Rehearsals Going Well
Had rehearsal tonight for Arsenic & Old Lace. Things are going well, even if I sometimes get grumpy with Mike, the director. Tonight there was an uneasy silence after I snapped back - to which I later apologized.
Tonight I went from work to The Theatrical Shop to buy a pair of “Prince Nez” glasses, which were awfully cheap, both in price and construction. Ie: They won’t work. I then went straight to the theater and got home at around 9pm, causing me to have to listen to the cat yell at me for not feeding her promptly at 5:30 like usual.
I then answered a little email, thought about working on the podcast, but went to bed. It was a hard day at work, and not just because it was the first day everybody was back from vacation. People are still rude and nasty when they call in, usually because it is their own lack of knowledge that causes their problems.
Like one who called in because her shopping cart admin wouldn’t work. After trouble shooting for about 15 minutes, I mentioned something about cookies and she says “Oh, I DID change my secrurity from low to high.”
::thud::
“Yeah, that will probably do it.” Put it back to medium and all was right with the world.
But of course, it’s still our fault.

Unfortunately, since the latest windows exploit has come down the line, and since MS is not releasing the patch until next tuesday, you may see a bit more of this. IE security settings have to be set at highest to block the wmf exploit, so she may have gotten advice to do up the security to prevent the problem, which ended up causing the problem with the shopping cart. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/03/wmf_workaround/
But yeah, people should be nice about asking for help. It doesn’t help anyone when people are rude.
