Well, that's pretty standard from Prescott (then again, I was trying to be mindful of my speed, since there were cops scattered throughout the route) -- and I hit a little bit o' traffic just right here in LA.

Through Phoenix?

Cason · « **Reply #302 on:** April 10, 2007, 06:04:06 PM »

No, no - I go down through Skull Valley, Yarnell, Peeples Valley, etc. and pick up the 10 right outside of Quartzsite.

Ok. It takes me more than six hours to get to LA from here.

I have a meeting in Orange County Friday at noon. I am thinking I will need to leave about 4 a.m. because I drive slow. And stop at a few Starbuckses (?) along the way.

They have us booked at a hotel. Here is a link to a site that reviews hotels. I sent the head office the link but have not heard back yet.

It's a shame when a talented actor doesn't get the role because the pianist can't play the song.

DR RonP, I have a feeling that if you talk to this woman you will hurt her feelings. She is probably sensitive and I think she will be hurt.

I sort of liked the idea about having another co-worker casually mention that you've talked to them many times about how you like your walks alone to reflect. Maybe they could even add an "but i'll bet he's too nice to say anything to you."

I suppose there is no way that you would consider walking with her occasionally. That might be a lot easier for her (if you mentioned that you would be happy to walk with her once or twice a week but that the rest of the time you use to think/reflect).

Or perhaps you could mention that you powerwalk and hope it won't be too fast for her.

Good luck.

Or tell her the truth, and say you had beans for dinner last night.

Ha ha ha -- oh man, nothing like terrible audition experiences.

I blazed back here into LA today so that I could make an audition this afternoon for a staged reading/production of a musical based on the movie "Mermaids" - which starred Cher. They had specifically asked for a 1960's pop song for the audition.

So, there were only about 7 people at this open call - I was the last one who had walked in; it started up at least a half hour late; then when I finally went it, the pianist couldn't play "Runaround Sue," the song I had picked. So, having been frazzled from driving 6 hours and not really thinking about it when I had left the house, I didn't really have any other music to sing. So, we gave "Miracle of Miracles" a shot, but the accompanist could barely figure that one out as well...

Okay, God, I get it - this one wasn't meant to be!

Well, I guess, this one you really can blame on Jose!

I've returned. The long night at work last night, the short sleep, the long day at work today, and the necessary nappage to recover from the long night, the short sleep, and the long day - well, they're over now. And I've got tomorrow off... so far.

Now, all I have to do is catch up on the postings.

You have all been warned.

Well, Cason, its your own damn fault! Instead of auditioning for the musical version of MERMAIDS in El Ay; you could have been in New York auditioning for the role of Dainty June.

I suppose I have to go to bed, but I swear I could have danced all night.

I got very excited to see that My Fair Lady opened at the ahmonson on April 9th, and really wanted to go see despite any and all costs. I absolutely love Matthew Bourne, and support his work when possible.
Sadly, someone called to my attention that My Fair Lady starts
April 9th at the Ahmonson NEXT YEAR!!!!

DO YOU REALIZE HOW LONG A YEAR IS TO WAIT FOR SOMETHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*sulks silently*

Sulking silently is bad for your health. It internalizes the problems, where they fester and boil and cause pimples.

You have my permission to sulk noisily.

Go for it, girl!

Adriana, even though it's a year away, at least you realized this BEFORE you went to the theater! I usher for a lot of shows in town and there have been too many times when a bunch of people (usually) come in with their tickets all excited to see whatever show that they've come to see and then they find out that their tickets were for the night before...or the week before! $:-\$

Indeed -- I saw Merissa's name on the board and thought of you guys. I also saw her flyers on the table next to the front door.

What to do? What to do?

I find myself in a curious situation. One of my co-workers has decided that she is going to be part of my daily walks around the lake.

I've not invited her to join me. I've not voiced any interest in being accompanied. I've not blessed her vocalizations on the topic in any way.

Today she let me know she has brought in her "walking shoes" in anticipation of "our" walks. She has even gone so far as to establish a set time for each walk.

However do I tell her I don't wish to walk with her? This co-worker has a history of trying to ingratiate herself to folks and insertig herself into facets of their lives.

I don't want to hurt any feelings, but....NO!

You could propose marriage. And insist that all her bridesmaids be your ex-boyfriends.

More seriously, she sounds like one of those people who need their feelings hurt, because she's not taking into consideration your own feelings. Sure, she'll wail and weep and make you seem like such a meany, but she's bound to have wailed and weeped many times before, when the people she's forced to include her have have also finally said "no." Just count yourself among the many.

Be selfish, dude.
