Here's a full opinion piece from the gentleman (or not depending on your opinion) who tossed the phone.
News:
Attention students and faculty: we're cracking down on use of SMNet for homework, but also starting a scholarly journal for the best student essays. There is also a new hidden board for those who teach stage management or work with interns.

I'd be personally interested if he gets sued and then counter sues for assault since she did slap him.
Since everyone seems to be in agreement I wonder what the student SMs would do if the cast basically says screw you, we're doing it anyway. Just to add another wrinkle to this issue. Maybe even after the show starts, they just hijack it and do their own thing.
Don't mean to change the terms of the question, but I'm curious how people would react.

Nobody's mentioned the Equity cot yet?
Of course not....have you tried to wrestle the Equity cot out of the hands of a diva?
You should write a contingency for the North Koreans launching a nuclear assault, zombie apocalypse, and the rapid release of gravimetric pressure.
Hey....they could happen during your show!
As for specifics...I think you've got the right basic idea not mapping out everything:. Impossible. I'd go with the SL, SR procedures. Maybe the best way to go about it is ask the producer which situations they can think of that they'd like you to have procedures in place for and develop those.

The major ones, family weddings...funerals...but I gave up my health to theatre most of all.
Late hours, no sleep, living off caffeine and energy drinks, midnight $1 a slice pizza, frozen dinners, thousands and thousands of cigarettes, alcohol to numb a bad tech, alcohol to celebrate an opening, unhealthy relationships....I've lost my pinky toe nail, done nerve damage to my left elbow, hyper extended my right one multiple times, worn down my knees, nearly crushed all the fingers on both hands, electrical shocks, burned, cut, splinters etc...
I thought when I left to sit behind a desk I would miss it. I found that I just don't. My swan song production to me was the best way to cap my career and that part of my life. I was the calm center in a sea of chaos, adapted to severe technical difficulties Etc etc. I was sad because I finally felt every thing click for me as a stage manager and I would be walking away after and what could be now that I had this revelation.
But I will always know what it was.

See?? The electoral college is to blame! Laptop won the popular vote but because of gerrymandered districts, paper comes out with a win!!!
The Supreme Court will hear of this!

If laptop loses, I expect to see a decrease in activity as people snail mail their posts to Kay
again, I have absolutely run shows without headsets. I MUST have my paper. Pads, sticky notes, run sheets, whatever - all ahead for paper!
This is an old play by now. Headset has it on tape and is prepared for it.
You keep using this word... Socialist.... I do not think that word means what you think it means...
I'm using what I learned from watching the election coverage and applying them here. And stop trying to stifle me just because I'm part of the 47%!
Ah. Television. Well....Carry on then!

So what on_headset is telling us is they commit the cardinal sin of headset use and press the talk button prior to screaming hold.
Screaming hold should be enough one would think. One should also probably use a god mic for said purpose.
ps: I'd vote for god mic making a bracket next year.
