Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make sure everything and everyone's safe and ready. Call times. Go through headset protocol. Work with the house manager. Call the show. Type up a show report.

Answer: Are all the actors and crew present? If not, call 'em. If so, great. Now you have to make sure the deck is swept and mopped, everything is preset for the top of the show and it's all ready to go. If there are any hitches, people will probably come to you. It'll change every night. You're still the clock, even though you're out of rehearsals. Keep everyone posted on the countdown. Let them know at a half hour before that the house is open. Let them know it's 20 to places. 10 to places. 5 to places. And, finally, places. And make sure they say, "Thank you, 10!" (for example) before you assume they've heard you. You'll also probably be letting everyone know when the stage is open and closed (for things like flying and whatnot), when physical and vocal warm ups are, etc. Basically when anything happens, you alert the masses. If you have a crew of veterans, this won't be that big of a deal. But the odds of everyone being seasoned aren't great! Assume they could all use a brush up and go over headset protocol. Here are a few things: You will say "warning" and the cue number and whom it affects ("warning on deck cue 16," for example). The affected person should then say "Thank you, warning." After a warning, you will say "standby," as in "standby deck cue 16." The affected person should then say, "stage left," or "lights" or whatever their department is. When a standby is called, there is no more talking. When it is time for the cue, you call "GO." There is no response to this. You are the only one allowed to call the final go. Headset banter is a natural part of working backstage. It's a great part. Just know when it's appropriate and when it's not. Every night you'll have a front of house info sheet to fill out about ticket sales and box office issues. Your house manager and you will work out a system. But for their sake, keep your routine habitual. Try to show up at the same time and place each night so they can predict how things work with you. Co-ordinate with the front of house manager of when to open the house (generally half an hour before) and when to start the show. Do you hold the show by 5 minutes because the line at the box office is huge? Patrons can't find parking? Is it raining? They'll let you know if anything out of the ordinary is happening out front -- it's just as important as what's happening in the back! That headset protocol we talked about? That's the stuff you'll be using to call the show. So at 5 to places, you'll head up to the booth (or wherever you're calling the show from), and your team will assemble. You've talked to the front of house, the headsets are on, the audience is ready, and you're ready to call cue 1. Curtains open! This is used to tell the production team how it went, the length of the show, the house count, and any problems or anything that needs to be fixed before the next show. With any luck this'll be totally repetitive every night and you'll be able to do it with one eye closed and an arm tied behind your back.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take a few deep, calming breaths. Look at the situation objectively. Step away from the situation.

Answer: If the person has just said or done something mean to you, it's important to cool off before you react. In the heat of the moment, it's easy to spew harsh words and react out of anger. If you're expected to give an immediate response, choose your words very carefully. Speak slowly and calmly, despite what you may be feeling. You can unpack your emotions later, but don't make a scene before you have time to fully consider the situation. This is easier said than done at first, but it's possible! If a stranger was rude to you, just remember that's all they are a stranger. Their words and actions have no bearing on your life. By reacting pleasantly and with kindness, you avoid making the situation a bigger deal than it needs to be. If it was a friend who was mean, don't let that one unfortunate moment ruin a foundation of friendship. It's important to separate the person from the behavior, and remember that their rude words or actions are not who they are. By separating the words and behaviors from the person, it also becomes easier to not see something as a personal attack against you. If you don't take the time to step away and consider the different possible ways you can react, you may act in a way that you will later regret. If necessary, give the person some sort of neutral excuse for stepping away. Tell them you have a scheduled phone call, an appointment, or an errand to run. You can even just say you have work to do, and need time to focus. Don't tell them you need time away from them, because that will make them defensive right off the bat. Then, go do something that always makes you happy, whatever that might be. It's pretty hard to be mean to someone if you're feeling really happy. Exercise, talk with a good friend, watch something funny on TV, meditate, or do anything else to get your mind off the mean person and cheer yourself up. Get to your "happy place." Don't return to the tense situation until you only have good intentions. In other words, wait until you are completely calm and ready to be kind.
