Hi Ben
Title: Re: LESSON LEARNED
Post by: elmore3003 on May 14, 2012, 04:11:33 AM: Good mornng, all! My last dream before my alarm sounded had an all-star cast and something to do with the review HELLZAPOPPIN but it's all to vague now. It's kind of like my day; I think I'm going to City Center to see Joshie and order paper for the DEAREST ENEMY orchestra parts, but nothing is confirmed yet. If this falls apart, I'll spend the afternoonat the Lincoln Center NYPL, learning what I can about the 1917 production of EILEEN, qhixh is giving me pressure about completing itsnotes before June 25.

On the famous office front, all hell again breaks loose, thanks ro what I consider the adverse side of the Man from Philadelpha. I think it's locked in, then he starts fretting and frittering and nothing seems certain. Luckily, this destructive personality only reveals itself at peculiar and infrequent moments. but I fear he's going to kibosh the office situation completely if he keeps this madness going. Until that leases is signed, which should have happened two weeks ago, life is hell. Keep them office vibes coming!

I have very little more to report: I'm overworked and I need an intern or an office; I survived the weekend, which was constructive and I accomplished much; ROBERTA is on course, if not where I'd like it to be because of the DEAREST ENEMY and EILEEN work; the DEAREST ENEMY prnting situation continues to be frustrating, primarily because we have no work space, no printing equipment, and I'm relying on the kindness of friends. Color me discontent or frustrated.

Yet, I get out of bed and continue to chip away at the obstacles.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Good Week Vibes to everyone! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quote
I read spoilers a couple weeks ago. I was very happy to watch Lisa Lampinelli go home and will be happy when the next one goes home too. I don't really think the final two are the strongest players, but it will be fun to watch them do the final challenge

I was happy with one of the finalists. Have really enjoyed Clay this season. I do not at all think that Arsenio should be in the finals. I just don't get it at all. I understand if Trump does not want Aubrey to be his apprentice. But to say she is simply too young ... that was not a reason to me to get rid of her. She was so much stronger than Arsenio. And to fire Lisa because she cried in the boardroom? If he wanted to fire her because she yelled at Dayana that would have been acceptable to me. But to me the 2 women were the strongest players this season. I really hope that Clay wins. And to pick Aubrey last? And to pick Adam first?

I missed the Gilligan part of the story.

I read this after they were rescued, how passengers on the cruise ship kept trying to get the ship to go back for the men-very sad.

I'm guessing you did not see the movie?

I just loved the Hunger Games. I am a huge fan of dystopia. So the premise didn't really freak me out or surprise me. But I could see how it could be upsetting/depressing if you are new to the genre.

No, Richard and I both wanted to read the book before seeing the movie.

This is not my first post-apocalyptic novel. MALEVIL and THE GIFT UPON THE SHORE were also dystopian, but I found the establishment's lack of value for children especially disturbing in this one.

In happier news, we had a huge family gathering yesterday and the house again proved that it can handle large swarms of people quite easily. The weather was about as perfect as you could have hoped for. It's actually going to be hot here today (90).

Just a rehearsal for the two weddings that will be happening someday.

Those had better be on the brides' families' dime. I already paid for two stinkin' Bar Mitzvahs. ;)

So did we plus a small wedding.

Office vibes for DR ELMORE.

Thank you, DR JRand61! Every time I think we're over the hurdle, something else jumps up and bites my ass over this office situation. I am so tired of being stressed by everything I do; I love what I do, but I'm not going to continue to love it if it stresses me out or kills me!

Quote
I read spoilers a couple weeks ago. I was very happy to watch Lisa Lampinelli go home and will be happy when the next one goes home too. I don't really think the final two are the strongest players, but it will be fun to watch them do the final challenge

I was happy with one of the finalists. Have really enjoyed Clay this season. I do not at all think that Arsenio should be in the finals. I just don't get it at all. I understand if Trump does not want Aubrey to be his apprentice. But to say she is simply too young ... that was not a reason to me to get rid of her. She was so much stronger than Arsenio. And to fire Lisa because she cried in the boardroom? If he wanted to fire her because she yelled at Dayana that would have been acceptable to me. But to me the 2 women were the strongest players this season. I really hope that Clay wins. And to pick Aubrey last? And to pick Adam first?

Neither Aubrey nor Lisa have the right temperment to be the apprentice. I think that's the real reason they are gone. I like Arsenio's style. Sometimes the best leader is the one who delegates to the people who can do the best job and doesn't micro-manage what they are doing. I think that's more his style. I like Clay, but he's a little too wound up for me.

I wish he had just said if he didn't think they had the right temperments. At least that i could have respected. I don't mind Arsenio's management style in this final task. It is sort of neat that he doesn't micro-manage. But I just feel that he didn't do enough leading up to the finale.

He totally went ballistic on Aubrey, which was pretty bad. And he also often didn't seem like he was giving 100%. He wasn't creative, didn't offer opinions. At least people like Penn, Lisa, Clay ... they are always super involved in every task. I just felt like some of the time Arsenio would just sit there and not offer much.

I brought my bike to one of my mom's friend's husbands today. He tightened my brakes for me. Anyhow his wife is a big DWTS fan and she wanted me to tell her who was going home this week.

I told her that they hadn't even danced yet. I think a lot depends on the choreography, and how their dances go over with the judges and audience. No way to predict yet.

Jadie's 3rd birthday is on Thursday (but she doesn't really understand the concept of time).

So she wakes up today and says to my sister, "Happy Mother's Day!". My sister tells her that it isn't Mother's Day (that was yesterday).

So my niece says all happy, "does that mean I'm three then?" :)
