Why can't people on Quizilla spell?
( Yep, more quizzes )I feel bad for the ferry pilot; I can't imagine having to face the fact that somehow, by whatever mistake/illness/ailment/whathaveyou, I had caused death and maiming to the people trusting me for safe transport. No wonder he tried to kill himself; wonder if he'll succeed, in the end. By last report I read, he was still critical. I have to wonder if it wouldn't be a mercy if he did; people are already accusing him of murder. (clarification: murder is intended, manslaughter isn't...I can pretty much guarantee he didn't *plan* to crash)
RL is kind of confusing...juggling so many different hoops. I feel like my attention is split so many directions, I can't do any one thing right. Computer issues (yes, plural...this category is confusing in its own right), job issues, report issues, money issues...even my cat; my dear, sweet, almost-20-year-old Boo, is a source of concern, as she has dental problems, dandruff problems, and litterbox problems...every so often, she'll miss. My hardwood floor wasn't in very good shape to start with, but it's pretty thoroughly wrecked now. Stinks, too. And she gives me this wide-eyed, "What?" look when I try to get her to get *all* the way in the litterbox before she goes...
If this is what potty training toddlers is like, I don't want kids.
Oh, yeah, and the music director at church scheduled a "Young Adults Ensemble" for special music at church this coming Sunday night, but most of the "Young Adults" (translated: anyone post high school but not "Married with Kids") are currently away at college. The ones that are here are mostly not willing to get up in front of people and sing. There are a few, but here's the problem: no one was designated as "in charge" so no one did anything about it. I got in touch with one of the other YAs who isn't away at school, and found out she's going out of town for the weekend.
So, I'll be doing a solo. Not that I mind terribly; I've been singing solos in church since 6th grade. It just frustrates me that it was so mishandled. If he wants the YAs to sing, he needs to get them together much sooner than the Sunday before he wants them to sing! Some of us can handle that kind of short notice, but the average person can't, and singing together as a group requires enough time to become familiar with not only the music, but also the singing of your companions. A dozen or so soloists singing at once never sounds as pleasant as a smoothly harmonized ensemble that has obviously practiced making themselves balance each other out.
[sigh] He's not that bad; I actually like him a lot better than the former music director - has a great sense of humor, and is really good at getting the choir to do what he wants without putting people down unnecessarily. The choir has grown since he's been in charge; he's ever so much more pleasant than the previous guy. It's just one more frustration in my currently whirling life...
