This is a Long One...
Found these here and some of these are soooo true it isnt even funny:
You Know You're a Light Board Op When...
You have a sore on your index finger
You're dates initials are written in the beams during intermission
You keep a steady supply of drinks in a mini-fridge nearby
You wake up in the middle of the night looking for a "Go" button
Other crew members throw objects to wake you up for stand-by's
You keep a lighter by the board to wave if anyone sings a ballad onstage and you feel like making them laugh

you feel like you are eternally wearing a head set.
you have friends on the crew and they have no choice but to listen to you.
the followspots leave offerings to the Almighty Stage Manager.
you have actors actually listening to what you say.
You Know You're a FollowSpot when...
You ALWAYS notice when the spotlight comes on in a play.
You can do ballyhoos better than an ice skater.
You can hit a dime on the stage...or a cow for that matter.
"Have you hugged your spotlight today?"
You dream of working the spot, not being in the spot.

You wake up to a familar humming noise.
You find yourself playing a lot more solitaire than you used to.
You're scared to go in the attic because of the ghost named Annie.

You leave offerings to the "Almighty Stage Manager".
Your headset is continually being stepped on, broken, or dropped.
You've seen the most spectacular fire...from your spotlight.
It looks like a star scene...on the stage!!
You call yer spotlight an affectionate name. (ex. Spotty, Barely)

"No food, no beverages." Doesn't apply to you.
You walk around barefoot and play Uno and word games to pass time.
You're the lowly work horse, and live to serve the Almighty Stage Manager.
Sneaking in food is one of your best talents.
Steep stairs no longer scare you.
You now can handle hot weather since you've lived in it long enough.
You get sick from hacking on the smoke that comes from resurc.
