Ups & Downs

waitingmanAn unexpected musical weekend. I was under the impression that none of the other Hands & Feet would be coming over to the 'Manor yesterday, but then received a phone call saying that Maelefic was on his way. I'd planned to do some R&D on a couple of existing pieces, record them & send them to the scattered band, but we ended up developing a new piece from a simple riff that M'fic pulled out of his trickbag.
Annoyingly, when it came time to record it this afternoon (yes, he stayed over & this morning we picked up where we'd left off after noise restrictions kicked in last night), I couldn't get a signal through to the recorder. So we just have to remember it the old-fashioned way & play it a lot this week, while I try to figure out what the @%&!'s wrong with my software... or me. It was working last night!!
7 phone calls from work today, not including the one I ignored. None of them urgent, I fail to see why they can't leave me alone on my weekend. I never ring the Hobbit on his days off. Speaking of which ~ I was woken this morning by a recruiter wanting last minute soundbites for his final push to have me hired by an AV company based over here on the beaches. It's amazing how awake & professional-sounding I can be within 5 seconds of opening my eyes... & I was looking forward to being able to resign from my 'Manager in all but name & salary' position. This evening, just before 7, the recruiter rang again to tell me I hadn't landed the job, but neither had anyone else yet. Just when the solution to many problems appears tantalisingly close, it waves & disappears, leaving me in the same mess & with the after-effects of dashed hopes & dreams. Again.
Back to the drawing board. Again.
