phineasjonesso. are we surprised that the loser guy showed up 45 minutes late? nah, right? should have anticipated that. it all came off ok though, thanks to patience and flexibility on the part of my lovely choir. it just would have been so much better if they guy had been remotely on top of things. this is his frickin job.
anyway. after the service, we had a music committee meeting. after that, i ran into bill, who's on the committee but missed the meeting and he asked for a recap. the recap ended with me recounting to him how i had asked for advice about the possibility that rach and i will move to western mass. i want to keep this job, but i would want them to pay me more to cover my increased travel expenses. anyway, yada yada...
bill: hmm. interesting. well... you're going to be getting a letter this week.
me: what kind of letter?
bill: a letter from thetownwherethechurchis community singers. [bill is the pres of that group]
me: what's the letter about?
bill: you'll see. hmm. increased travel expenses? hhm. interesting.
me:!!!!!!!
in case this is too cryptic - the implication seems to be that the job of music director for that chorus must be opening up. perhaps the letter is a notice of that. perhaps it is an invitation to audition for the job. in my wildest dreams, it would be a letter offering me the job. (i did direct them for one rehearsal, when their conductor was absent and they seemed to like me). this would be so exciting. it would be a fantastic foot-in-the-door type opportunity for me. a non-church chorus. i want one sososososo much!
ok. must stay calm. who knows what the letter actually says. if bill weren't the nicest person on the planet, i would call him a big meanie for teasing me like this. i'm just going to get in bed for a little while now. i have two hours til i leave for tonight's rehearsal. ::sigh:: and i'm frickin tired. ::zzzzzzzzzz::
