Post #299

Well if you've kept with me this long, chances are you're not going to be terribly surprised by the excitingness levels of this post (or the sweeeeeeeet grammar for that matter). Here are some random musings from my last few days:

  • I like my office. I like that it is air conditioned, particularly on warm days like today. I like that it has natural light -- a real rarity as far as my past work experiences go. I like the people I work with and they seem to like me -- does this ever happen? I like that I feel useful and that I'm making money. I like that I'm not playing bassoon very much right now. I like that I don't feel guilty for not practicing.
  • I liked this article about horns & horn players. I generally don't like reading, but I enjoy writing that has a good sense of wit about it. The Angry Organist's posts keep me quite entertained for this reason.
  • I actually like the web-site I helped build / am the current co-webmaster of. I find it so surprising that it was quite simple. In a sense I'm glad the standards were so low (the last site was t-e-r-r-i-b-l-e) so that literally any small thing I did to improve it was met with huge accolades.
  • I like that there are people in town again. I am confused it as well though in that I haven't talked to some of these people in nearly five months. Sometimes I would try and get in touch with people over the summer and they would never get back. Sometimes the roles were reversed and I just let e-mails sit un-replied in my inbox. What to do, what to do. September is such an awkward time. It's a good time to start things new whether that's rekindling an old friendship or moving on from one that's been non-existant for five months and was never the greatest of things in the first place. I over think things I know. It's what I do best. It's why they pay me.

I don't know what to do tonight. It's my last night with the place to myself but I don't really feel like hanging out by myself. Thus the school-year struggle begins; I have muchos time on my hands whilst everyone else is gearing up hard core for auditions, teaching (gasp! I am getting ollllllllld), course selections, visiting everyone else who just move back, etc. Hmmmmm. Something more to think about.
