So as you all know I'm off to London next Monday for a weeks vacation plus wedding.  So this week I've got to get the theatre newsletter designed and complete, which I have been able to do on my home computer.  That's the easy part, next is whether or not my friends and colleagues like the work I've done.  This always causes rather a lot of angst with myself because generally my colleagues are the ones that have given me most of the text, so they know pretty much what's going in it, but then always seem to have this look of complete gob smackedess when I show them the result. Almost as if they've NEVER EVER SEEN anything quite like it, and what should they do about this phenomenon?......I know what, lets panic like fucking idiots, change absolutely everything about it and run around the office going nuts when it doesn't go out the very next day........aaaaaarrrgh!!!
So after I patiently waited for my Time Warner man to come and replace my box, (oooh err) I made my way over to the theatre (pleasant walk in my flip flops).  Everything seemed fine, Munchkin  was flitting around the office like she does, looking stressed but also having fabulously neat and tidy painted nails...not the right impression sweetie for a rushed around mad woman.  Precious was also pretty chilled, even our Artistic Director looked jolly and even greeted me with a smile (which never happens) that was scary.  The one person though who is seems genuinely chilled most of the time (only see him twice) is our new managing director. That man is cool as a cucumber, he moves silently like a predator from one room to another so quietly you never hear him, you just look up and he's there......I must admit to being pretty impressed with this guy as he certainly doesn't seem to let much get to him.  Now on the other hand one person who loses it sooo easily is our lovely literary associate who can literally spend forty five minutes on a three line introduction, give me strength the woman needs to shake her ass.  And last but certainly not least our very own "External Affairs, Swat Team, Head of FBI Director" definitely gets herself in such a tiz that the baby she's expecting is going to coming shooting out like a bullet...believe me, it's gonna happen.
 

OK so my newsletter is looking much tidier than previous, and I think most of it will be ok, however when our friend Ty sees it, I'm sure she's going to want to change absolutely everything about it completely, just because she wasn't around to look over my shoulder as I was doing it.   Well you know what, they've got until late afternoon  tomorrow and then if there not happy then screw it... I'm outta here, Friday I've got too much on baby, no can do, comprende!!
Don't get me wrong I'm not whining, far from it, I like doing it, but at the end of the day our newsletter is a small affair that's done in-house (apart from the printing), it just goes to our subscribers (given half the chance they moan about everything) with information about current and up-coming productions.  It should be a chill project but for some reason the others just go a bit loopy about it, so I just let them carry on with themselves and eventually decide (amongst themselves of course, they rarely consult me for my input) whether or not it's worthy to go to President Clinton, if so, it goes...............

So as you can see from the above 3 paragraphs, it was some day back at the theatre.

I then had to go to Victoria Secret to buy a halter neck bra to go with my fabulous Donna Karen top that I'm wearing to my friends wedding.   Unfortunately for me I got the dumbest woman in the place to help me.  I even took my top with me to aid them in their search for the perfect lingerie item.  Firstly she had to go to her superior to ask what sort of bra I should have... HHHEELLLOO, I don't work in underwear shops but I'm sure even I would know what to suggest.... halter-neck in skin color OR strapless in skin color... don't you agree?  Ok so firstly she shows me this bra which is skin colored...correct, however it doesn't have halter neck straps, just normal ones....WHICH ARE NO GOOD WITH A HALTER NECK TOP, you fuckwit!!

Eventually she informed me that basically amongst the thousands upon thousands of lingerie items in the store, they didn't have the size or color of the ones that I wanted..... USELESS, GOODBYE.

So now I'm stuck.... will have to go to Macy's which I hate to do, but my girlfriend in England wants some Calvin Klein underwear from there anyway, so I may as well go... baaa humbug!!

So Candy and her young Caprio are coming over this evening by 7:30pm to watch "Survivor" with me and Morpheus.  All I can say is that they'd better be here on time, we'd better order food at least 10 mins before "Survivor" starts as I DO NOT want to be dishing out food after it's begun.  Aren't I just the great hostess, listen I only got in at 6:15pm, I've been answering emails and doing this page since, so I'm certainly not going out now at nearly 7pm to start making dinner for everyone here..... not a chance my friends!!

Also the phone is being unplugged AFTER we've ordered our Chinese.......

OK I'm off... later
