  1. I worked for family businesses or for small businesses in which families worked together with others. I don't understand why that is a problem. Except for large organizations, I would assume it is the norm. Some did good work, and some did no work (and I don't think anyone officially complained). However, the family signed the paycheck, and the work assigned to the outsider was expected to be done by the outsider. Now, POB is complaining of bullying. I have never not encountered bullying in any endeavor in my life. It is not illegal. (Ironically, Aurelie complained of it, and was criticized for it. Now, everyone says she is creating such an atmosphere).
  2. NYCB. Although I always see the Russians when I can.
  3. I read a European turned principal left Boston after a couple of years to freelance and had cancer. I wonder how she pays for anything. Masha's abt swan mystified. I felt like i was watching a gymnast who didn't know what to do with her arms. Her legs were fine. But she was executing steps.
  4. Can someone explain freelancing realistically? Because I have read of Guillem and know of Bolle ( yet he is also an etoile and principal), but I also read of names hardly known who host a gala or two . In my head , that is called unemployment.

    Tan and Masha are not comparable in style. So they expect anything?
  6. If you assume women don't discriminate or Allred wasn't part of a play
  7. Hughes and the sleeping victim blamed the victim. Such a great joke. Also, Gloria Alfred's clients' parade of recantation has begun,as predicted. I'm sure. Take ten steps back.
  8. So which one was on YouTube for months? I would've more interested in riabko who can subtly bring one to tears than nboc's alleged heartthrob (sorry)
  9. What kind of catharsis or enlightenment occurs from Pretty in Pink or Breakfast Club? What definitions were required or omitted? What benefit is there to gang rape or drugged date rape, even as art?
  10. I should add that I have suffered severely at the hands of some specific folk in power in that country and still lack comprehension of why their children (or those who caused no harm or helped the oppressed) should suffer. That does not mean I don't support ending suffering of the oppressed.
  11. Does history deny oppression/repression and require "rewriting"? I heard learned/read about tragedy, suffering and oppression my whole life. And I have read of hero/ines and martyrs, too. The article is so poorly written in its attempt to hide some of what it is trying state and ignore other important points. Sure, the slave scene with the Pashas has always disgusted (I have never understood why "Corsaire" is described as a romp or fun). MacMillan, a male cited in the article without mentioning "Manon", acknowledges and describes our suffering (although vulgarly, perhaps he argues, with prurient intent). Many of the women (who don't like their roles, no matter what they are, and can't be satisfied), complain either way. Many of the male choreographers call "BS", in subtle ways, and say they act at the whim of such women. Is it only women who try to protect the innocent? Don't men have to hide from the ire of avengers (Willis) or manipulation of women for gain (many ballet characters fit the role), or are they just accusers (of Hermione)? Then again, is noble Albrecht the true victim of an oppressive society (forget about peasant Giselle's suffering) while Anna K is scorned by her oppressive society rightfully? But, ultimately, isn't this all said on pointe? Cassandra can't change anything in Martha's dance, on pointe or not, but wouldn't consequences ensue to others if she did? Well, no matter what is turned on its head, as described in the article, you know who will never get the short end of the stick, and who will.
  12. I wonder if that was that the strategy.
  13. My husband's work has 1 of the 2 (I believe) main hmos offered here. The ins would not preapprove or post-approve ER visits in such conditions (other than the operation). When abroad, I was told the ins did not cover. I spent a decade in the industry and routine claims were routinely denied in the first instance.
  14. AMEN TO THIS, AMEN, AMENNNNNNNNN! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ Well, the parade of recantation has started in Philadelphia, as expected. I feel badly for all assaulted/injured, and all falsely accused, and all who decide on absurd "solutions".
  15. At the risk of being offensively off-topic or offensively nonresponsive, I offer the following explanation of what I meant, which you said you did not comprehend, for editing if required: Me: I am suffering from immediate condition and work all week, such as (debilitating menstrual condition to end in a week but requiring pain killers, plague like flu needing immediate care, running out of medication for chronic illness, having a dog bite that requires a shot but no stitches, or other immediate need) Receptionist: I have an opening in 6 months Me: my condition requires immediate care and immediate medication, and won't exist in six months Receptionist: I have an appointment on Tuesday at 12 Me: I work and can't make it midday Receptionist: OK, Wednesday at 1 (ignoring point immediately above) Me: Same problem. You are open until 7pm (an early night for me but I'll risk leaving early). Receptionist: I have to call you back (never does) Me: I need an answer Receptionist: Send a referral Me: Brings it by paper, which I did not get in mail (of course) and drove to primary care doctor to retrieve. Receptionist: Need a fax Me: That is a piece of paper, which I just gave you Receptionist: Need it by electronics (which I was never told by referring dr or ins. co or specialist) Me: Insurance said it was sent Receptionist: I will not talk to your insurer Me: If have to leave and go through the rounds again, I will die of embolism, and waste much time. Receptionist: You wont. Me: You are not a doctor. My aunt died of this. Embolisms get loose and go to the heart or brain. The doctor has an oath and a legal obligation to treat. Receptionist: I can't help you. Alt: Me, weeks in advance, by email, telephone, letter: I have to cancel Reception: sends bill for cancellation without 24 hours notice Me: 3 emails saying I never had notice of your policy and it does not apply Reception: No response Me: 3 emails to remove bill without response Alt: Medical personnel at all levels: have an operation and you will not receive outside bills or have condition Afterwards: Have condition and bills Receptionists: There are other causes of the condition (about which I was not told, nor was my husband) Me: I would not have had debilitating operation then. These are examples, not specific conditions, but I am truly happy your experience is different. I don't know what culture you are talking about regarding paragraph 1.
  16. Born to an oppressed family, who suffered from poverty, illness, and discrimination, I still can't see why one would lump together all white males, many of whom were born of immigrants who scrubbed floors to put food on the table. The recent land confiscation from whites who paid for land and helped blacks in Africa by providing treatment, money, marching, political aid, and constitutional and legal drafting seems unfairly punitive. Similarly, most of us did not own slaves, live here during that period, or advocate for it. We were servants and basically still are. As for feminism, I wonder if any victim will be believed after media claims about rampant pervasive serially predatory behavior. As for making life purposely more difficult, I would love to meet someone who didn't. We can start with medical receptionists and work our way up.
  17. I thought no complete reconstruction existed, though. At least I was told so at a lecture.
  18. I enjoy some of his work but not all, and as people complain about the ABT strategy, I find the same thing with NYCB mixed bills. I don't know if this is the right place to put it, but if anyone wants to see one show and not another, it might be economical. Although I don't know if this is permitted
  19. She is very, very, very x100 lucky.
  20. Maybe that is what I meant, too.
  21. site specific? Red Giselle at City Center was gorgeous, but I liked the video better.
  22. They just made a new nut at Scala last year
