To elaborate (1.5 hours later) I have said variations of
"Hi, how are you?" "Good, you?" "So far so good"
"Will you open your bag?" "Can I check your bag real fast?" "Please have your bag open and put it on the table," "Will you take your bag off?"
"Phones, keys, wallets. Please take them out and hold them to your head or higher as you go through." "Everything in your pockets, hold it to your head or higher as you go through." "Just hold up anything you think might set it off."
"You only have a few minutes to curtain!"
"Your drink/food can't come in. It's gotta be taken back, thrown away, or eaten/drunk here."
They stopped sounding like words during the last 30 minute rush of the first shift. That only got worse for the second shift.
Words have stopped being words

When at the doors (Mags and Bags) we get to leave after intermission is done.
We plug the mag batteries in, move the tables to the walls, but the trash cans in between the doors (two sets of double doors), turn in the wands, and move the mags out of the way.
Normally, the whole process takes about 5-7 minutes, depending on which door you're at. The front doors have 4 mags. The back doors (where I normally am) have 2 mags.
Because Come From Away is only an hour and forty minutes long, there's no intermission. Meaning, we leave thirty minutes after the show starts.
For the matinee performance earlier today, the back doors (aka the busiest doors)(where I always am) had 7 people. 2 per table, 1 lead, one extra.
It took four of us thirty seconds to take down the entire set up because the others were so anxious to get home or to another venue for a different shift.
Four people took thirty seconds to
-move and plug in 2 15lbs batteries
-move all 3 trash cans to the center
-move 2 tables to the walls on either side of the doors
-move 2 mags against the office wall
-and turn in 2 hand wands
I think we deserve a pat on the back. The other three were kind of in awe of how fast we moved.
I would say we could probably make that record again tonight, but I'm working with a different team tonight, and we have to move the stuff to the front doors so that they're ready for pickup in the morning

My mom: I don't get it. You like romcoms. But you're aroace.
(Her confusion was extreme.)
Me: You like murder mysteries but you're not a serial killer or a mad detective, as far as I know. What's up with that?

I'mma rant for a second.
Someone please validate me.
I think I'm beyond justified when I say that no one listens to me.
This show (Come From Away) is running for three days. I've had the five shifts (4 on the weekend, 1 Friday) for three weeks. Counting my conversation with my parents a few minutes ago, I have explained what this show is, where I am, what it's about, and the history behind it 23 times.
6 times to my mom
4 times to my twin
2 times my older sister
3 times to my dad
8 times to my grandparents
What the actual duck does a girl have to do to get someone to listen to her?
All I'm asking is that people make an actual effort to remember what I tell them, especially when I talk about something I love.
My coworkers (4 of them) have asked what I know about it, and they all remember the basics of what I told them. They even listened to the soundtrack like I recommended!!
My sister won't even take ten minutes to listen to two songs with me. My mom doesn't even remember what the first song is called (I've told her 5 times now). I know for a fact that none of my family will listen to the music on their own.
I just want to share what I'm passionate about. I want others I know to share in the joy I find in this show and others.
And, y'know? I keep finding that this is a reoccurring problem. I can't bring it up to anyone, though, because they all tell me that I'm overthinking it or looking too much into it or seeing things that aren't actually there.
Humans are designed to pick out patterns in everything. We pick them out and we create them.
I see a pattern, I point it out, and I get told there's nothing there.
Either I'm gaslighting myself or everyone else is gaslighting me.
Someone please validate me. Please tell me I'm not crazy. Please put a name to these feelings because I'm going to shatter if someone tells me one more goddamn fucking time that I'm seeing a pattern where there isn't one.
I would cry like I want to, but that would ruin my make up. I have another shift in about 2.5 hours, and I don't have my makeup back with me, so that's a no go.
I'm gonna go read. Thanks for listening
#rant#vent#i'm upset#I'd cry but that would ruin my makeup#people are gaslighting me#or i'm gaslighting myself#or is it just me#come from away#in case anyone is curious#my top three (in order) for this musical are#screech#prayer#welcome to the rock#“me and the sky” is runner up for third#the cast and crew are amazing#i love them#i got to meet them all yesterday#i think i'm gonna tell supervisor B that i can't do the backstage position tonight#i love being backstage but my emotions are big right now#the earlier i can go home#the earlier i can have a good cry#or i'll defalt back to apathy for a bit#idk#i'll decide later

People can just...... exist? What??
Who was gonna tell me that people don't have to work all day, every day?!! That shit's hard!
There’s no such thing as work-life balance for neurodivergent & chronically ill people.
This is because everything in my life requires work:
maintaining friendships
keeping up with my hygiene
managing bills
making money
remembering my basic needs
sleeping regularly
outputting creatively
All requires some aspect of work for me.
And when everything in your life requires work, your balance goes out the window.
If you're neurodivergent and overwhelmed — I see you.
If you're chronically ill and overwhelmed — I see you.
You're not dysfunctional.
You're not incapable.
You're doing your best.

I managed to get my tabs down to three
I managed to keep my tabs down at three
I made the mistake of not reading as they were updating, so my tabs went up to ten
I asked my friend for some sad fic recs so I could have a good cry and now my tabs are up to fourteen
