Post by: George on November 17, 2018, 12:52:20 AM: Since we're allowed to work more than 40 hours so that we can get a paycheck on December 31, I don't have to worry about getting permission before working more than my regular hours this week.
Title: Re: OPENING NIGHT
Post by: George on November 17, 2018, 12:54:18 AM: And since the invoicing and report MUST be done and done before Monday, I must do them, so I shall.

I turned it off of course, and am using the fireplace and my space heaters to keep us warm.....

It does not take three days to get from Burbank to North Hollywood. Something is seriously awry here and I cannot deal with this anymore. This tardiness has caused incredible strife and is now about to blow up.

Post by: George on November 17, 2018, 11:27:48 PM: When I get the monthly bill, each page of it actually has separate invoices for three to four individual purchases, so it's not really as long as it might seem.

It doesn’t matter, if her entrance is from backstage she is out in the lobby; if she is supposed to enter from the lobby, she is upstairs in the dressing room.

Well, sometimes they need to make an exception! I've been in shows where some people didn't get mics and some did because they needed them, and because the director felt that it was necessary. How obvious is that??
