skeleton shirts

 this was night one of the minnesota fringe festival, and for me that meant a shift of ushering. i didn't do much although i am ready to do what was necessary. the main thing i did was collect tokens from the patrons, there was twenty-six. the show that was onstage when i arrived was kind of loud, and near the end we saw some performers go into the lobby where i was and the three were wearing skeleton shirts. i recognized a patron when people were leaving the venue and said i would do my best to see his show in uptown. the show onstage after it where i was taking tokens had comics in it, one that i heard onstage and the other went through the lobby to get to the stage when arriving at the venue. the other usher went to see the show. then shortly after it began the house manager said i was free to go. it meant leaving behind the little flashlight i was given to find seats for late arrivals. i have two more shifts scheduled for two days from now. before i made it to the venue i stopped at two nearby venues and picked up show cards. it is good that i read the emails that the festival sends us as i heard about a show serving as a last-minute replacement, a flamenco show. if i have five credits then i will likely be attending it. at work the boss was in the 'other room' of the check shop doing meetings for the first half of the day, then not long after returning from lunch left for the day. vacation replacement was there in the morning as well, and it looks like figured out how to get the payroll configuration added to the inserter machine. there was the dial-in meeting close to midday and i found out my move downtown is not happening right away. i am told that due to getting budgets approved, along with demolition and rebuilding, it will likely be the end of september. not a big deal to me, business as usual until then. i did let all stake-holders know once i did, such as the tax specialist, whose checks are put in a lockbox for courier pickup. late in the evening i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 4 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when raj was sleeping with bernadette's colleague and was spying for bernie. it was followed by the one where the dudes talk to girls in school about getting into science while the ladies dressed up like disney characters and went to disneyland.
