It was a nice weekend escape to Capricon, but....
When I left work on Thursday, they were looking forward (with a certain amount of trepidation) to the switchover for the accounting software. Friday, apparently the Clerk and the Deputy Clerk1 spent a few hours tracking down all the transactions that had been made since the beginning of the month. Monday, the trainer showed up "oh, you weren't supposed to do any of thiskind of transaction after we did our extraction" C says "I didn't know that" Trainer says "it's in the contract". except that it *wasn't*. So Clerk and Treasurer spent Monday and part of Tuesday getting the accounts to balance before we can start the training. Today, we get to come in after noon in hopes that they will have gotten to the point where they can actually start training us on Accounts Payable stuff. DC and I spent most of Monday and Tuesday doing more election set up -- we stuffed secrecy sleeves with voting instructions, and put the "I Voted by Mail" stickers on. And we worked on staffing assignments for May's election, and counted mailing envelopes and sorted out the storage closet. The storage closet is theoretically the Election storage closet, but the cleaning lady seems to think that since there are empty shelves in there *she* can put her stuff all over the room. Erm, no. *this* shelf is yours. The rest of it is for election stuff. sigh.
And I now have All The Keys. and an access code for the alarm system. And I'm waiting on the BoE to send me login credentials for the voter database -- I've finished that training. (whee. yes, I'm training on two different pieces of software at the same time.)
And then Monday's rehearsal was hard, and Tuesday's was hard, too, but in a different way. Monday we were working on Wild Symphony for the most part, although he did run Children's March. Tuesday night's band is getting into 'getting ready for the concert' mode. And the bassoon player didn't show, so I got to do all the bassoon cues in my part, as well as the 2nd bassoon part *and* the bass clarinet cues in there. (and the ASax2 parts in a different piece.) My project for the weekend is to transcribe all of that mess into one piece of music so I'm not swapping between transposing on the fly and reading straight and playing cues and playing the actual part. I hope it will be less confusing. There's a very tricky bassoon cue part in Armenian Dances that I almost got -- I know that I missed some notes, but I got the rhythm. (I am very glad that I've played Children's March before this season, because that makes the LCCB stuff possible -- I know where the BSax part goes, so now I just have to figure out where I play Bassoon2. Well, and wrangle 10 sheets of paper. That's the hard part.)
And sometime RSN I need to go to the grocery store -- we need bread and fruit and veg. All the stuff that I didn't buy last week because we were going to be gone for the weekend. Maybe this afternoon - the trainer goes home at 4....
