all those ‘say no to drugs’ assemblies in school where WACK i never once had the pot head kids push the Devils Lettuce on me. they’d be like ‘hey u wanna smoke some of this here Blunt of Marajoouana?’ and i’d be like ‘no thanks i dont smoke’ and they’d be like ‘ok cool’ and never bother me about it again
drinkers? NO CHILL AT ALL. even into adulthood people act like i’ve slain their child when i say i am completely sober. like every single time i’ve said no to drinking some person is like ‘what about jello shots there’s barely any in it’ or they’ll leave me a solo cup of wine ‘in case you change your mind’ and when by the end of the night i haven’t had it they’re all ‘you didn’t want any?’ LIKE? YAH I SAID I DIDNT?
anti drug psa’s are fine but they gotta talk about drinking too bc never once did anyone i know who did drugs push me to do it too but everyone i tell i am sober tries to find a way to get me to drink like i said ‘i am sober but change my mind’ or smth
*the girl who once told me my job was worthless and clapped in my face to get my attention*
Her: “I’ve never been mean to stage crew!”
Me: …
I’m sorry. She mother fucking WHAT!
SHE FUCKING WHAT!?!?
OH BOY HAVE I A STORY FOR YOU. For this show I was SM’ing, I was doing blocking and calling cues and helping with costumes and makeup and helping with set construction, because my crew is a little short staffed. This actor tried to take over makeup and oh BOY that went so terribly, but that’s a story for another time. But that same day I was working on fixing this set piece and I know she DAMN WELL KNOWS my name, we’ve been in the same production about 5 times now. But she snaps right in my face and yells “HEY STAGE CREW” then goes on to rant about how something else is broken. THE NEXT DAY: she approaches me for conversation, just casually asks how I am. I tell her I’m super tired since I’m pulling wayyyy more hours than anyone else because I’m doing sets, SMing, and helping with costumes and other stuff. She proceeds to say “Whatever, your job isn’t even hard. You just sit and tell people when to press a button, you’re basically just super lazy. If you just disappeared the show would be fine without you. Most of stage crew doesn’t do anything. The actors could do stage crews job and be in the show.” I was infuriated. But as it is my job to be calm and collected and work stuff out, I just said “okay” and walked away. The reason this especially bugged me is because in this show we had 250 or so light cues, 80 sound cues, 30 or so fly cues, 50 mic changes, and we had 2 snow makers and 2 fog machines. The set changes were also INSANE. There was a lot of other stuff we did that show but I’m not gonna bother to list it all, but it’s the most tech heavy show I’ve ever worked (well, second most tech heavy show). Unfortunately, I found out this same girl got callbacks for the lead for the next show I’m working. She was hard enough to deal with when she was ensemble and was only there for half of the rehearsals. So, guess I’ll die?
TELL THE PEOPLE HIRING ABOUT THIS.
REPORT. HER. ASS.
You can do something about someone with this kind of attitude and it’s called telling the hiring people so they don’t get to work at that company again.
I found these at the Art Institute gift shop today and the 1920s Bright Young Thing aesthetic is so overwhelmingly powerful that if they weren’t $30 each (THIRTY GREEN AMERICAN DOLLARS, JESUS CHRIST) I would have bought one.
I don’t have a signature cocktail but I’m thinking of concocting one and creating my own kit just so I have the pleasure of an elegant aperitif when I fly to Boston in August. I bet I could fit a fancy swizzle stick and a packet of Simply Orange into an Altoids tin with which to make a Screwdriver.
I’m so glad I could provide you a term! But I think you should know it wasn’t my coinage – it comes from the tabloid press of the era, though I got it myself from Murder Must Advertise by Dorothy Sayers.
While it does not per se contain LESS death than Gatsby, MMA it is a significantly more entertaining read, so I strongly recommend it. It was the first Dorothy Sayers novel I ever read, and is a pretty good introduction to Lord Peter, her protagonist, as long as you’re willing to stick it out for a few chapters.
So the last time I reblogged this, someone reblogged from me with a comment along the lines of “wait till you see them with swords”. So I went to search it up, and… guys. GUYS.
There are actual sparks flying holy shit =O
Woah. (Stick with the second video all the way through the end!)
Under the new rules, homes that are not occupied for at least six months of the year are subject to a tax of one per cent of the property’s assessed value. The deadline to rent out empty dwellings was July 1.
Fazli said many of the people he has talked to are thinking of renting or selling their properties. He recently met with a woman who owns three empty properties in Vancouver — and says one of them is now listed for rent, another will be listed shortly and she is thinking of selling the third.
“This is a scenario of someone who is kind of in a panic now and needs to rent them out,” he said. […]
