I’m a bad blogger
I admit it. I suck at blogging.
When I have a lot to say, I can’t bring myself to take the 5 minutes and blog because I feel to busy. I miss a lot of the good stuff.
So what’s going on in my little Post Grad world?
I have a full time job that’s waaaay more than full time haha.
I travel every weekend in the fall during marching seasons. But I am absolutely loving it. I took this phone call from a band director the other day, and he was a new band director taking over a band from someone who just got fired. He was taking the band over in the middle of the season, all the shows this band were doing were set. The former director had them down for being in our regional on a Saturday. The problem was, they were scheduled for Friday.
All of their hotel and bus plans were for Saturday and he was freaking out, not sure what he was going to do. I was trying to figure out with my boss what we could do for them because our schedule was so full we didn’t think we could fit them in on the alternate day.
He calls me back to let me know he worked it out and was able to get the travel plans switched. I ran over to my boss’ office, and the CEO was talking with him. My boss looks up for a moment and says “Can it wait?”
I say very quickly “just wanted to let you know that Mark worked it out, and he’s okay. He’s good and they are going to come on Friday”
The CEO looked at me for a second, and then said “You are really emotionally involved arn’t you?”
It took me aback for a second, but I said “well, he was in a crappy situation and I cared about what happened… I wanted it to work out for him and the kids”
Yes…. I get emotionally involved in my work. I care about the people I’m serving. I want them to have a good experience with Music for All. I truly believe in my organization’s mission statement
“Creating, providing and expanding positively life changing experiences through music for all”.
Some say being emotional is bad thing for the work place. I can’t be any other way. My work consumes me. It’s important to me. I care.
and I wouldn’t do it any other way.
