Good morning, all.

Monday morning greetings! I have a little time before heading around the corner to my breakfast meeting. From there I will head to Moscone to finish the exhibits and attend one last session.

DR Jane, yes, I did get your reply text yesterday. Your phone seems to work fine

Force her to write "theatre is a collaboration" on the blackboard a thousand times.

I remember when DR Elmore and I were doing theatre together someone on the set crew had painted the stage floor and then complained about the actors coming in and scuffing it up. I wanted to point out that, without the actors, there would have been no need for the floor in the first place.

I'm up, I'm up - I'll go add a topic of the day. I was really trying to get to sleep, I guess.

57%. Puuuuuush. I guess our miracle wealthy benefactors are going to keep the suspense level high and come in during the last few minutes. At least that's the hope.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #37 on:** June 29, 2015, 10:08:05 AM »

Suspense.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #38 on:** June 29, 2015, 10:08:36 AM »

I am hoping this is the last day I have to carry stuff to the theatre.

Of course I have to carry most of it home afterwards.....but that's easier!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #39 on:** June 29, 2015, 10:09:01 AM »

I am going early so that I can get everything set up....and then wait for the questions.

Good.

I wish we knew what time the movers are arriving. The fact we haven't heard from them makes us nervous.

Jane · « **Reply #42 on:** June 29, 2015, 10:17:36 AM »

The head cleaner arrived today having a diabetic problem. We went to the market and got her electrolyte water. She was resting in a dark room while the other two people work. I hope she will be OK and that the other 2 can complete the work.

I gotta tell you.

DR JRand64, what happened to the theatrical rule of stage managers being subordinate to the director? I have three words of advice: Fire. The. Bitch.

Yeah, I don't get this at all. Can't even imagine someone doing that. That's as much a top level decision as anything, isn't it?

Not to mention, that "wood" floor was beautiful.

Yes. It was very nicely done. Who is this ugly woman Linda? I want her dead.

Don't hold back, Larry...tell us how you REALLY feel.

Linda helped fight off the Indians when they laid the cornerstone of the theatre.....she is 70 and has been here longer than anyone else....I came in 1979.

Very passive aggressive. She makes all kinds of lists and tells people all of the things they are doing wrong and is certain she is the only one who does any work. You just get used to some things over the decades.

It does no good to say anything or try to talk with her, so I just move on. But all of the feelings expressed here on HHW about the situation, I have expressed myself to her.....water off a duck's back.

So, we move on. Not one person can understand her thinking in re-painting the floor....and it is TOO time consuming to do over....

But if you know me - and you do - you know that haf my vays to recompense those who cwoss me.....it vill be vonderful.

Well, that's good to know.

Home from Columbia. I have a Fed Ex package to prepare for Wednesday pickup, and some notes to write up on my morning in the Moross collection.

DR JRand64, this 70 year-old bitch days it's time for that 70 year-old bitch to be retired or put down.

I am cleaning the muck out of the bottom of the pond. Such nice work on a warm Arizona June day.

Still 57% but inching up all morning, in terms of donations. I never really understand when exactly the percentage changes.

Where's Dino when we need him?

Hello, everyone.

Jeanne · « **Reply #54 on:** June 29, 2015, 12:03:59 PM »

We were told a few days ago that the plumber will be here today and the water will be turned off from 10 to 2. Since I usually do laundry on Monday mornings (little competition for our one washer and one dryer), I had to revise Monday and half of Tuesday. I did so, was up early--woke up at 6:15 probably because I knew I couldn't oversleep--and was ready at 10 am for the water turn-off. I went downstairs to take out the trash, and found a note on my door saying that the plumber will be here tomorrow instead. Ugh. At least I can get my laundry done.

Jeanne · « **Reply #55 on:** June 29, 2015, 12:06:58 PM »

In the past, neither the plumber nor manager has bothered to inform us of water shut-offs. One day I was in the midst of washing my hair when there was suddenly no water. At least we were informed this time.

I kind of envy her thick skin. Must make live easier. But I'm a bit surprised she's made it to 70 without someone throttling her. Of course, some may have tried. "Ugh, ugh, her skin's too thick! She's a rhinoceros!"

Jeanne · « **Reply #57 on:** June 29, 2015, 12:12:08 PM »

Hoping that JRand can share one or two stories of his recompense in action at some point.

58%! I believe in miracles.

Very good, Bruce. Lots of recent activity.
