Oh Todd, I'm so glad you're ok.
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Seska, this might be a tad confusing. .
The AT&T Performing Arts Center is owned/operated by the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts. The PAC is two brand new venues, a theater and an opera house. I work for Dallas Theater Center, who is the primary leesee of the theater building. We rent the actual theater space for 36 or so weeks of the year, and when the building is ready, we are moving our administration into the offices floor, as well as the costume shop.
I am the Sound Supervisor for DTC, and currently chief trouble shooter for the DCPA Wyly theater sound, video, intercom, and monitoring systems.

I also don't know from subtle. Predictably, I love that cake.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
omnis, it took several reads, but I just about got that :D (I sort of live in the theatre world by proxy, as The Girl directs.) That sounds really cool.

Skipping to say that we just made an offer on a house and now I feel like puking.

Trust my rage
Thanks, everyone. I keep telling myself that the *worst* thing is that we get a house that we really like. It's at the very top of our self-imposed limit, which is why I'm so stressed, I guess. I keep telling myself that if we have to, we just take the kids out of daycare until I find a job working for someone else. I don't think it will come to that, but I do all the financial planning in our house, so I tend to feel lots of weight on my shoulders about it. (It's funny; Joe would say that his total trust in me is a firm vote of confidence, but I also tend to feel lots of pressure not to make mistakes.)
Anyway, it's a beautiful house in great shape and is less than a mile from here. It's an interesting deal. They are building a house right down the street and don't really want to move until June when their house is completed. We have a lease here until July 1. So, we are discussing closing by Nov. 30 (to get the homebuyer's credit) but then renting to them for 6-7 months. It will work well for everyone and we are offering them basically their asking price minus 3% (we have no realtor) so I would think they would accept, but we will see. I put the deadline for tomorrow at 6pm, so I guess we will know by then.
