Woah, Dana!
I need some email drafting advice. I put together a document on how Stage Management intersects with the costume shop and all the duties of a Wardrobe person Backstage. I sent it to the Production Manager, the TD, the Stage Manager and some wardrobe people for comment. This was 2 weeks ago. I have heard back from one person who fixed my typos.
I now need to send it to the head of the program, and sort of imply that people had no comment but withoput making them mad and/or make it seem like they must agree because I didn't hear from them. Should I say that I have sent it around for comment and their were "no significant changes made" Should I just leave it that I sent it around for comment and let them get in trouble if I said something bad that they should have caught?
take a route on another avenue and walk over Tom, will probably much less of a hassle.
thankfully, they do not email me.
Sophia, I'd just say it was already sent around for comment - or you solicited comment from blah blah and blah.
JZ, yeah, it'll be like:
FAKER CHICK 2.0: I'm sorry.
MEDIA: You say that all the time. I don't think it means what you think it means.
FC: No, you really gotta help me. I've been in here six hours and he's not done with *the eighties* yet. And, what's a zeitgeist?
MEDIA: Don't ask us. We don't know. Is Hillary wearing cleavage?
FC: He says I broke this zeitgeist thing, and quoted some old Mencken guy.
MEDIA: Sucks to be you.

No Capt. Jack Harness? That's just wrong.
This was 2 weeks ago. I have heard back from one person who fixed my typos.
Have you sent a "if I don't hear back from you by 5pm, I'll assume you don't have any significant comments" email? Was there a deadline in the original email? Sadly, I've often found the former will result in sudden "Oh yes, here's my (enormous massive) changes" responses.
Or, if you don't really care, then yes, just say you circulated it to X Y and Z, and incorporated any comments they sent. If X sees it, he may assume Y and Z sent comments, and feel guilty, and not say anything. :)
Thanks Jesse and msbelle!
WRT to the Immortal thing- WILLIAM SADLER played the Grim Reaper in Bill and Ted. Like, William Sadler from Roswell and Wonderfalls?
So, we need to restock on staples at our new house. We did a fly by of the grocery store. Milk? $5-6 a gallon (granted, for ease, we stopped at Gelsons which is super pricey). WTF?!?
I know! Last weekend I managed to get our weekly grocery run under $100 ($97.30, but still!), and I felt like doing a victory dance on the way to the parking lot. I haven't tracked price changes in individual items, except to mourn how apples and green peppers, which both now run around $1.99/lb. at our usual store, used to be cheap staples back when I was first a grown-up buying my own groceries 15 years ago or so.
And I wish $100/week was all we were spending, because that's not counting spot runs to pick up an ingredient or two, nights when we order pizza or takeout, etc. And it's definitely not counting all the $$ we spend at our work cafeterias. We could do better--less convenience foods, less having leftovers rot in the fridge when we could take them for lunch or reheat them a day or two later. But we have to balance frugality with saving time and all the other demands on our lives, and there's no denying prices are shooting way up.
They keep saying "stagflation" on NPR.
