Adventures in Accompanying
Last night, the same woman who tracked in crap all over my front hall phoned. I thought she was calling to confirm that her son's violin exam (that I am accompanying) was at the church that's a 5 minute drive from my house.
Here's where it gets funny.
Turns out that somehow when they filled out the exam application, she managed to put Barrie instead of Newmarket, which is about an hour north of here. When the exam centre listings are in alphabetical order, I don't even see how that is even possible, but she somehow managed it. Fortunately she offered to drive me there as well and pay me extra, or else she'd be even more frantically trying to find a new accompanist this morning.
What's worse is the weather today SUCKS - 10 cm. of snow here, probably more up in Barrie, and cold enough to freeze your knockers off (judging from the poll results you guys liked the term 'knockers', right?)
So I'm waiting for her to come pick me up, I'm sure I'll have more stories to tell when I get home later. Hopefully I'll make it home in one piece, because although I haven't seen her car, she exudes an aura of being an SUV-driving maniac. LOVELY!
update: this is the view from my window. It's not a blurry pic. The white is SNOW. :cold
