The directors I've worked with have pretty much all treated the cast like furniture during tech, there to stand and sit and walk on command and remain mostly silent and very remote from any of the collaborative work that happened. I honestly had no idea before you posted that that there was any alternative and that these were opportunities lost (as crew, it's always been totally fascinating and magical, but severely not so as onstage personnel).

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
In the best situations I've had give and take with the actors in addition to the director and other designers. I help them, they help me, they have a sense of what I'm working on in the moment. It's lovely. I'm sorry your experience has been otherwise.

Buffista pharmacists. A bunch of medications were delivered by mail, left by UPS in place where I did not think to look for them and thus ended up exposed to freezing temperatures for at least four hours. I'll call my pharmacist in the morning, but to your knowledge, which of the following are made less effective or less stable and long lasting by freezing? (Spelling may not be perfect:
Metaformin for diabetes, Lozarthz (blood pressure meds), Simvastin, Flonase (naasal spray), mupricin (antibiotic oinment), Finasteride (for prostate)

UPS normally leave on the porch, but in this case left in the thingie used to hold delivered newspaper - which is not where I would normally think to look for a UPS package.

Remember that Very Onerous Task that I alluded to earlier this week? My appointment to start resolving it is at 9 AM. Really, I know it's the sort of problem that can be resolved with money (possibly, if things don't go my way) but I'm rather apprehensive all the same.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You can do it, Theo! Here's to the quickest resolution for the smallest amount of money.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
which of the following are made less effective or less stable and long lasting by freezing?
Pills/tablets/capsules should be fine. The ointment should be fine. Not sure about the flonase. Definitely ask your pharmacist.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Easy resolution ~ma, Theo!
I am officially out of coffee. Having the last of the instant right now AINFG. It wasn't terrible when I first bought it but it's been open and on a shelf for, I don't know, probably years? Bitter.
But I am drinking it because coffee.
Yeah, I don't think that's a preposition.
