Wanted: Qualified Manager

There is a part of my passion and profession which I absolutely hate! And yes, I do use that very strong adjective. That part involves the time spent in front of the computer doing busy, boring, paperwork---whether it is business or performing related. I just can't stand it!

Today I found myself all pumped to work on the program for my upcoming Concert. I did a promo flyer. Then I started in on the program. You know, people really have no clue what goes into preparing for a concert! I know that sounds divaish. I don't mean to be. But it really is hard, tedious work. Typing out composer names---none of which are in American. (Well, a few are). Typing out dates of guys way long dead. Putting in the foreign accent marks. Typing out translations of gushy love songs. Being sure everything is spelled right, even if it is in Old English form. Getting the spacing just right. Being sure no one is offended that their part of the bio page wasn't cut short. Getting the program to fit in just a certain amount of pages.

AHHH! I wasn't a computer major! Well, like I said, today, I was working on it. Poured over it for hours................................AND LOST THE WHOLE THING.

Ah curses!

But I did the right thing.....had the right response! PAT PAT PAT!!!! I just started again. But it is so irritating. I love singing. But I need a manager! That is all I have to say! Please someone come and save me from myself!
