Aug. 20th, 2004 06:58 amIt is confirmed, the universe is conspiring to annoy me at work. Nothing major, just constant, can't-follow-through-with-plans-because-something-came-up bullshit. And I lost my pager, probably when I was picking up trash in the hedgerow again. Someone's kids set up their own little smoking and fire-building spot where they used to build treehouses....I found a stool, a quart baggie full of matches and chewing gum, and two folding knives next to a pile of burnt paper. Sheesh.
Rehearsal last night wasn't any better. Spent the whole night stopping because Bob couldn't count last night, and kept coming in 1-2 beats early, and then screwing everyone else up. Every time we stopped, we'd have to play that section 4-5 times before Bob realized he was missing his entrances. This wasn't new music, either. We'd done the Gilbert & Sullivan pieces off and on for months, now. He wasn't much better on the brand-new stuff. And if I hadn't said something about needing to go home and eat some dinner before bed, Betty would have kept us there until 9 or so.....grr.....as it was, I didn't get out of there until 8:30 last night.
F made his cat leave the bedroom yesterday afternoon, so all the cats were twitchy. There was a major catfight just before I left for rehearsal...Fuzz and Spats got too curious and too close. That became a rolling, hissing mass of black fur, through the family room and into the living room. Don't think any of them were hurt, but there are impressive piles of black fur on the floor. Tesco (F's cat) spent the evening hiding in the back of one of my paper cabinets; none of us could coax him out. Don't know if F got him out when he got home from work or not. He may still be there.
Still only one computer in the shop, and The Other Dave is in today, and is not planning on working, apparently. Not that that's anything new, but it is inconvenient. And annoying--it's hard to motivate myself when there's someone spending the day in the shop goofing off all day.
