My pet peeve about work is that I'm still working. Hour 11 so far. Hopefully when the current report finishes I can be done.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
As long as I got to be high carb (with my attendant high blood pressure!) I could be down with that.

Congrats, brenda.
I got word on the intern. Fractures in feet, possibility of spinal fractures. Could've been much worse.
OOF, that's bad enough!
A friend fell with a Genie lift, when we were in grad school. It messed up one of his feet to the extent that he is on disability. Didn't stop him from designing, just hanging lights...ever.
Pet peeve: time machine backup that is taking forever. I need to get a new backup disk. Or something.
How the hell is Elton in the closet?
Maybe he's having trouble deciding which feather boa goes best with a chartruese fur coat?
The writer seems certain that Spacey will come out soon, but that closet is made out of diamond, not glass.

Yikes. I know two people who have gone over in Genies. One had a broken back, the other had fractured ribs and a punctured lung. I'm glad I wasn't around for either incident.
Again, really glad I do costumes. In college, we had to hang and focus one light to pass the tech theatre class, and I was so nervous about falling that I made one of the tech people hold my feet while I was leaning out over the light from the cat walk.
So I got a box of stuff from my parents full of freebies they've acquired (they're packing up the bedroom and bathroom to put in new floors.) In addition to a NRA pocketknife (yes, my dad joined the NRA. It's hilarious, given him) and fancy hotel soaps, there was a google "orb." White plastic ball with LEDs inside. When I put it on random color mode, it makes Loki INSANE.
Awesome. But I'll have to put it in a drawer at night.
I only got scared on the high grid over the fly gallery. Hanging lights in the grid didn't scare me at all. I've known techies who climbed around on them like monkeys. I think people take more precautions than we knew to back then.
