I worked overtime today, and now I can barely see from thinking so hard all day. I don’t want to comment on my work ethic, but I rarely work overtime. Usually my job involves a lot of my sitting in front of a computer for hours at a time without speaking to anyone, but today I had to collaborate which is just way harder for me than sitting silently at a desk.
I think I’m a pretty classic introvert, so these last few days have been draining, to say the least. We’re casting for a big training video project, and I met more than 40 actors yesterday! I had to be friendly and personable, and I had to spend 4 hours standing up, reading lines with them. Normally I can only maintain “friendly and personable” for about an hour at a time before I turn into spaced-out sourpuss, somewhere between Chloe from 24 and Angela from The Office. Playing big time casting agent was fun, but now I just want to sit in front of a computer for a while. Actually, now I want to drink a beer and watch tv.
