Shower helped a little, I'm thinking coffee well help a lot. I'm off this morning to have coffee with a perspective employee. When I inherited my church job (in 2005), I also inherited a trio of "ringers" or "section leaders" for the "adult choir". When they were hired, (before my time) they were students at the SF Conservatory of Music. Anyhow, in November the baritone told me that he was moving to LA the weekend after Christmas to live with his GF and to work at some video game company. That was great news for me because frankly, he was a handful and myself and the soprano and alto will be glad to be rid of him. So, I began my search to find someone to replace him. Anyhow, I did... however, he's STILL HERE!! He hasn't left yet and his excuse is, "the job hasn't called me yet, but I heard they will - I'll let you know"
So, he hasn't left, I meeting with someone to take his place today - who I REALLY want in as soon as possible, but I'm stuck until he officially leaves. IF he leaves. He was SO certain he was going that the choir (who loves him, of course) threw him a going away party at one of the rehearsals before Christmas. So there you have it. Happy Wednesday!
