Today we officially completed the first round of work on Life Begins At 8:40. I finished the last score proof around 11:45 am, and the two volumes of the orchestra score were bound and ready for the conductor by 1 pm. the orchestra reading is scheduled forTuesday Sept 1, and I wish the LoC, who is supposed to pay our invoices within 6 weeks of receipt would pay us our June invoice, which is now 8 weeks after submission. Stupid asses. So much for your government at work. God knows at this time when we see the money, not to mention the invoice we submitted four weeks ago and the one we submitted last week. There may be avery ugly scene at the reading between my employers and me, and I'm prepared to initiate it.
I also forgot to mention that the retired cop on the fifth floor who always stunk up the elevator with his body odorhas died in the past week. It was his decomposing body that alerted the neighbors to a problem.
