DR John do you have a stool to sit on if you get tired of standing?

John G. · « **Reply #62 on:** May 10, 2016, 01:47:32 PM »

At my current desk, I can just lower it.

Glad to see some Cole Porter on the 2017 Encores season, which includes The New Yorkers, Big River and The Golden Apple. Hope the New Yorkers' score gets a recording.

Back from something called a Mexican bowl for lunch and shall shortly be on my way to gather up Lanny and go to LACC to hopefully work some light cues and projections prior to our dress rehearsal.

This afternoon at City Center was one weird event. The rehearsal went well, but for reasons I cannot print here, I felt I was as welcome as a case of crab or herpes. I've never felt that before, but today I felt the old boys' club was deliberately shutting me out. I also realized that a person I once considered a friend is someone I really do not like much at all.

On the positive side, I think the production will be a fine one. the cast is very good, the score is good, the orchestra is excellent, although the script is not my cup of tea and i really don't like the characters much at all.

It was also good to see my friend Bruce Pomahac.

I'm sorry you felt that way, Elmore. I hate it when that happens to me.

It was weird, and I hate it when I feel looked down or deliberately snubbed by people who know less about something than I do. Sometimes my opinions might be beneficial.

And in another case of my not being able to tell what I know, the recording is finally being released!

Strange day at work. Odds and ends.

Nothing constructive, nothing destructive.

Just blah.

Were you involved with the recording ... or the music that was recorded?

I worked on both the Encores! production and the recording.

I went to Amazon to add this to my wishlist, and in the saved for later section in my cart was the supposed DVD for "Lucky Stiff." It's been "not yet available" since last year...but now it has an actual release date! June 21, 2016! It's only been available as a digital download (which I was literally just about to buy with my Amazon $50 birthday gift card), but now the physical DVD is FINALLY going to be released! I've read that it's not great...it only has a 40% critics rating on rottentomatoes, but I don't care. I want this.

Will it be the same or did you ask for a different style for your new desk?

Yesterday & today I couldn't sign into my library account because my PIN was changed without telling me. It wasn't just me, they changed the way the numbers for everyone.

Jane · « **Reply #77 on:** May 10, 2016, 04:15:26 PM »

After talking to the library & finding out why I couldn't sign in, and what the new numbers were, I went back online and changed the numbers to something easier for me.

Jane · « **Reply #78 on:** May 10, 2016, 04:15:48 PM »

I then tried to sign in to find out if the new PINs work only to find that I can't even get the far in the process. Every time I click on "sign in" it eventually times out.

Yikes!

George · « **Reply #80 on:** May 10, 2016, 04:21:36 PM »

Do you have an "I forgot my PIN" link?

Jane · « **Reply #81 on:** May 10, 2016, 05:16:04 PM »

Yes, though if it didn't change I know the old one, that they gave me and should be able to use it. I can't get that far. I hope it is a temporary problem, though it seems to have lasted all afternoon.

Jane · « **Reply #82 on:** May 10, 2016, 05:17:38 PM »

Really odd is that I can go to MyeBook Library website and do all sorts of things, just not open the "sign in" page.

Back from my bike ride. Will shower and head south to San Jose (good thing I know the way) to see the National Tour of Newsies -- I really have no interest, but it's part of my season and I might as well find out what's up with this craze.
