    I'm guessing that they are not in costume. :smile:

    How long does it take them to get into costume. The hair alone must take close to an hour.

    I don't know, great question though. I just took a look at the press kit for the show TOTEM and it takes between 1/2 hour to 3/4 hr to do their own makeup and the costumes are amazing too. The Crystal Man costume weighs 8 lbs!.

    The weather has been just miserable here. High 30's to low 40's and rain. Not cold enough to snow but not warm enough to make the rain not miserable. Makes you just want to stay inside and sleep.

    Also, I think I'm coming down with something. I hope it doesn't get nasty.

    Also also, that costume is absolutely beautiful!

    Yep, rain and low 40's F generally here in the valley. 6C tonight... Winter has officially started here, lol, Warren Miller's film Face of Winter is on in a couple weeks and the Banff Mountain Film Festival will be here shortly too. Annnnd, hubby and I need to decide which mountain to buy our passes from this year. We don't do the full on season pass, just the discounted set of tickets to be used during the season (up to 40% off is a good deal when the bloody tickets are over $100 a day plus taxes on the mountain.)

    Downhill skiing is getting to be a sport of the rich. Big mountain here is over $100/day. Season passes make it cheaper if you go often but $800/year is still out of my price range. Blacktail mountain is still $50/day but if I go on my birthday it's $25.

    A He11 of a day! A criminal whom I caught in the act of stealing diesel from a construction site sprayed me full on in the face with bear spray early this morning. Part of a very organized ring that have repeatedly hit all the large construction/heavy equipment sites in the area. Had to get taken to hospital by ambulance, and a strip and full shower for a long time with a full minibottle of baby shampoo. He had a tazer too, good thing I was in the car with the window down just a bit. Recorded statement with RCMP this afternoon after the Ativan I was given for sleep wore off. Victims Services is coming out to the house tomorrow. Worker's Compensation Board claim and off work tonight. Still feels like I've been swimming in a badly chlorinated pool for hours with a sunburn.
    Photo of my jacket collar. What a huge procedure to launder the clothes and decontaminate my stuff. Most of it is still in a sealed bag and I'll deal with it tomorrow, but thought I'd give it a try to clean the jacket and Hi-Viz vest.
    You can see the orange stain from the spray all over my collar.

    Apparently, I made the front page online news site today - RCMP asking the public for help in this case.

    Yeah, thanks Jen. The gal from Victim's Services suggested journaling it out, which I know will be helpful - plus it will be good to have a detailed written record for myself in case this guy gets caught and comes to trial and I am called up. I could tell this wasn't his 'first rodeo.'

    Wow! I've had dogs in the clinic that were sprayed with bear spray. We were gagging and choking and couldn't see jack! I can't imagine what getting sprayed in the face would do! I'm glad you're alright. You have my complete sympathy on this one.
  • sufferlandrian

    If you manage to get the bear spray out of your clothes, let me know how you did it.
  • canadjineh
    canadjineh Posts: 5,396 Member
    Yep, you can get it out of most clothes and even carpet - here's the link to how. It's taken parts of three days to clean all my uniform and cap and hi-viz vest. Hard work, much scrubbing and soaking.... I feel like I've been hunched over one of those old-fashioned wood and zinc corrugated scrub boards. https://sandssafetystore.com/blog/how-do-you-get-pepper-spray-out-of-clothes/

    I was just thinking about night shift and some of the odd habits I've picked up from it. To whit, I just washed down some sleeping pills with Mountain Dew.

    What are some odd habits that you guys have picked up from shift work?
  • canadjineh
    canadjineh Posts: 5,396 Member
    Sleeping pills with mountain dew??!! They are kind of at cross purposes, aren't they, lol? I say good morning when I answer the phone at 2pm.... there's always a moment of silence on the other end, no matter who it is :D . My 5:30am sleep routine is a bit odd, I guess. I take a glass of Magnesium bisglycinate in water, let a GABA tablet dissolve in my mouth, dab lavender and rose geranium oils on my wrists & neck, and pop my little fuzzy infinity scarf around my neck to be pulled over my eyes when I get into bed to block out any stray light. And earplugs. I probably look bizarre but when you've been married for 36 years you both look bizarre in bed no matter what. At least it's familiar bizarre hahaha!

    I must be the oddball. I go home, change, and crawl into bed and sleep. If anyone calls at 2 PM, I don't say good morning, I ask who's dying. Actually, my phone is on do not disturb so no one calls until 4 PM. I do have two weird habits. I need background noise to sleep. I turn Pandora on soft music and I make sure one of the blinds is open so I don't panic and think I've overslept if I wake up before my alarm. :smile:

    You would think so, but if I don't get enough caffeine throughout the day to soothe the beast of caffeine addiction, then I will develop a headache that will interfere with my sleep. Hence, occasionally washing down sleeping pills with a caffeinated beverage.

    I don't answer my phone pretty much ever, so that's not really a problem, but since I've frequently work overnights while going to school, I'll wake up at say, 6, and it'll take me a few mins to determine if it's am or pm (for some reason that really freaks people out). Also, I sleep with a mask and a white noise machine.

    I'm not sure which bothers me more; when a client didn't give their regular vet's treatment time to work, or when you look at that treatment and can't see how that would possibly help the current problem.
