Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of Kritzerland at Vitello's 94, and now it is time for you to post until the 94 cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: CIRCUMVENT!
-
TOD when my mom and i were San Francisco, we had dinner at our hotel near Fisherman's wharf. I had a daquiri which of course was blended. Unfortunately I when I drank it, I found ground glass in it. They offered to comp an after dinner drink for my mom!
-
First post after jan's first post after BK!
-
Topic of the Day: I don't think I've ever found something terribly wrong with a meal that I've had. I've had minor annoyances, but not very often at all where I've had to send something back. My friend Margo is more likely to call attention to things like that than I am.
-
BK, nice cast picture in the note...even with the Village of the Damned eyes.
;)
-
And congrats on the latest success of the successful Kritzerland show!
-
Today starts the last pay period where we can earn extra hours to get a paycheck on December 31. I've been working overtime (at time and a half) and will also cash in some vacation time to make up the difference. We can accrue up to 86 hours between working overtime and cashing in vacation. We have until December 15 to do all of this.
-
And now, I need to go to sleep.
Have a good day, all.

GROUND GLASS?! Oh Lord they should have comped the entire meal. Try the mold next time!
Alexa actually ate up the rest of the dessert, and who knows if those other tiny donuts had mold on the bottom of them. Congratulations to Bruce on the Kritz holiday show.
Have a good week everyone. Off to sleep, oh boy it's really late.
-
Good morning, all!

And I thought Annabelle and Thatch were a handful!

I have 22 emails at work left to deal with. I gave up on them at some point this weekend.

Good morning, all.

This is ACC #30126, Levi aka Bruiser, one year old. I think his murder aka euthanasia in July 2018 haunts me the most because he was so damned adorable. How can you justify murdering something so precious?

Great to read about both the Kritzerland and Carol shows. And how amazing to get that positive review on top of it.

TOD
I’ve too many stories to tell, and as a critic, I tried various ways of dealing with bad experiences to see what would happen. One of the worst was finding a broken ceramic cup handle in a dessert. The server refused to acknowledge it, so did her manager. I wrote it up and they still refused to even apologize.
-
Monday morning greetings! Today I have a holiday luncheon with one ladies' group, and tomorrow another. On my way to today's event I'm going to visit my friend Sharon who had hip surgery last week and take some homemade soup for her and her husband.
-
TOD - My worst experience was the last morning of our honeymoon. We had an early breakfast at the hotel and headed to Oxford for the graduate class we were taking together. I'd made the mistake of eating the sausage gravy that tasted a little "off" and we came home by way of the emergency room. They young physician asked if I could be pregnant and I said, "I've only been married a week!"
-
For this week:
It's far more generous of you to offer what you would do if you were in you-know-who's shoes than to offer a critique of said shoes -- anyone can be a critic. Also, what you say is just as important as how you say it. The details of this person's situation are certainly more complicated than you realize, and coming on too strong will only diminish your position from where you can dispense advice (and it is certainly a position you enjoy). As for dispensations of other kinds, money is tight at the end of the week, so don't go driving down the highway throwing dollar bills out the window.
-
And I had my dollar bills all ready!
-
Congrats to MR BK & DR TCB on the success of their Sunday shows!
-
PAGE TWO is here!
-
Thanks to DR jan for the show review......
-
I shall have to think about the TOD.
-
The Kritzerland show last night was terrific! The song choices were great and all the performances were superb. We sat with Autumn Jessel's parents who were very nice and obviously very proud of their daughter. They live just north of us in Simi Valley so we could talk about the tragedies of Thousand Oaks last month. It turns out I ordered the same mushroom bolognese that Bruce did. I noticed the vegetarian sausage in the description and Mr. Jessel said that "vegetarian" and "sausage" don't go together, but I ordered it anyway, and it was very good. I was glad I ordered it because I had to eat it in my lap because a lot of the food arrived very late, just as the show was starting. And I had to turn my chair completely around to see the stage, which I usually do, but I couldn't do that and eat my food on the table at the same time, so my lap was my only option. I only hoped the performers didn't notice the weird women in front with a huge bowl of pasta in her lap. I was glad I didn't order something that required a knife and fork because I would have been screwed. But others did which meant there was quite a lot of clanging of silverware during the first five songs, so I tried to be as quiet as a mouse while I twirled pasta around my fork. ;)

Wow, you can't get more obvious than a cup handle.

I'm up, I'm up - I was up at eight-thirty for thirty minutes, then went back to bed - I think about nine or ten hours of needed sleep.

I am sorry, I think that is horrible. Why is he upsetting the cat like that?
-
Amy, would you try vegetarian haggis? I saw a canned version for sale Saturday.
-
I know there are some here who do not like Adam Sandler. Even so I hope you find his Chanukah song as much fun as I do.

This morning I decided I was well enough to go to my first important appointment of the week. Having only one car Keith dropped me off and went to the gym. While I waited for him I walked around nearby stores and browsed. I went into the Big Lots store and found 3 decorative throw pills that work well with our new comforter and shams. Now all we need is a bed skirt instead of the mismatched one we have.
The price on the pillows was about half of others we have looked at :)
-
Fingers crossed I am not feeling any worse and make it to important appointment number 2, PT, tomorrow.
-
Think I'll go have a meal somewhere. I was almost going to make some pasta and butter here, but I'm not sure I feel like that today.
-
Today is my sixth anniversary at USAA. Even when I get stressed, I’m really happy to be working here.

Back from a sandwich and onion rings, then picking up some packages, mostly screeners - Black Panther and Mary Poppins Returns arrived plus a Warner Bros. code to stream all their films - the only one I want to watch is The Mule, the new Clint Eastwood movie, but that won't be available until the 14th.

I had Anderson's Split Pea soup for dinner and added red kidney beans for protein. Surprisingly it was good with the beans.
-
I am home but just about to leave
-
Where are you going?
-
Good evening.
-
It never occurred to me that Anderson’s soup might be available online or in stores. Must keep that in mind.
-
And now I am back again
-
We went to the Texas Roadhouse for dinner
-
Well, I was going to stay at work for another 10 minutes, but I have to rush home because I forgot my script and score! I'll get that and then hie myself to rehearsal.
Be back later.
-
I had a celebratory drink
-
I gave my two weeks notice today
-
I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!'
-
Today I added to my burthen by agreeing to play the final dress rehearsal of A Charlie Brown Christmas on Thursday evening at a theater an hour away, for which I will observe their Wednesday rehearsal which, coincidentally, is an hour away.
Tomorrow evening is the Hello, Dolly! rehearsal, an hour away from here.
-
OH MY GOD !!!!!!!!
-
;) :) :D ;D :D ;) :) :D
-
This makes my day, DR vixmom.
No. My week! I shall walk with a lighter step through this crazy week.

I found it at WinCo Food to my surprise and excitement. I will have to return for more.

Worth losing the bonus for. Vibes this is your perfect job.
-
We need details! How did you hear about it? Did you already know this attorney? What was your boss's reaction?
And if you really only work 9-5 that'll be like a HUGE raise!
-
Yay! Yay! Yay!
-
My iPad is down to 5% so I may disappear anytime
-
May this be the turnaound from a bad year for so many.
-
Can you hear us all jumping up and down with joy!
-
The job listing appeared on indeed but it was brought to my attention by one of my coworkers
-
She had worked for this attorney years ago. She left because her husband had terminal cancer and she became his full time caregiver. When he passed she came to work where we are now
-
She said he was wonderful to work for
-
I am very excited and somewhat nervous
-
Apparently my former attorney and former manager provided really nice references
-

-
Gotta go plug this in
-
Goodnight all
-
Congratulations, vixmom!
-
I am very excited and somewhat nervous
I expect so.

Shout hooray and hallelujah! Happy days are comin' to ya!
-

That's because you're Lutheran and you don't like change. But this one will be in a much healthier situation for you.
-
That news, Vixmom, will make the next week before vacation a little easier to bear.
-
I would like to ask for some of those amazing HHW vibes for my work wife, Krista, who is pregnant with twins. She failed a glucose test and needs to go in for further testing tomorrow.
-
Good night, all.

VIBES FOR KRISTA!

I have to be up by 6:00 a.m. to get ready for the matinee.
-
I need enough time to slap on the mortician’s wax.
-
Fortunately, I got my line notes delivered by email this morning.
-
So I had plenty of time today to ignore them.
-
It is already down to 28 degrees here in Tacoma.
-
The first of several really chilly nights.
-
But, at least, that means some sunshine during the days. And no rain until the weekend.
-
I am running out of time.
-
I really need to get to bed, but there is no one else here to carry on the posting. Sorry!
-
Goodnight.
-
I gotta tell you.

Rehearsal tonight went well. :)
-
We started act two and got through my song...twice, even.
-
There was some stopping and starting along the way, but no one crashed and burned.
-
We don't have to be off book yet, so a few of us had our scripts and/or scores in hand.
-
Pretty much everyone but the main family got to leave at about 9:00.
-
The last few scenes are mostly with just them.
-
Tomorrow night will be just a music rehearsal.
-
I'm not sure what we'll go over on Wednesday.
-
Starting this Thursday, we now have rehearsals on Thursdays.
-
We also added Sunday evening rehearsals.
-
We open on December 20th!
-
:o
-
That's in two weeks and two days...and one day before the Winter Solstice!
