Congrats, brenda.
I got word on the intern. Fractures in feet, possibility of spinal fractures. Could've been much worse.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
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.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
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.

In younger days I sometimes did rigging for rock shows, climbing thru triangle truss 100' over the arena floor with no fall protection. I'm not afraid of climbing, but I have encountered lifts and ladders that made me nervous. And a couple of stage floors that I don't think were safe to have lifts or ladders on.

I was also a little afraid of power tools. I think this stems from having 2 shop teachers in high school who were missing fingers. I didn't mind the drill/drivers, but I did not like saws, except the jigsaw, which reminded me of a sewing machine.
It was weird because costumes was on the tech track and not the acting track, but tech theatre had nothing to do with costumes (although I am glad I took it because I understand what the other departments do), and I was not the best at it, being scared of everything.
