It is hailing here and looks slightly like the world is ending. Power's already gone out once.
If the apocalypse comes, beep me.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Hi all. I am skipping and skimming, but I feel like I need Buffistas support to do this. I think I am ready to quit my theatre job. I got the parameters for next year that we need to not pay student workers. I was ready to stick it out a couple of years until they had a full time position ready, which I wouldn't take. However, the amount of time from me required to give credit students a good educational experience is not available.
I received a promotion at my day job that is all about providing good educational experiences that also allows me, monetarily to quit
It means giving up my identity as a theatre professional and that is hard,
But I am thinking that using my theatre skill to make good nurses might be OK, and also I could volunteer and help people that way.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think you should absolutely quit. Also would you consider making me some dresses?

Our wings are not tired.
My mind went to, for everything there is a season. It sounds like it is time for you to make a change.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds like the right choice, Sophia.

Thank you. I think it is the right decision too. I have a student with a good career on broadway. I have made a difference. I don't need the money. I don't have the bandwidth to wade through a three page document to tell me if a student is eligible for pay or to borrow costumes. I want to work with students and I can still do that. But I am also far enough along in my career that I could walk up to a school and say "do you want me to talk about costumes?" And they would let me.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I think you're right, Sophia, FWIW.
I spent a lot of time out on the patio just now -- the temp is about 70, but the wind is pretty strong. At least I'm not complaining about being sweaty?

Yeah, it doesn't sound like you have much doubt, Sophia. You knew the time had come.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And I don't think you have to give up your identity as a theater professional! You're just not doing this job right now.
