three things make a post

We have finished the training for the accounting software at work. DC and I got to skip the last day's training, as it was for Receivables and Budget, neither of which we are authorized to do. Election-wise, we are in 'hurry up and wait', as we can't do *anything* until the Bureau of Elections gets the precinct lists set up in the voter database. And even then we can't start sending out AV applications until the BoE finds out how(if) the state wants to implement the "state funded return postage" that was part of the proposal that got approved in the November election. But nobody could start (officially) figuring out how to do that until the election was certified, and that didn't happen until two weeks after the recount finished, so mid-December, and then it was holidays....

The transcribed music for Children's March is *much* easier to handle. I need to check with the librarian about getting the tuba part for a couple of pieces, just in case the tuba players miss the concert. I was really annoyed with the two ASax players at rehearsal on Tuesday, as they wouldn't Shut Up and kept talking over everything. I mean, it's no problem of mine if they screw up because they weren't paying attention, but I couldn't hear the director over them yammering.

I got to stay home today! It was weird. But then I went and scheduled a haircut for tomorrow, so I won't get to stay home all weekend. sigh. It's very pretty outside right now, in a cold and wintry style, as the ice coating that fell last night is sparkling in the full sun. (it's also 23F (-3C), so the sun isn't really going to make the ice fall off.)

Annabelle cat has discovered the small cat-trap(cardboard box) that Ji managed to move over the floor register in the den. Ji is somewhat displeased by this, as he wants to have the choice to not curl up in it, but he's mostly gotten over it.
