Idiots...

So, my scene in the One Act plays we did in the Spring semester went very well. Keith, our drama club director, was asked if he would pick two or three scenes to do for the visiting library group on August 6th. Well, that's all lovely and such, but it means I have to work with Kim again.

Back in spring, Kim was directing the scene. She said that we were going to have rehearsal on Thursday night. I told her that I couldn't be there because I had class. She promptly said "I don't care, you have to skip it." Okay, now I understand that college is different from high school, and you can miss a few classes and not have anything to worry about. But this class was an accelerated one. That means that the classes are four hours long, and they go for seven weeks instead of fifteen. So, that's seven classes, minus one for the final, minus another for the midterm. Are you getting what I am saying? That is FIVE CLASSES to learn how the ENTIRE Community Corrections programs work. And if I missed even one of those? I've missed twenty percent of the class. *sigh* But no. According to Kim, drama club is the most important thing that I can do, and I had to miss the class. It was only by the grace of God that our guest speaker didn't show that day and class was dismissed early. Lucky for Kim, actually, because I had no intention of skipping the class.

I also had to work the day of tech rehearsal. I checked with literally EVERY person in my department and NONE of them could take the hours for me. But Kim wouldn't have it. She said that I absolutely had to have the day off. I told her that it was literally impossible. She still didn't care. I didn't get the day off. Tough lemons, eh, Kim?

ANYWAY.

Now that I've established Kim's background, this brings me to my main rant.

We've got this library thing going on, which means we need to rehearse the scene a few more times before we're ready to do it for the library group. Keith sent me an e-mail in about Mid-June. Now, I don't check my student e-mail during the summer. After about a week, Keith realised that he hadn't heard from me, so he called me. Smart man. So I said sure, I'd love to do the scene again.

Keith said I would be rehearsing with Kim, and that she would be in charge of the rehearsal schedule (Oh, yeah. 'cause that worked SO well last time). He also said that she would call me to set up a time.

Kim e-mailed me at the beginning of July. Remember, I don't check my student e-mail. After a week, she e-mailed me again. Another week, another e-mail. Now, she has my phone number IN HER PHONE, and also in the drama club directory. Did she use it? Oh no. That would have been too logical. She sends me a third e-mail. Then a fourth!

The fourth one says "Rehearsal is July 25th at 1:00. I haven't heard from you, so I assume you'll be there."

'I haven't heard from you, so I assume you'll be there'??? SERIOUSLY??

So, today, I'm thinking "Dude. Kim hasn't called me about rehearsal yet. ... dude, did she e-mail me?"

So I check my e-mail at 7:30.

Only to find out that rehearsal was at 1:00.

I mean REALLY? I picked up my phone, and were there any missed calls? No, of course not!! Why would she try to call me? She hadn't heard from me, so obviously I would be there!!

So next rehearsal is on Thursday. I'll be there for that one, but if she's a bitch to me again like she was during the spring show, then I'm not doing the scene.

I've got half a mind to back out right now.

And I don't think I'm gonna do the play in Fall. Kim causes more problems than she's worth.
