All in all, it was a good day.

It wouldn't have been if I had known they were going to do staff evaluations today. I'd have been terrified. As it was, I learned about it about 1 hour before being given the evaluation by the General Manager, which really wasn't time to panic - though I was about to throw myself at her feet and beg for mercy.

As it was, she gave me a mostly-favourable evaluation, saying that she thought I had the most difficult position in the theatre because everyone in all the committees and on the board - and everyone else - comes to ask me to do any work that isn't specifically box office or managerial. And I try to do it all, with good grace, and then I get swamped, and don't even get the opportunity to prioritize.

Huh.

So she's going to try to shield me from some of the ancillary tasks and get me lessons for the software I'm using (like Excel and Dreamweaver) and I am left feeling reasonably pleased not to be on anyone's shitlist.

Before going to work today I watched the first half of the Doctor Who episode Father's Day. I had to leave about the time they were being attacked by the fell demons at the church door; my goodness, it was difficult to stop there. So I watched the rest when I got home. Got into it. Cried. Enjoyed it mightily.

Then. on [livejournal.com profile] maaboroshi's urging, I went up to [livejournal.com profile] maaseru's place and we watched the next two episodes, The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances on her very nice, large TV. That was a treat. I didn't want to force it on them, but I think they were both curious about my new fandom-lust. Much of the story was too scary for [livejournal.com profile] maaseru but she distracted herself nicely and a good time was had by all - I hope. Well, at least Ih ad a great time, revelling in the Jack-isms (like: "I try never to discuss business with a clear head") and some of my favourite Doctor dialogue (like: "Funny little human brains, how do you get around in those things?")... The whole conversation about being defrocked. But really, I think my favourite, among a dozen favourites, is the "weapon factories of Villangard" and the bananas conversation.

Or:
Doctor: Who am I to argue with history?
Rose: Usually first in line.
