She's waiting for Ella Enchanted. (She was surprised that anyone besides she and I knew about that book.)
What? There was a movie and everything!

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I've seen Ella Enchanted in the stores. And the Washington Post's summer children's book club had it as one of their books.

Nora, I think so. You?
'Course, I'm on the board of the ICNA.
When's your interview today?

Well, I figured you would be there.
When's your interview today?
It was at 3 pm! Just got back. I will hear by COB tomorrow. I'm really nervous, now. The salary is on the low end of what I wanted, but is totally doable, and it sounds like if I make some good contributions I could get up to what I asked for in a few years. And for a nonprofit the bennies are pretty decent. In conclusion, I WANTS IT YES I DOES.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

She has the misfortune of living in a small rural Southern town amongst the Mugglest of Muggles. If it isn't Oprah's book club or primetime/daytime tv, they don't know it.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Hivemind advice needed. As you may know, I'm a house manager at a local theatre. There are anywhere between 5 and 7 of us on staff at any one time. One of the other house managers is an actor and he and I tend to work the same shifts. This is his only steady gig, so he takes as many shifts as he can. However, when he does get an acting gig or another job, he just sends an email "hey, I'm doing this other thing, so I need these shifts covered" and every one else needs to scramble to take care of it. I tend to get screwed with either limited staff on shifts, not getting the days/special events I was promised, or I can't get anyone to cover when I need it.
it was a problem last season, and it's already happening again this season. I'm trying to decide if I want to say anything, since I'm generally the one that it affects the most, but I want to nip this shit in the bud and establish that he can't just do this shit.
or am I overreacting?

Nuh and uh. Sounds like actor boy has entitlement issues and while you can be flexible, it doesn't mean that you should always have to based on last minute dictates on his part.

is there any way he can give you some notice? Like would 24 hours be sufficient?

You are not overreacting. He needs to treat his commitment there as he would any other job. Minimum of 24 hour notice, and if someone isn't able to cover his shift, he comes in.
