Long Days and Longer Nights

As the title suggests, we are getting closer to the show and therefore have to withstand longer hours to be ready in time for the show. Things seem to be finally coming together, however, we continue to have hiccups just about every time things seem to be going properly. At the moment we have an hour delay until we can get some equipment working again. It appears as this week will be a very long one with regards to work hours.

On the plus side, I did manage to get a couple of hours off work yesterday and spent it at String Lake with Clint and Rachel where I got some phenomenal photos. I also had the opportunity to bake some more in order to cut my stress levels at the end of the day.

The water was crystal clear...

...and ICE COLD!

The Grand Teton

I find that lately my temper is short and I tire quickly. I am trying to keep up my energy and drink lots of water, but I think that there is a mutual dread of the show starting and ending. I don't want the show to end because I have met so many wonderful people who I will probably not see again unless the show runs again next year. I am dreading the opening as I don't feel as prepared as I would like to be. 

Does it make sense that sometimes I wish I weren't competent in what I do? Sometimes I would like to be able to just sit and let some things slide. I am just not programmed that way. 

I feel detached-- similar to how I felt my first week here. I wish it would change but at the same time maybe it will help me learn to separate myself from the others in order to smooth the transition between my work here and starting school again. 

I didn't really mean for this post to be such a downer, but I guess it just reiterates the emotions that have existed over the last few days. 

Until next time...
