I'm really kind of tired of having the ward expect me to be The Music Person, of being required to submit the music in advance, of being held responsible for planning it, and then having people do end runs around me to change things. I am tired of feeling stupid because no one tells me what the heck is going on. I am tired of having to just roll with it.
Seriously. Just keep me in the frickin' loop, people, it's not that hard. I am GLAD to turn things over to someone else for a song or two instead of doing the arm waving thing. I PROMISE.
I want to go back to the good old days when no one in the ward knew who I was, and I didn't have any jobs, and I sat in the very back and snuck out after Sacrament meeting.
Maybe if you start acting like the schizophrenic freak that I look like in Jr. Primary only in front of all the big people in the big room, they'd think you'd lost it and move on? Just a suggestion. I'm telling you. If you stop them in the middle of the verse to say, "I can't hear you!" and ask them to clap out the rhythm for the first time through while your organist just plays the melody. It could be entertaining and serve as a release. From the call. Star Trek this Saturday afternoon???? Unless you already have tickets for opening night.
