Omnis is this the same needy designer you've been dealing with for the past few weeks?
Spike ,'Sleeper'
Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Bah. just got back from the funeral of a 25 year old beloved son, brother, nephew, friend. It sucked. There was so much grief and pain. It was hard and horrible and I hope I never have to go through something like that again. I hope no one here does.
ND and I aren't actors. We are far worse than that. We are Sound!
Yes, I am very familiar with ND's amazing sound prowess. Actually, I am in awe of his talent.
I lament my lack of sound ability. I got sucked into lighting quite a bit. These days day's I am 'just' a lowly Drama teacher. (which seems to translate into "chief cook and bottle washer")
Sorry you are dealing with "problem people," Omnis!
(((Nora))) I'm so sorry. Funerals for the young are just so awful.
Oh Nora, I am so, so sorry. That is a terrible thing for anyone to have to go through. All of the punctuation for you.
I hope I never have to go through something like that again. I hope no one here does.
Me, too. {{Nora}}

Omnis is this the same needy designer you've been dealing with for the past few weeks?Actually, its not the Sound Designer. Their are projection "slides" in the show giving titles to each scene. Set Designer didn't spec a system in. TD uses our generic simple system. Now Set Designer is all wanting of Keynote abilities. And since I'm the one triggering, I get the "we want" crap. I've done the bad thing of saying, "All I do is trigger the cues given to me. That's a scenic element". Plus the SM is being an ASS. If I hadn't spoke up, she was about to do the following: call tech in at noon. call actors in at 12:30. Do tech notes starting at noon. Actor notes backstage at 12:30. At 1:15, the actors came back from a 10 min break to start teching things again... which means the next break wouldn't be for another 90 minutes. Soooo? Our board ops don't get a break for 3 hours? Actually more since we were doing notes before hand??? I DON"T THINK SO! So this is the shit I'm putting up with. I haven't exploded... yet.
I'm so sorry, Nora. Loss is always painful, but it is particularly tough when it is someone so young.
Sounds like time to do some killin'.
