I really do enjoy my job -- I just wish there wasn't so much of it!


Thursday, November 05, 2009

Things are slightly slower this week since I am done with recruiting trips.  Now it's time for the followup e-mails, calls, etc.

Symphony was good last weekend -- I had a blast, blowing as loud as I could and still keeping a good sound!

I feel like George Jetson at the end of the show when he gets caught on the treadmill.  I expect that to change in a week -- one more recruiting trip, and then I can shift more of my time into getting caught up, if there is such a thing!

It is interesting -- I am enjoying recruiting trips more this year than ever.  It is so nice to get off campus (away from the computer!) and see old friends and new faces.  It does make it harder during the week, doing 5 days of work in 4 days plus setting up the trip, but it is still worth it!

Concert with Mass Brass Sunday -- I am so glad that we rotate parts in the trumpet section.  I have a blast playing the lower parts on some pieces and letting someone else sweat it.  And, I enjoy playing first more when it's my turn.  Big concert with the South Arkansas Symphony on November 1 -- Pines of Rome and Night on Bald Mountain.  I hope I live through it -- we have 5 hours or rehearsal on Saturday with only a 30 minute break!

It's a good thing I am stubborn and refuse to give up -- there is still WAY too much to do, but I cling to the illusion that it will get better.  At any rate, I'm enjoying recruiting this fall and I'm taking the weekend off!  (Except for my trumpet -- that's just part of me.)
