Maybe it's just me, but nothing says Merry Christmas quite like Ethel Merman braying, "What's the matter, Imogene? You look like an idiot!"

Maybe that's why this clip is just so special.

Seven!

I have to say it's been awful not to have someone who can come in and give Callie her meds.  If it wasnt' for that it would be pretty easy to have someone check in on them.

[TCB]

Well, my work here is done (and my laptop is slow).





G'night!

[Cillaliz]

Tonight Callie started playing  "catch me if you can" at medicine time.  I didn't want to play so I ignored her.  Then I couldn't find her anywhere (Catch me often turns into hide and seek).  When I finally found her, she had crawled into a box behind the futon upstairs.  I had set a small lamp shade on it.  She apparently squeezed under it because it was sitting on her head, lol.  I didn't take a photo, but I really should have it was hilarious

[Cillaliz]

Yes, time for me to get some sleep too.  Night

[John G.]

Night, all.

Glad to hear the show went well for the East Coast Singer.  This was a completely frustrating thing for me and I'm still irritated about it.  Five-year-olds can Face Time but nobody at the Signature Theater could figure it out.  Unbelievable.  So, I never saw any run-throughs or anything.  So, that's not exactly directing - I suppose what I did was create the act - the show order, the patter, and I gave her private direction on the phone.  But in terms of staging, I gave her all her entrances and exits, and I told the group people how to get on and off - the choreography was by a friend of hers.  She knows this kind of thing will never ever happen again.

Susan Seaforth was not at the show - she had another engagement.

I HATE THIS DAMN iTUNES UPDATE.  I can't figure out anything.  It was so simple before.  You made a playlist and dragged songs into it.  Now the playlist doesn't show up on the left as before, and when you click on "playlists" you get them but you no longer see your songs, so how you get the songs into your playlists is beyond me.  I'm calling Apple tomorrow and will have them talk me through going back to the previous version until they get their SHIT together.

Didn't someone post a link that explains how this new iTunes version works?

One of the nicer benefits that the company provides is a service called My Helper. You can pay someone on staff $5 an hour to do what you need to get done but can't because of work. It could be buying Christmas presents for everyone on your list, standing in line for concert tickets, dropping off or picking up dry cleaning, you name it. Sounds strange, but it's apparently very popular. One of the better uses is if you're home sick and you need someone to bring you a prescription or food or whatever.

WOW!  Can I work there too?

I tell you, it's really nice. Plus, there's an on-site pharmacy where you can get all your family's prescriptions filled, two post offices where you can mail packages as well as buy stamps. And one of the five Starbucks is actually the No. 1 store in the chain in terms of sales.

Dang, are you working for Microsoft?

No. USAA.

The insurance people?

I think I may have found a new cat sitter!!  I emailed the local humane society last night and said I needed an in home cat sitter and asked from recommendations.   Tonight a woman called me.  She does exactly the same thing as my former cat sitter, but not as a full time job.  She's actually a nurse.  She only lives about 5 blocks from me.  She even charges the same amount that Sharon did.   I'm checking her references, one person I don't really know at the Humane Society and a good friend who has a wildlife rescue.  She isn't always available, but this could be a life saver.

congratulations

[vixmom]

Well its tomorrow  so good night all!

I figured out how to get the sidebar back with my playlists so that's good.

HA!  That's the first thing I looked for after the update.  There was no way I was going to exist without the sidebars!

[Matthew]

I'm home.  The show is coming along nicely. It will be in great shape soon.

DR George I also watched this week's GLEE yesterday.

What do you (or anyone else who watches) think of how they are using the kids who graduated? I like what they did for Finn. And I think Rachel and Kurt are working out well.  The parts seem much smaller for many of the others who were so prominent before (like Quinn and Santana and Puck).

I like Kurt and Rachel's storyline to a certain extent and it's nice to bring the others back every once in a while, but it's a high school.  I think that any show that is set in a high school needs to bite the bullet and let the seniors graduate and go out into the world.  Don't try to make up reasons why the popular characters (really, the actors) are still on the show.

[George]

This will NOT do.  It should not be like pulling teeth to have our usual number of postings.  Where in tarnation is Jane?  ChasSmith?  George? DougR? And more.  Let's get some posting goin' on or there will most assuredly be hell toupee.

Today was a very busy day at work.  I was working on annual evaluations for my staff (they were due last Friday ).  My supervisor said that she was behind on what she had to do for the evaluations so I didn't feel so bad about being late with mine.  Anyway, I still have a couple to do, but I should be able to get them done tomorrow.  It's all on-line. 

[George]

The worst thing is is that ALL evaluations are supposed to be done at the end of the year.  This was changed a few years ago.  They used to be done on each employee's annual hire date...which made a lot more sense AND spread them out throughout the year.  It's very inconvenient to have to schedule time to do my own self-evaluation and then do my staff's five evaluations, all within a very short time.

[George]

Gratuitous Post #200!

[George]

Sherlock has his own Christmas card.  I guess at this point it won't be available until next year.  I'm not sure.

That's beautiful, Jane!  Congratulations!

[George]

So I met Sandy after the show--she was so nice. I told her I was on Bruce's website and that I would be reporting what  a great job she did. I also mentioned that the people on the site love the CD.  

That's wonderful, Kevin!

I think the tide is turning on this  head/throat/chest thing
