There was also a section you could request if you were 65 or older which were in the lower tiers so you didn’t have to climb stairs

We were in the fully vaccinated section which was the majority of the available seating and that was quite full

Yiu were allowed to remove your masks when seated there

They updated the setting to modern day Harlem and the set was really beautifully done.

For the most part I quite enjoyed the show, but there were a few ‘creative touches” I didn’t care for.

vixmom · « **Reply #34 on:** August 16, 2021, 04:54:35 AM »

But every once in a while they would suddenly insert a line or joke in modern vernacular referencing the pandemic or lockdown and I found that jarring

vixmom · « **Reply #35 on:** August 16, 2021, 04:56:06 AM »

Mine appeared to be the minority viewpoint though as those lines were greeted with great enthusiasm by most of the rest of the audience

vixmom · « **Reply #36 on:** August 16, 2021, 04:56:47 AM »

But it was over all well acted, quite funny and visually stunning.

vixmom · « **Reply #37 on:** August 16, 2021, 04:56:55 AM »

And the price was right

After the show we retrieved the car and drive down to the East Village to grab something to eat since the vaccination card fiasco had trashed our dinner plans and we were starving

vixmom · « **Reply #39 on:** August 16, 2021, 05:00:46 AM »

But the place where we were planning to eat had curtailed their hours and we had some trouble finding an open restaurant at that hour

vixmom · « **Reply #40 on:** August 16, 2021, 05:01:13 AM »

He’s a vegan too, so that made it harder to find a place

vixmom · « **Reply #41 on:** August 16, 2021, 05:03:20 AM »

We finally ended up grabbing some stuff from an open deli then I dropped him at a subway stop and headed home

Friday I had a job interview

vixmom · « **Reply #43 on:** August 16, 2021, 05:05:06 AM »

The location was about 35 miles from home along a route that I knew would make for a miserable commute

Druxy · « **Reply #44 on:** August 16, 2021, 05:05:49 AM »

T.O.D.

I don't recall the last time I had fast food.

These days, I just eat what my wife gives me.

vixmom · « **Reply #45 on:** August 16, 2021, 05:06:04 AM »

But I was told by the job placement service that the position was remote/work from home and it sounded as if my skill set would match exactly

vixmom · « **Reply #46 on:** August 16, 2021, 05:06:45 AM »

I had a 1130 appointment time and gave myself an hour to get there

vixmom · « **Reply #47 on:** August 16, 2021, 05:07:40 AM »

It took me 45 minutes and it was a miserable 45…during “off peak” in beautiful weather

vixmom · « **Reply #48 on:** August 16, 2021, 05:08:25 AM »

Rush hour, rain, snow, tire changers would easily double that

vixmom · « **Reply #49 on:** August 16, 2021, 05:09:04 AM »

When I arrived I waited in my car until 5 minutes before my scheduled time and then headed in

vixmom · « **Reply #50 on:** August 16, 2021, 05:10:25 AM »

As I approached the receptionist she greeted me by name and said I was expected, and then she rang some I es extension to say “Debra’s here!”

vixmom · « **Reply #51 on:** August 16, 2021, 05:11:23 AM »

A man, about my age, came down the stairs to greet me and asked “how was the drive?”

vixmom · « **Reply #52 on:** August 16, 2021, 05:11:34 AM »

So I said not bad.

vixmom · « **Reply #53 on:** August 16, 2021, 05:11:59 AM »

“Oh good, so you’ll be okay with the commute?”

vixmom · « **Reply #54 on:** August 16, 2021, 05:12:50 AM »

So I said, um before we go any further, I was advised this was a remote/ work from home position

vixmom · « **Reply #55 on:** August 16, 2021, 05:13:00 AM »

Oh no, it’s here in the office

vixmom · « **Reply #56 on:** August 16, 2021, 05:14:36 AM »

Oh says I well I don’t want to waste your time, I’m afraid there was a miscommunication by the placement service, but I would not be interested in commuting every day

vixmom · « **Reply #57 on:** August 16, 2021, 05:15:01 AM »

No, wait, maybe we can work something out, please come in and let’s talk this out

vixmom · « **Reply #58 on:** August 16, 2021, 05:15:55 AM »

So he leaves me in a conference room and comes back with a woman and another man

vixmom · « **Reply #59 on:** August 16, 2021, 05:18:34 AM »

We all sit and I say to them, before we go any further please know I was advised this was a remote position and have just learned that was a mistake on the part of the job service.

if that is not possible I really don’t want to waste your time as I would not consider the daily commute
