When the Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Silly

...

We have been under a lot of pressure at work, trying to complete the scenery for our upcoming production of Heartbreak House. Today was our last day in the shop, before everything gets loaded into the truck and transported over to the theater.

I knew that tempers could be running high, so in an attempt to keep the mood light, I bought all of my staff furry animal ears.




This is Andrew. You just have to love a man who will wear fuzzy bunny ears all day at work.

I did not get a good photo of Cristina, which is too bad. Yesterday, her car was rear-ended, and today her insurance adjuster came out to our shop to assess the damage. She had the entire meeting with him without realizing that she was wearing sequin-encrusted white tiger ears. The insurance guy didn't bat an eyelid. It was only when Cristina was coming back into the shop and happened to see her shadow that she realized what had just happened. Did the insurance guy burst out laughing, once he was out of "ear shot?"



I had to seal our floor with some really nasty chemicals, and I opted to work after-hours so I wouldn't expose my co-workers. Just as I was finishing up, our late-night cleaning crew arrived, and I can only imagine what they thought of the sweaty lady with the respirator mask and the fuzzy tiger ears!
