Crunch Time

It's that time of the year again...
Christmas songs are playing in the mall (and since I work almost every day I HEAR THEM ALL THE TIME!) and snow is falling... except in Ontario where it's like 15 degrees celsius... and it also means 1st term of school is coming to an end and the crunch time is here.

I litterally have been going insane all last week. I have a workshop rehearsal this Saturday for the 1st three scenes of my opera and unfortunately had only two scenes done last week. So there was that to do.. when I finally finish scene 3 last night I had to make a piano reduction so that there was something to work with next Saturday. Finished that ridiculously late at night, printed over 100 pages of score and photocopied about 300 pages today in the office to make enough copies for all the profs, and singers coming out on Saturday.

Meanwhile plans for Victoria are driving me crazy. Flight times, and organization is less then desirable and as I leave on Sunday I still have no hotel or flights booked.

As for Eddie Bauer, it's getting crazy busy. But for some reason, things aren't selling. People are in the browsing mood and its making my sales low and making the manager's really edgy... really really edgy.

But on the plus side, I had a great time with on Wed-Fri in Waterloo and Ian Green was up visiting this weekend. Myself, Ian and Ilena had a mini Queen's reunion and drank 4 bottles of wine between the 3 of us in about 4 hours... needless to say work on Sunday was painful.

Victoria plans to follow in the next post (possibly really soon if I ever get a real person on the phone (been on hold for 20 minutes now)...
