Now THAT will be stuck in your head all morning! You're welcome.
So, last night I just felt like my world was coming to a crashing halt. And yes, I am being over-dramatic because that's how I felt last night -- over-dramatic. I was so frustrated because I was trying to figure out a technology-related problem and I just wasn't getting anywhere. So I felt like I'd wasted my entire evening working on this project. Then I went to work and didn't feel like doing anything productive. Then I started thinking about all of these things I needed to do by the end of the week, and I got so stressed out that I started to cry. Well, that was unnecessary, so I turned on some lady danville tunes and watched a couple funny videos and started to feel better about life.
And then it became breaking news city in that newsroom.
A car crashed out on one of the state roads, very unfortunately killing the driver, who was only 21. And it was like, my whole pity party was put into perspective and I just thought, "Sheez, Lisa, get a grip. What are you feeling sorry for yourself for?" And then I sort of got a jump-start to my work and started cranking out a script, making calls to update information, and cutting video. Then police released info about a shooting incident that happened last night (no one was seriously hurt, thankfully) and it was off to the races.
We had a fantastic show this morning, and I don't mean that to sound insensitive to the fact that someone died this morning. I hate when stuff like that happens. But when it does, it becomes my job to find out as much about it as I can as fast as I can, and this morning I think I did that. So I felt good about doing my job well.
And then the engineer pointed out the review in the paper of the play I'm currently in. If you remember from previous posts, these reviews make me really nervous, especially for this show, since there wasn't a large cast or leading actresses to take the focus of the article. I was the leading actress in this case. And according to the review, I did fine! Phew! So that made me feel great!
And then I came home and solved my little technology problem, and I think I can just go to bed as content as can be today!
Here's hoping I feel this good when I wake up tonight ;)

I do this more than I care to say. I'm wallowing because of something small and then I'm slapped in the face with some perspective. I'm sorry you had such a rough night, though. It's okay if you want to wallow a little!
