Job~ma to your GF, GC!

I'm up. We're going out with TCG's father and step-mother tonight, so I should probably clean up the apartment in case they end up back here.

How much do I love waking up to all this help for Erin? THEEEEEEEES much!

Timelies all!

Lots of job~ma to the GC GF!

And timelies! I have lots of coffee and am in the office. I stayed home and mostly slept yesterday. It was good. Back to the grind now.

So it's pretty much my last day in this department, and my boss (who didn't want to let me go, but couldn't help it) just called to say goodbye, since he won't be in the office today, and now I'm all verklempt.

I've packed up everything that's going with me to my new cube, and I kinda just want to put it in my car and not ever come back here. Bah.

But we're having Bob's today, and that makes it happier.

Skimming, late for work...

I wish I had the list I compiled of all the advice I wrote down my first year in college theater. Basically it was a list of the rules for the mechanics of acting on stage that helped me concentrate on the acting once I got them down. Some of these seem basic and "obvious" but not so to a newbie.

For instance:

- don't go from prop to prop, hiding behind "things."

- Try to enter with the foot upstage from the audience when entering from the sides

- Practice projecting instead of yelling when you can. Stop by the theater on your time off. Talk to friends in the supermarket from the end of the isle. Soon you will be able to talk to someone in the back of the theater without getting hoarse.

- Learn foot placement

- Etc

I'm sure Buffistas can come up with more

Puppycat seems to have taken the notaspider squid toy and deleggified it. So what should we call the legless fur blob* now?

* the toy, we aren't punishing the cat for this or anything.

Have inhaled allergy meds, am still inhaling coffee, go team Let's Breathe and stay awake until at least early evening tonight! I am on the sleep schedule of a toddler, it's wacky.

and now I'm all verklempt.

I dreamt sort of about an old job last night and woke up missing it. Well, missing what it had been about six months before I left it at least.

So what should we call the legless fur blob* now?

Nugget.

Huh. It worked. I said, "Nugget" and she looked at it, looked happy, looked comfused and then just ran over to me. Which for Puppycat? It about as smart as she ever gets.

Nugget, it is.

I think I am going to throw the legs away. They look kinda creepy all unattached to the Nugget.

To be fair, "Nugget" comes from a friend of my SiL's -- she refers to babies of about 1-2 months as "nuggets," because they don't get all interactive and animated until about 3 months.
