Well, you've read the notes, the notes looked back, and now it is time for you to post until the looking back cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: JOYANCE!
-
I was interrupted ;)
-
First I wanted to correct a typo.
-
I can easily do the 2nd post I was attempting.
-
DR TCB the photos of the tornado looked awful. I am glad it didn't hit you.
-
I was interrupted ;)
So was I. ::)
-
Well, I need to go to sleep. My ex-boyfriend (we remained friends) is going to call me in the morning to chat. We haven't seen each other in quite a few years, but we've texted and e-mailed and stayed in contact.
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning
-
TCB. I haven't met all my new co workers yet as some are part time and some have been our on vacation. The one person I have spent all my time with is the person I am replacing, and herlast dayis the 28th
-
I am somewhat nervous about learning all I need to know about what she has been doing for 20 years in only 6 more days
-
The old office was open so we all saw each other,the new one is all little cubicles so you can't see anyone else
-
Good afternoon, all. It’s already 12:30 here.
-
I want to state on the record that I never was Anastasia and have never claimed to be. That I recall. What I said under the influence of relaxing substances is another subject matter.
-
It’s raining off and on today, so we will see what happens.
-
Auf wiedersehen.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I think I slept well, although it seemed like a very long night. Faithful Thatch stayed with me all night. Annabelle crawled into bed for a bit, then headed for her washtub in the bathroom. She goes through moods.
-
This is my last City Center day for a week. Joshie leaves for family tomorrow. I may bring some work home with me, but I'll only know for sure today. I have plenty to do here with that choral arrangement and How To Succeed . . . piano/conductor score for Act Two.
-
I watched THE NAKED CITY (1948) last night on DVD.
Hadn't seen it for 10 years or more, and I was amazed at the number of unbilled/then unknown performers in that cast who later had major careers as character actors...and stars. Some of them just had silent or one line bits. It was like "spot the future star". Among them:
Arthur O'Connell
David Opatoshu
Nehemiah Persoff
Molly Picon
John Marley
James Gregory
Kathleen Freeman
Bruce Gordon
Paul Ford
John Randolph
and
Curt Conway (One of my very first publicity clients and one of the top acting coaches of his day.)
I may have missed one or two, but none of those folks had on-screen billing

Good morning!
-
DR Jane-- I guess this is late but to answer your question, the weather was beautiful here yesterday. And it looks to be another nice day today.
-
DRs Matthew and Jane: Can you tell me how long it took to get an interview for Global Entry? I applied in October and the status is still "wait for conditional approval." Of course the time probably varies depending on geographic location but I'd like to get an idea.
-
Today is Wednesday.
I am having lunch with my lovely cousin Carol - my cousin on my mother's side. My mother's sisters and brothers all seemed to have children in three's - so there are sets of three cousins very close in age born from the late forties to the mid-sixties.....
The third member of our trio - cousin Jenny - passed away many years ago....I was born in late 1950, Jenny was born in early 1951, and Carol was born in mid 1951.
-
I enjoyed watching the Laverne and Shirley episode that MR BK posted yesterday....and I remember seeing it on its first run!
-
I remember seeing Penny Marshall and Carrie Fisher in some film about their lives - I don't remember, it may have been on the old A/E channel....anyway, they were getting a massage out by Penny's swimming pool and talking about how women are treated by the industry.....
And Penny said something like - every guy I meet, every guy who takes me out.....after about the third date he says: "I have a script...."
-
I have decided not to purchase the new TV....I don't think the increase in screen size by 4" would really make that much difference....I will wait until I can get a screen that's at least 9 or 10 inches wider.....
-

Not too late at all. Thank you. I am glad the weather has been nice.

It would have taken months for me, not much time at all for Keith, weird since he submitted my application half an hour after his. They sent us options, once we were approved for interviews, to stop at the airport on our return trip out of the country. You have to go through regular customs first and then go to the global entry line for the interview.

Sounds like you made the right decision to wait.
-
I need to get ready for my last PT appointment of the year.
-
Wednesday morning greetings! This is the beginning of my 4 days in a row at home (except for book group tomorrow evening). Let the Christmas cocooning begin!
-
Good morning, all.
-
I allowed myself a slow start to the morning. It's always such a nice change when the early morning show or concerts are over.
-
I am loving my new normal
-
Wake up, shower, leisurely breakfast, dress, leave house at 8:52 am arrive at work 8:54 am
-
Leave work on lunch break at 1 pm arrive home at 1:02
-
I am now eating a lunch of fried eggs, sausage, toast and tea
-
And I had a nice chat on the phone with Vixdad
-
What a fool I wasnot to accept his job offer 20 years ago
-
I am somewhat nervous about learning all I need to know about what she has been doing for 20 years in only 6 more days
Vixmom, does she have some kind of procedures manual already prepared? If not, I REALLY hope you take good notes! I know I don't. ::)

Gratuitous Post #42. The Post with the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything!

I'm currently reading a biography of Douglas Adams, so that's in my mind.

Jrand, I assume you have room for something that much bigger? A co-worker of mine told me that she can't get a widescreen TV larger than 36" because in her very small apartment, the only place that she can have a TV is that small. Of course, she could also completely rearrange things, but that would require taking down shelves and really mucking things up in her place.

Nice! That's even less time than it takes me to get to work!
-

Live and learn. But you have it now...and you will probably appreciate it much more now than if you'd had it all these years!
(That's my story and I'm sticking to it.)
-
I think so too DR JANE.
I will have to measure for sure DR GEORGE, but I think I can get at least a 55" screen where my current tv is.
-
Vibes for DR GINNY and MR BK to enjoy their ME times...
-

Once the weather is better I hope you both begin walking to work. Just want to keep you healthy :)
-

Oh, I didn't know this. Figure you gained experience that will help you be better at the job.

DRs Matthew and Jane: Can you tell me how long it took to get an interview for Global Entry? I applied in October and the status is still "wait for conditional approval." Of course the time probably varies depending on geographic location but I'd like to get an idea.
I got really lucky. It all happened rather quickly. The day or so after my application was approved, I was told I needed to get an appointment and they are usually booked months in advance. That would not have been good since I'm leaving for Amsterdam in a week. So, I went online and the first appointment seemed to be in late January. So, I kinda freaked out. however, all of a sudden, there on the calendar was an appointment for THAT DAY. So I grabbed it, made sure i had all my credentials and headed to the airport. The interview was quick, and the card came a week or two later. Best $100 I've ever spent. It's good for 5 years.
-
I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep.
-
And hello and good afternoon to you all
-
Rehearsing the school Christmas program today for the program tomorrow. It's coming together.
-
I am home from City Center, and it was a long work day for me. Joshie leaves tomorrow morning for Vermontm and I have the next seven days to myself at home. We will get back to work on the 27th.

Great movie
-
It’s been a long and fun day though rain kept us from doing much. We spent the evening playing rummy and drinking Aperol spritzers.
-
And I’m ready for bed.
-
But first ...
-
Three!

I first read that as "...drinking Aerosol spritzers." :o

You did get lucky.

Craig's package wasn't delivered again. All day it said it was out for deliver. Now it says "Scheduled delivery: Pending" and it is saying "No scheduled delivery date available at this time.".

It stills says:
IN TRANSIT
On FedEx vehicle for delivery
BELTSVILLE, MD
-
I wonder if the truck driver runs out of time and doesn't complete his/her deliveries.
-
What is global entry?
-
There seem to be way too many complaints on the internet regarding the same problem.
-
Latest update, cuz I know you are all very interest ;)
Customer Not Available or Business Closed
Recommended action: Delivery will be re-attempted the next business day.
Scheduled delivery: Thursday 12/20/2018 by end of day
I would think that Fedex has a key or code to deliver packages.
-
What is global entry?
For a fee you can get a card that gets you TSA pre-approved for the fast security line in the States, and the fast line when returning from international flights.
-

-
The card is good for a year and then you get to pay to renew it.
-
Thanks, DRs Jane and Matthew!
-
Well, it's time for me to leave work and go to the theater. Tonight is our final dress rehearsal! Hope it goes well!
Be back later!
-

For a fee you can get a card that gets you TSA pre-approved for the fast security line in the States, and the fast line when returning from international flights.
And what's great is that if you have the United Airlines Visa Card, they'll reimburse you for the $100 fee.

Rehearsal vibes for DR George!

We don't have it. Bryan got a new credit card, forgot which one, that included free Global entry.
-
Our issue with Fedex for Craig is nothing compared to ours for Bryan who stayed home two days in a row waiting for a delivery, only to find a notice that he wasn't there to receive it. >:(

Back from a fine closing performance of Norwalk High School's "Candlelight" holiday concert.
And now, tomorrow, on to the next thing - a local theater company's first foray into small "cabarets" at various senior residences.

Oh swell, I am older than Kris Kringle!!
-
I am
watching trying to watch this Penatonix Christmas special. The writing is terrible, but you would think that someone could have taught them how to lip sync. They are just moving their mouths — no attempt at breath control. It is really stupid.
-
Where is everyone tonight?
-
Christmas shopping?
-
Tree trimming?
-
Egg nogging?
-
Donning gay apparel?
-
Falling on our knees?
-
One more.
-
Page 4
-
Kissing Santa Claus?
-
Awaying in a manger?
-
Beating up that little drummer boy?
-
Hearing what I hear?
-
I’m done.

We just watched THE BIRDCAGE 😊

Ugh, so not a fan of the Pentatonix
-
Is there a secret website that has all of the Manhattan Transfer vocal arrangements hidden somewhere? That would sure make my life a little easier!
-
I have to be up extra early tomorrow.
-
'night
-
Five hours ago I listened to a CD I put in iTunes. The last selection wasn't of interest to me, so I highlighted those tracks and put them in the trash. But apparently another track was already highlighted - in the A's and unbeknownst to me it then put everything from A to M in the trash. I couldn't believe it. That's half of what I have in iTunes, about 8,000 tracks. And you can't just drag them from trash back into iTunes either - that would have been simple as pie. You have to put them on your desktop THEN drag them and putting too many on your desktop gets unwieldy so for five hours I've been doing fifteen tracks at a time and I have another five hours to go and I am IRRITATED.
-
Good evening.
-

That would be a great George question.
-
We are bracing for another wind storm tomorrow.
-
The wind warning is up from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
-
It isn’t exactly a hurricane, or another tornado like yesterday, but winds to 40 mph with gusts up to 60 mph.
-
George’s rehearsal must be running late.
-
Since they do open tomorrow night.
-
Rehearsal vibes for DR George!
Thanks, Kevin! Rehearsal went relatively well. :)
-
I wonder how vixmom’s third day went.
-
Even more important, I want to know how her previous office is doing without her.
-

When was it on? I totally forgot about that.
-
Welcome home, George.
-
Even more important, I want to know how her previous office is doing without her.
Good question!
-
Hi, Tom. I'm home.
-
After the run, the adults were kept after for a little bit to rework some of the scene transitions.
-
Today at the old actors lunch Roger highly praised my performance in YES VIRGINIA. He didn’t have very much good to say about the rest of the cast.
-
One more post.
-

-
I haven’t got much to say tonight.
-
After rehearsal, I went shopping for some kitty litter because I haven't had any time to get any more. Neve will be happy.
-
I need to do some more shopping, but I think I will postpone it until Friday.

I remember when they were competing in The Sing-Off. They were really good and natural back then.

The weather is supposed to be better on Friday.

I won't have any time for any more shopping until Sunday night.

Did you happen to record tonight’s holiday special?

I wish! When I was in high school, we sang a couple of their arrangements. I'm pretty sure that Hal Leonard was one of the publishers.

Oh, my goodness! :o If I had done that on my computer, I think most of the tracks would've just been deleted forever!

Are the stores open on Sunday night?

Sadly, I don't know of a specific place that would have those. :-\

Goodnight.

I would think so. It's the day before Christmas eve, which isn't any special day...so stores had BETTER be open!

Yes, we did stay longer than I expected.
-
Today at the old actors lunch Roger highly praised my performance in YES VIRGINIA. He didn’t have very much good to say about the rest of the cast.
He recognizes talent...and lack thereof.

I actually watched part of it on Comcast's streaming On Demand, so I thought that it had already been on and I missed it. Darn.

Good morning, all.

Thanks so much, Tom!

Goodnight.
Good night, Tom.

I’m up earlier than usual. For this trip anyway.
And it’s raining again. Only seven or so more days of rain forecast.

Vibes for George and company.

Good morning, all.
Hello, John!

Vibes for George and company.
Thanks, John!

Tomorrow is opening night!

I don't know what the run time is, but I think it'll be less that two-and-a-half hours.

...including intermission. :)
-
And now...
-
PAGE SIX DANCE!!

Well, I must be going. Gotta get my beauty sleep. 8)
Have a good day, all!
