work ahead

one day i was strings personnel manager, next day i became orchestra manager.
the only difference between a normal player and me is an extra service pay of $70.
so i've decided to act full on, because i realized i have to do a lot of extra physical work that can help me lose some pounds.
and i get paid for it, so why not?! XD
but there's an unexpected down side... i've been on an adrenaline rush for over a day before the first rehearsal (from something else, not this gig), so my muscles are especially sore and my brain a bit disoriented.
other than that, i'm perfectly pumped for the week.

tomorrow morning i'll have to early much earlier than today because i'll have to submit this thing for my dad to the insurance company, and they fucking close at 2pm.  wtf.
so i'm thinking of taking my baby into Scarborough town and just go shopping till set up time.
good plan!
hmm... or should i go watch a movie?
choices, choices!

this week should be the most packed week.  next week is mostly arrangement cramming.
hopefully i'll get more sleep next week.

new things

in case you're curious, it took me about 6 days to recover from that viral cold.
not too bad, but i had to do nothing but sleep, drink water, eat, and practise all day for 6 days.
guess sweating out the cold worked.

anyway.
have a wedding on july 14, and they asked for At Last.
apparently i only made a duet arrangement, and i needed a quartet version.
i'm so lazy to make one that i ordered it from soundpost. XD
well, it's a double print, so there's At Last AND La Vie en Rose.
hopefully they'll get it in by end of the month.

also discovered something called UV beads.
they're clear plastic beads that will turn into colours when exposed to uv rays, for example, sun light.
the colours would become more intense when there's more uv.
trying to find a good cheap price to have my first try.
i can also learn to bead them in string knots, something i haven't learned quite yet.
