Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
What brenda said. And we're supposed to have snow later this week!
A big chunk of downtown Evanston (including the CTA train station) was shut down yesterday until this morning. Some plywood and other stuff blew off a a big building that's under construction and injured a construction worker. They were afraid of more debris hitting people (and it was too windy to use the crains to get rid of the stuff), so they shut down five or ten blocks....
From quite a ways back:
Drew--so you're working on the Tracy Letts play? He used to be the BF's client, back when the BF was an agent, and is now a good friend of ours. I believe we're going to the show with him when he gets out here. I'll be able to hear your work!
Oh cool! Enjoy the show. Don't judge my work too much on the basis of this show though, William has a very heavy hand in controlling how the design elements are used, so not a lot of my voice gets to show through.
ND, "French Connection" Friedkin? Cause, wow.
Yep, that's the one.
Offer him an omelette. (Tracy Letts, I mean.)
Unfortunately I don't think I'll meet Tracy. I pretty much teched this show in and then turned it over to an assistant so that I could get back to my show from hell, Pilgrim. So far we've had a Stage Manager walk off the show in the middle of Tech Week, and my A2 never showed up yesterday.
So, all the smoke detectors in my house are going off. I've checked each one and there is no fire and I have no idea what set them off. Any suggestions on how to get them to stop, hivemind?
Low batteries, maybe? (If you changed them all at the same time, they'd all be running out together.)
Stephanie -- try putting a fresh battery in one? A lot of people change batteries on the Equinoxes, so it may be a case of them all expiring at nearly once....
I Love My Dead Smokedetector Battery Crosspost!
Any suggestions on how to get them to stop, hivemind?
Circuit breaker?
One thing you might want to check is to see if a spider has spun a web inside one of the detectors (especially if there's one down in the basement). Happened to me once, and I was flummoxed until I opened up the basement detector and found the web.
Arrrrgh. Had meeting this afternoon. Our big corporate client is being petty and pissy, but what do I care, you know? Quitting soon!
Only I find out at this meeting that I earn my company approx. $325,000 a year. All by myself. Pretty much just me, my computers, and a FedEx kiosk.
Am I right in thinking they haven't been paying me enough?
