And the word of the day is: TITULAR!

Can you say that on a family site?

He just did!  And it's BK's site, so he can say (post) whatever the heck he wants!

[George]

Oh, look!  It's Page Four!!

[TCB]

We interrupt our regular posting for this special bulletin!

[TCB]

I got the role!

I got the role!

Fantastic news!

[bk]

They're checking to see why it's happening.

[bk]

Yay.

[bk]

Up again.  Have no idea how much sleep I actually got.

The bird is not happy that I am in an online meeting and he’s in his cage.

Is he usually out of his cage when you are home?

Not when I’m working.

[John G.]

I got the role!

I hope you enjoy it. And congratulations.

Vixmom, I like sausage and ground beef with some onion, bell pepper, mushrooms and garlic in my stuffed peppers. No filler. No starches. Must be red bell peppers. Green are too raw, too indigestible.

My memory is that my mom has only used green peppers.  I can vaguely remember maybe one time where she used green, red and yellow, but mostly she uses just green bell peppers.

That is the standard, and I have rarely seen it otherwise, but the flavor difference is distracting, IMO.

Congrats to DR TCB on his roll - now all you need is the butter....

DR ELMORE the candle is burning.

As the first sign of the Chinese Zodiac, the Rat arrives with the promise of new experiences and favorable outcomes for new ventures. Paired with the metal element, it is also linked with success and fast productivity, so it really is a win-win year!

YAY!

Otherwise he is out of his cage/  What about if you have company over?  I would think only for certain people.

I hope this doesn't apply to TCB's post about having gotten the role!

This blogger/reviewer makes me giggle, but a good review is a good review    http://atthetheatrewithradomirluza.com/blog/

The reviewer needs to get out of his/her own way. The praise may sell seats, provided the reader makes it past the first paragraph. Horrible writing, but lots of praise is indeed a good thing.

I called our Ohio realtor yesterday.  He says our property is one of three a buyer is considering.

Vibes for a sale!

I don’t have people over any more, if I can help it. But yes, he’s in his cage if they’re there. He becomes my protector if others are there. And that can be problematic.

A few minutes later she called me back.  She went and checked her email again, and there was a note telling her she had not been cast.  Whatever happened to the director calling up every person not cast and thanking them for auditioning.  Whenever I have directed a play, I have made it a point to have my Assistant manager called every person.

It is the polite thing to do in business as well, however, it doesn't always happen.

I've never heard of this happening in business. A letter, yes, but that doesn't always happen, either.  When I used to put an ad in the Washington Post I'd receive at least 300 resumes for a single position. At least one-third would be unqualified. Then we'd have to whittle it down to determine which candidates we'd invite for interviews. It wasn't an easy task. I don't like to leave people hanging, but I didn't have the staff to even send rejection letters.

LOL, I noticed the timing.

I felt the heart in the review.

That is a problem.  I was think more about guest leaving doors open or doing other dangerous things.

I'll never forget the woman who called me, DEMANDING to know why she wasn't hired. I tried to stay calm and explained to her that we had three well-qualified candidates and she was one of them, but only one opening. She seemed to accept that. But when I got off the phone I was soooooo glad we hadn't chosen her! She was so presumptuous! As if she knew what we needed based on a few words in an ad! It's so much more complicated than that! We needed someone who would get along with the rest of the group, for one thing. And the corporate culture. She wouldn't have worked out at all. It wasn't just me who wouldn't be able to abide her--my bosses wouldn't have, either.

[Jeanne]

I used to have a friend who was a career counselor. She was quite good at it in some ways. But she'd sometimes advise people to do things that were quite inappropriate, IMO. My friend had never worked in the corporate world and simply didn't understand how it worked. For instance, I think she might have suggested to someone that they call and ask why they weren't hired. (Not calling to ask if the position had been filled.)

As I write this, I’m sitting at a table with a tablecloth showing birds outside of their cage. There’s a lock to J.B.’s cage. Guests are warned to proceed at their own risk.
