Good morning, all! I'm will not be around much the next couple of days until I finish the enormous pile of underscoring. It isn't difficult work, but it's frustrated by the general lack of awareness at LACC about the musical side of a new production. I have no workspace, no intern/student/assistant to run the mundane work of taping, fetching, or photocopying (why the hell doesn't there seem to be an accessible photocopier in the theatre dept?) and as aresult, I wander from pillar to post looking for a corner to set up shop andf work. I love the students, my friends in the show and the band, but I've yet to be officially introduced to any of the faculty.
I should have stayed in the "music dept." all night and worked but I had to be out at the end of rehearsal and all I could do was schlep everything back to my hosts, work, crash, get up and do some more and inb another hour I'll schlep all this crap back down to LACC and wander around looking fgor a work space before I can continue to work. This is most unseemly, unprofessional, and counterproductive, especially since my goal is to get around 90% of these bits into the band parts tonight and the entire show numbered! I am not unhappy; I am fruistrated.
