'Lessons'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That could come back to bite you when Potential HR calls Previous HR to check your references.
I was an Enterprise Application Architect at one my last jobs, and Computer Resource Manager at another. What did I do? Project Management. Makes those entries a bit longer. I don't know if I've ever had the title Project Manager, but it's been my major field for ten years now. And the Computer Resource Manager people let me put Project Manager on my business cards.
So, this is one of the weirdest things in a while. This woman calls 911 and reports that after a fender bender, she and her 9 yr old daughter were abducted and thrown in the trunk of a Cadillac by two black men (of course).
Amber Alert issued, much hysteria, and an hour later, surveillance cameras pick up the mother and daughter at the airport, buying one-way tickets to Orlando.
They were picked up today at Disneyland.
WTF?
This is crazy. A Texas house bill would outlaw lighting designers. [link]
This bill is going to make it impossible for lighting designers who work in Texas to work on projects without being licensed as either an electrician, architect, engineer, landscape architect, or interior designer.
I'll bet they were surprised to be inundated with phone calls from theatre people all day long.

Running away: UR DOIN IT WRONG.
A landscape architect ????
That is crazy.
ETA: Also, why are they doing this? Or are they thinking of Lighting Design as installations in museums and office buildings and such, not as movable theatrical and concert equipment?
I don't think they were thinking theatre at all, just more architectural stuff. I'm not sure what the larger bill is. I've only seen this amendment.
So originally I was supposed to move into New Place last month, which means that last month, the New Place should have been empty and fixed and ready for me to bring my shit.
My mom got the key today and ran into the sister of New Landlady, who had been living in the NP previously but seemed to have already moved into a new place. Sister was very annoyed to see my mother.
The cabinets are still full of food and dishes, furniture and carpets and a whole roomful of stuff destined for the dumpster are still inside, I still don't have a mailbox. So the whole idea of getting in early and painting while it's "empty" is kinda out the window. I just hope that the sister is moved right the fuck out come Sunday morning.
But, seriously, they've had a whole extra month on top of the month prior when I first signed the lease. Two months they've had to empty that place. For serious?
In the meantime should I proactively change my title to Illumination Artiste?
Only if you like being UnAmerican
Texas is forcing me.
