Sean -- still sending~~~~

{{vw}}

and I just did a little dance of Joy -- someone Matt sent his resume to just called. His job went from frustrating, tiring , but with possibilities to an insane asylum 6 weeks ago. A little job ma ~~~ his way would be good ,as I send it out to TCG and Tom.

ma to Comic friend~~~~~

Oh, all sorts of job ~ma for Matt, beth-- and for ita and Sean, lots of healing ~ma

I've had a crappy evening, where I thought I'd moved a home visit appt to tomorrow and she was expecting me this afternoon and I didn't get the messages about the mix-up until 10 pm tonight too late to call and straighten it out, but this made me laugh.

{{{Sean}}} continued ~ma headed your way. And vw's. And ita's. And whoever else needs it.

Cafetorium

Ah....the cafetorium. The other 3 middle schools in our district have cafetoriums. The stages are wood, however, and not tiled concrete. Our high school has a great auditorium, but no storage to speak of and no shop.

My school has a 1/2 gym. They installed heavy vinyl (? whatever tarps are made of) curtains that are rolled up in the ceiling. The controls are by the outlets for the lights. Of which there are 6. I mean, 6 total instruments. Hung behind cages for safety since it's a gym. At least I don't spend a lot of time dealing with lights. It's pretty much off or on. And, a spot.

Any wings we have are made out of flats positioned on the sides of the stage main playing area. Again, at least I don't spend a lot of time on complicated sets.

For all of our lack of performance facilities, I have great co-workers and a supportive admin. And that means a whole whole lot.

Oh, Sean, I hope for the best outcome, and wish you strength.

I cut and colored a girlfriend's hair tonight! With manicure scissors. It didn't look bad -- I gave her some shaggy layers in front and cut about an inch of the back and shaped it up some.

Ready to open shop! Hee.

So, Hivemind. Should I tap in my retirement to pay for these hospital bills while I am un/underemployed. I know it'll cause me a big hit, but I'm afarid that otherwise I'll get nibbled to death by hungry zombie ducks till June.

Iron Chef is the perfect show when reality is wrong

Husband is home! After a week from hell at work, complicated by the fact that we are dogsitting a friend's pup and I have been animal wrangling every day, it is so nice to have him here.

The company owner called me today (the first we have spoken since the Big Fuck-Up) and said "I'm afraid I have ANOTHER thing to talk to you about--I just heard the the 401k paperwork is late." I was able to say, "Yeah, I finished that 6 weeks ago and sent it to the Finance Manager." That felt good. DH also has helpfully pointed out that the my fuck up was not that I didn't have the proper paperwork, but that two of 11 documents had not yet been scanned onto our server and that as fuck ups go, this wasn't huge and I have to stop obsessing RIGHT NOW.

Also, he bought me a gorgeous handpainted silk scarf in Quebec, the dollface.

If you're talking about a 401(k), it's taxed at your income tax level, plus a 10% penalty. I'm not saying I haven't done it; I'm just saying it was a bad idea and I'd be a richer person if I hadn't. You have 60 days to roll it over. Maybe you could wait a month or so to see what your job situation is?

We did it for the house , Erin. big hit - but hard for one year, but worth it . and quite frankly, he house is part of the retirement -- so it feels like just a different investment for the same purpose

So, The Fly was.... interesting.
