No featured photo today. Not because I don’t have any, but because I’m sitting in bed and typing on my old Surface Pro and screen space is limited.
Yesterday, I quietly passed a year of working at the X-Company. I’d forgotten all about it until of the leads sent me a Skype wishing me a happy workaversary. He was one of the ones who declared that I had a bad attitude 8 or 9 months ago, but now seems to like me a little bit. Strange. As for the rest of the day, I continued to try to dig out from under a pile of tickets. More of that today. I’ve finally started to get the feeling that I might be able to get back on top of things, though. So there’s that.
It hasn’t been as cold for the last several days as it was for the weeks before that, but it has still been chilly enough for a jacket and the occasional shiver when I’m walking around our building. Hate to say it, but I wish it’d get up into the 50s or 60s for a few days and let me thaw out. The best part of my day at this point is the 5 minutes I spend in the shower under hot water.
The GBB had our first NABBA rehearsal last night and learned just how difficult the pieces we’re playing are. Lots of notes. For everyone. Lots of accidentals and awkward fingerings and fast tempos. We’ve got an all-day rehearsal (with sectionals) this Saturday. Should be fun. I have no idea, however, if we’ll be able to pull this stuff together. It’s, as a friend of mine used to say, “Stupid hard.”
And that’s enough for now. As I said, I’m sitting in bed. And I’m tired. And I think I’m going to sleep now.
