Hobbies Overcome

I've had a frustrating last few weeks at work. But whenever I find need to vent, I'm promptly reminded I get to "play with hats all day." Thank you for demeaning my stress levels. So I won't complain, vent or otherwise discuss the frustrating aspects of my job, because I do, in fact have it much better than most people. And as such I am not allowed the benefit of a sympathetic ear.

So I take my frustrations to the kitchen. Carpe Cibus has seen a sudden flurry of activity. Do please take a look.

And I'd love to hear what you are cooking...

Stress? My friend (if I may be so bold), I am a playwright. There's a reason why most of them drink heavily and die young. On the other hand - and to the point - I also direct plays. Yelling at actors on a regular basis is a great relief for stress. You just need to find a new outlet for creative energy. Have your considered, say, knife throwing or bull riding?

Sadly, if I were to yell at an actor, as a mere costume shop employee, it would likely get me fired. Or severely reprimanded. SO cooking, belly dancing and playing with molten glass distract from the stress. However, my job isn't all wine and roses, as many assume. What job in the theater ever is? It's just nice to have someone lend an ear once and a again. Thank you...

Amen sistah. I get that a lot too.."oh, you work for COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG?! *gasp*" Yeah. It's nice. But I still have to deal with bosses and office politics.

My stress relief is a Brown Bess 1767 shortland pattern. pew pew pew.
