It sounds like your music leader needs to learn some respect for other people's time, Liese. I hope he picks up on that asap.
Sometimes a thing gets broke, can't be fixed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ugh, Liese, that sounds highly problematic. I hope this rehearsal was more of a hiccup than how things are going to be.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Definitely not a good sign
We have Real Orb today. I'm not sure what to do with it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Sunny here, too. Don't have any real plans today.

It's unbelievably gorgeous out.
And I have to clean house. eta: but at least I got to enjoy it with a lovely walk to the market. And fresh eastern shore strawberries, which are heaven. Had to eat a few on the way back,

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
That is a very high level of flakiness and non-leadership like qualities. Someone needs to sit down with him now. Even if yesterday was a bad day

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
It's gorgeous here, too. I've been sitting on my porch reading Harry Potter. I'm not sure what I'll do for the rest of the day.
I set up my university email account to automatically send suspected spam to a spam folder. Now, once a day, the system sends me an email listing the spam received that day. Usually, it's just one message. So I'm getting the same number of pointless emails as I was before.

It's pretty lovely here. I went running earlier, and the air was like champagne--all cool and fresh. I'll be shopping with amyth, then walking the cat, reading, doing laundry, going to the nursery. Ants have discovered my hummingbird feeder, so I need to get a water barrier. (I tried the petroleum jelly barrier earlier this week, and the little bastards just walk right over the stuff.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
We have Real Orb today. I'm not sure what to do with it.
I thought the a light in the basement was on, and I realized it was sun coming through the basement windows. I was seriously confused for a minute.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Liese, he didn't even call? Uggh. I hope he's just getting all his flakiness out now.
He did, but not until he was nearly there. Which means that I, who live 45 minutes away, was already on my way. And there was just no way he was going to make call if he'd left a normal time, because if he was trying to go after work, unless he left at 4:00, he couldn't get there.
It sounds like your music leader needs to learn some respect for other people's time, Liese.
Exactly this.
I hope this rehearsal was more of a hiccup than how things are going to be.
It doesn't bode well, that's for sure. And the drummer we had came up from the Valley too and I thought he was going to ride with the leader. When I asked him about it, he was all, "Well, I knew he'd be late, so I didn't want to ride with him." So it looks like it might be habitual.
Someone needs to sit down with him now. Even if yesterday was a bad day
The thing is, he's not even hired yet! Imagine what he'll be like if he knows he has the job! (At three times the salary of the guy that just quit, incidentally.)
Huh. Guess I'm not any less pissed this morning.
