ouf!! I'm tired..
My first day of vacation, and how did I spend it?? I went to school at nine in the morning and slaved futilely until twelve. We were organizing music in the band room. (Yep, I'm officially a librarian now!) The whole job is actually pretty hideous. Band rooms are always a mess anyways, and the music... well.. it's really really bad. There's no order to it at all. We have a giant wall of shelving for it, more than 11 feet by 11 feet of manilla folders.. (121 square feet.. aaugh...) We took it ALL out, put them in separate piles, and started alphabetizing.. It was like playing Jenga with sheet music or something.. They wouldn't stop toppling. It was really dusty, and tireing, and I was getting hot because I was wearing a sweater and running back and forth.
We didn't even finish with the alphabetizing yet, and after that we still have to go through all the folders to make sure they have all the parts, count the number of copies and originals, create a list of all the music we have, and then re-shelve it all. (Not to mention the piles of miscellaneous music which still have to be put back in folders, two sets of pep band folders, school instruments to take care of, and general cleaning to do...) Oy... Needless to say, I'm going back on monday.
It's actually kind of rediculous anyway, because there's no way that anything is going to stay organized. One year from now it's probably going to be a mess again. But I hope not! But as I said earlier.. even though there is no such thing as a clean band room, ours will be. "People will worship our band room!" :-p
ah yes. It's all cool. I'm used to futility, I like organizing things, and there's something kind of fun about impossible tasks.. in a sort of.. masochistic way.. :-p It certainly is interesting at least! We found some funny stuff.. One of our folders contained music for Stanford's school song, "Hail, Stanford, Hail!", but whatever idiot labeled the folder put "Hail Stand Ford Hail".. lol.. it's funny. Oh and waay way up high on top of the shelves, we found boxes full of reel-to-reel music recordings.. Do you know how old those are!!? 50 years at least. Ah.. useless ancient stuff is great. And it's great entertainment just making fun of song titles.. I mean, what the heck is "Cuchy Frito Man"??! hehee :-p
Fun stuff. I love random rubbish and chaos. It's quite interesting sometimes. Plus I had fun with the people I was working with, so I think the slavery was worth it. I even got free lunch today. It was great.
lol.. I had to get a ride home afterwards, and (this is really embarassing..) I couldn't even tell them how to find my own house. Not my fault though! Not my fault! We started out from my friends house, and I got confused because every time I go to her house we come a different way because my friend Richie's kind of a dope and doesn't know where he's going.. the result being that I got turned around and accidentally told them to turn left instead of right.. (ok.. yeah.. it kinda was my fault.. :-p) I hellof got razzed for that. lol. :-p But I got here! :)
AFTER I got home I spent the entire remainder of my day cleaning the bathroom. Fun huh? Yeah. Wohoo. That's something great to do on vacation. :-p I don't care though because it needed to be done. and the bathroom is the cleanest it's ever been in it's life. :-p I guess I'm just in a cleaning mood lately anyways.
So... yes.. that's why I'm tired now. I only just got to sit down and relax. Watched some tv, wrote on here.. Oop.. dad just told me I have 10 minutes to get off of here. Bastard. Kiss my ass. Why does it have to be home? I'm tempted to stay on now- just because, but I'm done now anyways and I need sleep.. and something sweet to eat.. What a bastard though..
