Why did people remove posts?

They weren’t relevant anymore.

Are you feeling better?

TCB - It was excruciating when I woke up but right now I can hobble almost (but not quite) pain-free. Perhaps it's the Advil that's helping, perhaps just getting acclimated to activity for the day.

Only one more week until my follow up visit with the bone doctor. So, I only have more week of having a 5000 pound leg or hopping around or hurting or being at all inconvenienced. Right?

I hope so, at least that the pain will have greatly lessoned.

Good spirits vibes to you!

As for a play or plays...

When I was in high school, our class took a trip to Baltimore to see a production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. I don't remember which company produced it or even what theatre it was in, but I remember smiling and laughing a lot. -And the Clown even moon-walked!

More recently, I'd have to say the Broadway production of Take Me Out. The show was about so much more than the shower scenes. Denis O'Hare was a wonder to behold. There were times when I forgot that he was just playing a character, that he was acting - it was such a natural, unforced performance. And at the stage door after the show, I was able to thank him for a truly transformative night in the theatre.

FJL, I also find my foot improves in the mornings as I use it. I think it gets more flexible. What did you do to your foot.

Speedy healing vibes for whatever is causing the problem.

Well, I need to get ready for my day. I'm off today, but I'm meeting up with various people for lunch, coffee, cocktails, dinner, etc. I'm looking forward to being social today.

Oh.. From yesterday...

I believe my first tax-paying paying job was my first summer working at Coast Guard Headquarters as a summer-hire between my freshman and sophomore years in college. I believe I made $4.35/hour, plus an hour or two of sick and annual leave each pay period (two weeks). I was a GS-1. And what was nice was that each summer we returned, we were automatically given a GS-Level raise. By my last summer there, I was a GS-4, and I was earning almost a full day of annual and sick leave each pay period, so come the end of the summer, I was able to take off the last week using my sick pay (they allowed that for the summer hires if we got our work down), then I'd get a nice little check a few weeks later for the annual leave I did not use.

Jose, how is Jason doing?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #45 on:** October 15, 2007, 08:35:35 AM »

Hmm... Now that I think of it, I think I started working at the CG HQ during my high school summers. Yep - I believe I started between my junior and senior year - I remember now having to get a Work Permit since I was not 16 yet - and then continued through my first two years in college. I think. I'm amazed at how much a blur that all is to me. Hmm...

Jeanne · « **Reply #46 on:** October 15, 2007, 08:36:30 AM »

I worked for the phone company one summer in college. I was paid $1.90/hr. I had jobs during high school, too, but don't recall the exact wage. It was less than $1.90, though; $1.90 was considered a good wage then.

TOD: Without a doubt, the OBC of Pippin, which simply blew me away from start to finish as a kid on my first stay in NYC. For you longtime RATM-ers, remember when John Rubinstein used to hang out there (I didn't know it at the time, but he was also my nephews' soccer coach in L.A., believe it or don't). We were all posting about Pippin, and a thread developed where people were talking about the characters calling each other by their real names. I posted that I seemed to remember some of the actors calling each other by their real names (which I really, truly think happened that night, maybe it was an accident--but I clearly remember Rubinstein and Clayburgh sitting on the lip of the stage and Jill called him John at one point), and John posted a long, insistent rant that that had never happened. Taught me that all kinds of people (ooh, a Bacharach & David reference) read this stuff and y'all had better be careful.

Jose, how is Jason doing?

Jason is doing well. Busy as usual. I haven't seen him in a week or so, so he must be busy right now. With the threat of the lockout, he's been on pins and needles wondering if he'll be unemployed for a day or two or three. Otherwise, no news is good news, but he did start his Actor's Equity Association paperwork the other week, so...

I had thought it was just a gout attack, but they've never gone on this long before. I'm thinking i did something to it during the big rainstorm when I got caught in it Thursday night.

RE last night's question - my first paying job was in-their-home day care for 2 neighborhood kids whose parents both worked outside the home. I made $15/week.

In grad school, I had my first paying library job in the Library Science Library. The hourly rate was $1.90, but I took a lot of weekend hours to get the supervisory rate of $2.10.

Looks like I am the only one around these hear parts who did not see LEGALLY BLONDE last night...instead I watched the 1957 film 18 AND ANXIOUS which starred Mary Webster, William Campbell, my interviewee Ron Hagerthy, and my want-to-be interviewee Jacqueline Loughrey (Miss USA 1952). Pretty good film.

Today I think I may watch a Friday the Wonder Dog double feature...ROOKIE COP and THE HIDDEN EYE. How's that for entertainment!

Regarding yesterdays Bi-Mart posts, I worked for a short time at the Bi-Mart in Ashland back in 1983. I then moved to Salem and worked at the Lancaster Dr. Bi-Mart for 13 years. Over those years I worked as a cashier, then clerked in Hardware, Toys, Photo and Sound, Housewares, Drug and Sundries, the front counter, receiving, and the last 5 years worked in the pharmacy.

The only department I did not officially work was Sporting Goods...however, while I was a clerk in Toys I did cover the Sporting Goods counter from time to time.

I didn't see Legally Blonde, either.
