So, I haven't posted in a while. More than a week, in fact. I've been pretty busy, and I won't be getting less busy for the forseeable future. That precludes me from having ample time to type entries like this - but what's more, as busy as I am, I really don't have anything interesting to talk about.
So, since the last update, the following has happened:
1. I started work. Since my supervisor is retiring in a couple weeks, he hasn't been around the office too much. Consequently, it took about a week for me to actually get any real work. However, in the mean time, I had managed to complete a required online civilian education course - one of those HR deals where you learn how to work and play well with others - and complete a handful of other administrative tasks. So when my boss came back the following week, I actually received quite a bit of new work. Some of it is more interesting than the rest - but I'm just happy that my time is going to be used effectively (at least for the forseeable future).
2. I played principal with the City of Fairfax Band at the 4th of July Celebration. Nothing really of interest here, except that it became painfully obvious that I haven't been practicing enough to play principal horn by myself for an entire concert. I figure I'll start practicing more over the next few weeks, though, since I'm supposed to audition for a couple of sub lists for local orchestras. CFB is a good gig though - friendly people, moderately challenging music, and most importantly, it keeps my performance chops up and keeps me practicing daily. Hopefully my practice routine will continue - but that remains to be seen.
So yeah, that's about all that's new with me. I know it's only 2200 hours, but I have to be up early for work tomorrow and I have to ref two basketball games immediately after I get off work, so I'm gonna go to sleep now. Cheers.
