I Think I Have Reached My Limit

Yes.  I think I have reached my limit.  It happened today at work.  The sales guy called at 5 o'clock and started making demands.  He is out of town with our company president this week so it has been pretty nice at work.  But he called and said he wants this and that done by Friday.  I did not tell him we would do it.  I told him I would give him an update tomorrow.  So he repeated himself and told me specifically what he wanted done by Friday.

I started getting angry when I thought about it.  But then I got in my car and drove away from work and went to my improv class.  As the class went on the stupid demands of my boss sort of drifted away.  Now I think it is silly and I'm not going to do what he asked.  I'll tell him tomorrow that he is dreaming and just let the chips fall where they may.  I'm pretty fed up with nonsensical demands.

I sure hope he does not say the wrong thing to me.  If he does I may have to say I quit and walk away.  That would be too bad.  I have been trying not to do that.  It sure would be a shame if he keeps pushing like he always does.

Whatever.

Anyway, the class tonight was great.  My regular instructor is out of town so another guy taught it.  He is pretty good.  I have seen him on stage and think he is very funny.  He teaches differently from the regular guy.  Not better, just different.  I got to be an Italian baker at the airport tonight.  It is one of the most fun things I have done so far.  I was very loud.

We played some different games tonight, too.  In one of the games one person would read a random line from a play and the other person would have to incorporate that line into the scene.  The tempo of the class was faster tonight.  I think we are getting better.  Don't get me wrong, as a whole we are still pretty bad.  But better than we were.

Ok.  That's it. It has been a long day and I am ready to hit the hay.
