This from 22.Dec.2009. Heading out soon for the Cambridge grocery run. Still no news on the job front for Andy. The phone interview he had yesterday was less than inspiring since the HR person he talked to last week mentioned this software product he's been working with & the Indian (as in from India) engineers he talked with on the phone yesterday & could hardly understand said "Oh, we outsource all our Flex work." So the right hand apparently knoweth not. Typical dreck (i.e. selections from Cats - cue the sound of a cat coughing up a hairball) with the upcoming Melrose pops concert, though the Weber Oberon overture (which we didn't rehearse last night) & the Copland Lincoln Portrait (with Kim Khazei, one of the local TV anchors as narrator - how do we snag these high-profile folks? Apparently the koto player who joined us last week has had her playing included in major motion pictures.) do up the quality quotient. The thing that bugs me about so much of this pop concert music, like Hayman's Pops Roundup is that it's technically so hard - what a waste of time practicing all that crap - though I guess in the long run it improves technique so there's the silver lining.
