Sumi, I know! I've already started refering to her as Rose Tyler in my head.

Now I want to watch Dr Who.

If I get her sister Sadie I'm not sure what I'd name Sadie. Not Martha or Sarah Jane if I have Rose Tyler. Maybe...Teegan. Or Susan.

Yeah, well, sure you don't work like the zombie firm they wanted initially, but with you the actors don't have to wear helmets...I'm sure it's a wash. Not that I know anything about feeling guilty about physical needs, but my witty and clever friend does.

how about Mickie? or Rikki?

Sean do you really want to work for such an abusive employer again?

Sean they have to give you meal breaks! It's got to be against the law not to let people eat. Needing to eat is being human not a sign of being a bad worker.

cereal: Aw, Rose!!! Have you considered getting Sadie too? (am a total bleeding heart for hard luck kitty stories)

If I get her sister Sadie I'm not sure what I'd name Sadie. Not Martha or Sarah Jane if I have Rose Tyler. Maybe...Teegan. Or Susan.

Awww! Me too. Did I misread? Is Sadie Rose's sister, or daughter?

Also, I love that you are adopting an FIV+ kitty. You rock, askye.

Sean, now I'm really curious. Where you working at?

I'm at PPH, Omnis.

And other people are working longer nous than I am (though all departments but sound are getting meal breaks).

And normally, working here doesn't suck this bad. Or maybe it does when you're running crew, and I just don't have what it takes.

Yes, I'm having a very bad time of it.

Longer hours is what that is supposed to say.

x-posty with Sean

Omnis, the big theatre near our house. You know the one.

Sean, obviously they're being unreasonable. Gah. Theatres make me crazy sometimes, especially when they're doing their "One Big Musical!" each year. Laga, unfortunately, Sean's experience is not atypical for a lot of theatre gigs. They're some of the most abusive employers I've ever seen when they get into a jam or into their biggest show. I've wanted to beat theatres up many times over the past four years on ND's behalf for similar reasons.

As for whether or not they'll ask you back, Sean, I'd say to just do your best to keep yourself positive and pleasant to work with despite the shitty conditions. My experience is that that tends to make the biggest difference. If you're making a mistake here or there, they'll get over it. You are, after all, working stupid hours.

Sean, I know when you helped out on my show, E was happy with your work. I can't imagine you changing that opinion. He's a pretty reasonable guy.
