Welu:
Back seized this morning and I freaked out and had to get my partner to ring work for me to say I couldn't come in and I hate ringing in sick.
Patrick:
Yesterday I found out I'm unofficially fired, which is a way to fuck me over on unemployment benefits, but they don't know I know, and I am tempted to sue. I have friends, see.
I have had the longest day ever, in which:
1. I woke up and went way far out of my way for somebody who flaked on me 3 times
2. Packed up all my music shit
3. Went and endured the largest display of bullshit ego and musical masturbation ever, including a boring soundcheck prefaced by some jackass band-dad who felt like telling us all his made-up facts about everything ("the term 'green room' is a metaphor, because green means 'ready'" dude shut the fuck up)
4. Participated
5. Packed up
6. Got harrassed and ejected by some dickhead cop who falsely accused us of smoking and possessing weed, but refused to search us despite all 5 of us repeatedly consenting to searches
7. Won the fucking contest mother fuckers
8. Made the cop look like a giant dickhead in front of his co-cops that he was showing off to by harassing us in the first place
9. Drank beer
10. (in progress) Passed the fuck out, 23 hours later
Barmymoo:
Why is it called a green room?
I just got back from a night away and it feels like I've been gone for weeks. Getting out of town during term is very refreshing. I have spent the whole weekend eating, though. I suspect that the steady downward trend of my weight will have reversed this week.
I also am kicking myself because I didn't turn my phone on until this evening, and discovered I'd got a text this morning from a friend asking if I'd like to come round for dinner tomorrow and then babysit her son for the evening. Because the latter part is important and I hadn't replied for eight hours, she's now asked someone else. She asked me for dinner Tuesday instead, but it's Shrove Tuesday and the choir is coming over for pancakes. Grr. Why did I have my phone off?

Wikipedia says no one knows. Though the guy's theory is not offered on their list of possible explanations.

Webster's just says that it's probably because it used to be painted green. Well, yes. Duh. I imagine there was a particular theatre where the room was green, and it just spread from there; but if there is no record of that, I guess we'll never know.
