I managed to buy, then lose an umbrella this weekend - it had not even been touched by rain! This is why I told the woman that a $10 one was wiser than the $40. It was left at a pub, I think, so I will consider it lost.
Good things: New Loubotin-esque shoes - black patent stacked heel Mary-Janes. Time with friends. Bad things: Walking ten floors down in said heels; sunglasses suddenly losing structural integrity as I was about to exit the subway.
One of those days where I so don't want to be here that it's not even funny. I mean, it's like it really wouldn't make a difference if I was or not. (This is not entirely true - there were a few credit issues - but other than that...) Even so, I am courageously sticking out the last ten or so minutes. I rule. :P
I really don't know how some days can be long and drawn-out-awful while some days can be speedy-quick and not horrific at all. It's a strange thing that seems to have no actual correlation to my mood or work. Very odd.
Producers came in today! AMAZING! They were here for all of like, two hours - but I guess that was something. There was some talk of their return after a big ol' meeting at our Public Broadcaster, but that lasted maybe ten minutes. The thing I really am astounded about is - this is their BUSINESS. They OWN it, as far as I'm aware. I would think people who own several shows and a production company might put a bit more effort into getting face-time with staff. But what do I know?
My old office is still being used by the writers - so I guess I sat in the Room for a bit? The proto-Room? I'm still afraid to talk to them - but they seem more or less the same way about us. I need to take initiative, but am lame.
I am not in the fucking credits for Show #1 - just bothered to check that today. Thanks, guys. I guess I would have to actually bother to catch Show #2 to see if I made it in there.
I maintain the credits, but I don't get one. Story of my life.

Have you asked if you can get a credit? Would you have a suggestion of what if they said yes? It doesn't hurt to ask, but they won't offer it if you don't.
Go make friends with the writers, they won't bite. Bring them treats, like cookies. If you feed them, they'll warm up. They're like small furry animals.
Now, onto something more important ... I have just learned that Sara Evans has ditched the rest of Dancing with the Stars due to her impending divorce! Holy Nashville!
What will they do, bring back Willa Ford? Am I the only sap watching this crap? I can't help myself.
---------------------------------
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Country singer Sara Evans has announced she is filing for divorce and quitting the "Dancing With the Stars" reality TV show competition.
Evans has filed for divorce from Craig Schelske in Williamson County, Tennessee, where she lives, according to a statement issued by Allen Brown, her representative at Sony BMG Music Entertainment.
"Recent events that shed light on the status of her marriage prompted Ms. Evans to make the filing," Brown said in the statement. He declined to elaborate.
The couple were married in 1993 and have three children.
Evans decided she needed to leave the TV show "to give her family her full attention at this difficult time," Brown said.
She was among 11 celebrities who paired with professional dancers to compete on the third season of the popular ABC reality series.
"Ms. Evans hopes that her fans and TV viewers who've supported her in recent weeks and throughout her music career will respect and understand her need for privacy in the face of these recent events," Brown said.
Evans, 35, was recently nominated for female vocalist of the year honours by the Country Music Association. The Missouri native made her recording debut in 1997 and her 2000 album "Born To Fly" went double-platinum.
Yeah, chat up the writers but try to let them do all the talking...makes em feel special.
Did someone nix your credit? Or was it an oversight? If the latter, stomp foot.
Caroline: Thanks for your posts, by the way - it's nice to know that someone's reading. I haven't asked, but I suppose I assumed when I noticed I was on the list for show #2 - my guess is it might be an oversight in the sense that my position didn't realy exist before. There are pluses and minuses to the lack of credit - but in the end, the web is a sideline in this case.
And I thought I would watch Dancing with the Stars - I usually do! But for some reason, I haven't made the time. Saw the Sara Evans thing on
OhNoTheyDidn't though - quelle scandelle.
wcdixon: Think it was the whole 'position didn't exist' thing - on the plus side, I am not associated with it 'officially'. ;)
Thanks to both on the care and feeding of writers tips - I'll see what I can do. They do seem as wary of us as we are of them. ;)
