Thanks, DRs Vixmom and Jane!  And the best part - all of those events, except for the meals and haircut, were FREE!

My friend Heller has never got back to me about this email mess.  Tomorrow morning I am seeing my ophthalmologist on 22nd Street.  I may walk over to Mike's Tech Shop on 20th Street and talk to them.  I really do not want to schlep the computer down there, but I may have no choice if they won't come to me.

DR Elmore, one word:  G-mail.

Not my idea of a way to spend a Sunday.

Do you get more work done going in on a Sunday?

The work I had to do stemmed from something that came up after 4 p.m. Friday and relates to a meeting taking place at 10 a.m. tomorrow. If the change outlined goes into effect as is, I'm quite possibly screwed in my ability to do my job effectively. My supervisor needed us to get ideas to her as to how to deal with this and so we would be able to present a united front, as several of my co-workers could face the same. Since my area right now outperforms their two areas combined (I also have Krista's workload for the next five months), it would have less effect on them, but would still have a negative impact. It would also really have a hard impact on our writers.

It did help that nobody was in the office today and that the free Starbucks machine was working.

Who do you think you are?  Vixmom in a former life?

;D

I can add a smiley face to that. In the seven years I've been at USAA, it's only the second time I've had to work on a weekend. The toher was an emergency and was understandable.

Friday Richard and I went to a noontime concert at our former church - Nancy James' tribute to Rosemary Clooney - and to lunch at a new downtown restaurant called the Swire Inn.  We'd heard good things about it and will definitely go back.

Sounds wonderful. Bet the music was great.

Since we could bring guests along, I brought my friend Gail, who really enjoyed the movie. I did, too, but perhaps not quite as much.

It reminded me of a Garry Marshall movie but without his memorable flourishes. And maybe just a tad too much conspicuous consumption.

I did love the music, however. From the quickstep during the opening to crazy Asian versions of things like Like a Virgin, I found the music lively and fun.

Back from a really great Kritzerland show - more in the notes.  I am EXHAUSTED.  And at the moment I barely have any voice left, but I'm not talking until Tuesday so hopefully all will be well by then.

Well, my day started  (after getting up and getting ready and leaving my house) with my first rehearsal at 9:00 for Bunbury.

The morning rehearsal was more adding of tracks (images and audio) to the sound board program, and making sure that they work.  We only got through the first act before we had to start the cue-to-cue with the actors.

We got through the first and I adjusted things as we went through it.  The second act had most of the audio tracks, but not all of the images.

By the time I had to leave to go to my union meeting at 12:45, we had started into the second act and Marko, the director's husband and co-sound designer with pug the director, took over for me until I got back.  I was only gone about an hour and a half.
