Today I'm working on collecting a debt (in the range of several thousand dollars) owed my employers. This always makes me so grouchy. I know there are processes and channels for registering complaints but it's all such a giant pain in the ass, and so confrontational and stressful to boot. Why can't people/businesses just not be assholes and pay up? WHY? (Aside: this all comes about as a result of that awesome Icelandic volcano last spring, and a last-minute international tour cancellation, and there is much drama, and lo, we are owed a refund, and lo, it comes not to us.)
This is yet another thing they did not teach me in music school -- along with press releases, grant writing, website maintenance, and uniform design.
And yes, me whining about my job means that it's about to start all over again and I am going to gradually disappear over the next 9 months as the season gets going. Whoo! Oh, real life. You are so all-consuming.
