I am alive! And finally caught up. Sorry, skimmed a lot, skipped a bit. It's been crazy at work. At the huge crunch time. This weekend, we had two watch n critique's, two stikes (when a show closes, and we clear out all the equipment), and loading in two other shows, one of which I am designing. Yes, my body is tired! Legs especially. At least one of the shows got reviewed, and it was too glowing, but good to get a favorable review, right? [link]
Hugs and brackets to all that needed. Far too much to pull a Meara.
From way back:
In case there's spare ~ma around - tomorrow they're gonna discuss my salary and terms at work. ~ma for "give Shir tons of money and great terms*" would be appreciated.
*Sadly, I doubt said terms will include cabana boys, but money would be good. Did I mention that most of the said money will be used to purchase certain airline tickets to see certain inhabitants of a certain online board?
Judging from a later post about reminding them about stuff that pertains to you, I'm guessing the meeting hasn't happened yet? And since you have some embarrassment about your living location? Might I suggest you use that to push for a bigger raise? "If I made more, I might be able to afford to move out into a home in a less controversial area". What? Just an idea! Oh, and for the record, buses in my area are co-ed. IJS!
I never got my Barbie Dream House but I did have the Millennium Falcon.
:: Swoon! ::
There was so much more. Alas. Can not recall all now. I can't wait for December. I will catch up on comp time, and have a bunch of half days, and a bunch more days off.
Oh! And I finally called the doctor to schedule new patient appointment. I was expecting a 3 month delay, like my old doctor. They had an appointment in less than two weeks. Um. No, too busy. So I got an appointment in December, when the schedule is perfectly nothing for me! Score! So? since I am back in SoCal where my old doctor is, do I go and get my file? Or does the doctor have to request that? Or is each doc office different?
Ravioli.
Forgot to mention. So there I am in the Sound Area meeting, and I mention that I've been in the habit of getting seasonal gifts for my crew, but usually that is one or two people. And asked if there is some gift exchange thing in the past? And somehow I was volunteered to organize the Secret Santa. Oy. Thankfully it's only 10 of us. And $20 limit (there are students, so, don't want to break the bank on folks).
The meeting did happen, but we're doing the whole bureaucratic dance today (and I'll get to know my terms and all. Exciting! Scary! Dear-Batman-I-Hope-They-Still-Want-Me!).
Good luck with the job overload, hon.
My Offical Cornholing is Dirty Story
When I was 12 or 13 my second cousins and I discovered their dad had two pornos and we swiped them and went over to yet another second cousin's house to watch them.
They were the most filthy things I'd ever seen before or since. Hand to god.
One of them had a Deliverancesque plot in which this group of people kidnapped some other group of people on a canoe trip and
tied a guy spread-eagle between two trees and penetrated him analy with an ear of corn prompting one of the other kidnappers to laugh that she was ACTUALLY cornholeing the guy.
Now, I don't know what the non-ear of corn in some guy's butt option was, but I suspect it was not referring to the bean bag game.
Honestly. Dirtiest thing I've ever seen.
I kindda hate the world, after reading Trudy's spoiler font.
I have no words for people's maliciousness.
Pornos have lots of nasty stuff, Shir. It's best to not think too hard about any of it and remind yourself the actors are in on the game.
I am sad I read Trudy's whitefont. And right before I sleep, too! Unfortunate.
Damn, this thread was funny while I was asleep.
A new week! In which I'm still not sure what to do about uni. But since I don't officially re-start till January either way, I am not spending the whole of it in the library. Just some of it. OK, probably quite a lot.
Ah, the exciting life of an academic! Porn and library!
Pornos have lots of nasty stuff, Shir. It's best to not think too hard about any of it and remind yourself the actors are in on the game.
I know. It was part of my job to index porn sites. And the later part of the sentence is what makes it horrific.
And tons of interview~ma to Wed., Seska!
