As was pointed out to me by Eden (Erik's sis), The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie is out in 42 days!

Quick update, as I only have half an hour in which to cram about an hour's worth of work...

Finally got my full cast last night! We've been missing one male actor for forever. We go up on the 31st. My girls are almost off book already (except for a few wacky places but we've only had like half a real rehearsal with the full cast) and they are so freakin funny, it is difficult to direct when I'm too busy laughing. Need to make sure to focus tonight and get them fully blocked.

So all of you have to come see it. Get info at www.hollywoodfightclub.com

Work has been hella stressful lately, high pressure projects happening.

I've discovered a pet peeve, maybe even two. *gasp* It seems very common in this group that I've noticed moreso than others. People have a big habit of saying "You need to do this..." instead of "Can you please do this" or "When you can do this..." and the "You need to do this"'s aren't even from managers but mostly other helpdesk people. They do it to each other and they do it to me. Since when did people forget to ask forst or ask nicely? I understand that this is a fast paced gig, but seriously, things are a lot happier when you don't just tell someone "You need to do this" without first seeing whether they can, or whether they even know how, like us newbies.

The second pet peeve is when people bring up someone's name, or give me half an issue and expect me to fill in the blanks. When I maybe talk to 50 people in a day, telling me "so that thing with so-and-so, what's up with that?" doesn't narrow it down. Also, often people assume that I've read and fully digested the email I got 30 seconds ago, and start rattling off things in regards to them, and then seem annoyed when they get the blank "I have no idea what you're talking about" look.

*sigh*

Spent too long on this. More later. :)
