I guess I'd be the closest thing to an expert on the subject, at least until Tore comes back.

You joke, but I actually have a squirrel to sell. Theoretically at least.

If by "payment", you mean "Shut up and get in the van!", then yes.

Interviewed two professors today for an article on a chamber music concert on campus. One was a pretty terrible interviewee (short answers basically) and the other was great. The latter one (who composed one of the pieces performed) and I then talked about John Cage and other artists for about an hour and a half. I showed him my music and he really dug it. He took a liking to me and is going to be showing me some recording techniques and wants to play with me all for free instead of me having to take a course. Pretty awesome.

Congratulations, Frownland! I know exactly the feeling of a professor appreciating your music. Certainly you will have a great time.
That reminds me a lot on my entrance exam where half of the commission declined me and my teacher would tell me in advance that she would want me to be her student.
Within one single month I changed the technique I had used 11 years and my playing improved siginificantly, though, I'm practicing a lot. The efforts will be amply rewarded.
At a meeting in Denmark my recorder professor has already told the resident main professor about me - I'm not even an official student and she plans Erasmus-exchanges!

*Talks to music professor in class about John Cage because he was in textbook, gets told "He was just some guy that sat at some piano and did nothing for 5 minutes"*

My heart just broke, why does no one around me like anything even remotely different?

The typical day for me since I switched departments at work (a decision almost entirely based on how much I actually hate people and want to be away from them) -

Spoiler for mundane stuff:
Wake up at 4:45am so I'm ready by 6 because we haven't gotten our new car yet.
Take the bus within the 6 o'clock hour because the 7 won't make it in time.
Clock in around 7:30-7:45.
Recover a portion of the salesfloor, which is always (of course) destroyed and overcrowded, so I have to pull large chunks of product.
Roll more product non-stop from about 9 until 4:30-5 o'clock/whenever.
Catch the bus around 5:30.
Get home around 6.
Do any necessary shopping/chores/whatever.
Go to sleep by 10:30pm.


perks:

guaranteed 40 hours a week, overtime every day.
can pretend I don't even work there because my badge is not required.
people generally have left me alone and they're really not my problem anymore.
I'm not really required to talk to anyone if I don't want to but we're all so tired that it's just understood that it's nothing personal.

I haven't been posting much lately but my hands are healing after 3 weeks of dealing with horrifying, severe and sudden eczema. I'm also on some crazy antibiotics because infection was pretty much unavoidable with that much skin peeling off my hands. The medicine makes me feel like throwing up and I have to take it on an empty stomach or it doesn't absorb properly.

it's really not great but shit happens.
