LA STAGE BLOG - Up-to-date news, opportunities, and perspectives in the Los Angeles performing arts community

A tragedy has occurred in this office! The shadow of death is upon us, as my dear, miniature pot of roses have all but faded away. I bought them at the start of my career and unfortunately, they have withered even as my job blossoms. I detected the first stages of mortality when I noticed the plant appeared rather crispy around the edges. I wrote it off to lack of sunlight and set them in the nearest windowsill. Two weeks later, I check back and the roses have already check out. I think it’s best if I don’t attempt a round two on desk flora. I already feel guilty enough, as it is. I’ll wait for retirement to work on my green thumb. For now, I’ll resign myself to plastic Asian toys and the variety of empty mineral water bottles that collect on my desk.
