I then managed to drop all eight of the mic stands on my foot, and I ended up tangling the XLR cable after attempting to pick the mic stands back up.

when I finally dealt with the mics, the old lady solo singers started getting mad at me because they couldn't hear themselves sing. I then told them that I didn't set up the stage monitors and they didn't listen and they just told me to turn the speakers up. I told them that increasing the gain would start giving us feedback and out of spite I cranked the gain anyways. after they got annoyed with the feedback, they told me to turn it down again and then bitched again because it was too quiet. From the audiences perspective, it was the perfect volume but they didn't seem to get that.

then they started bitching at the lighting guy and we all agreed that the director was a bitch and didn't understand the limitations of our system. I have to deal with these stupid hags again tomorrow on sunday. they better be less bitchy or I'm gonna flip.
