The 'N' word
How do you say no to somebody? How do you say 'uh uh, no way am i doing THAT for you' without pissing them off or hurting them. I don't know why but I always end up doing extra than what I'm being paid for. And the pay isn't even THAT great. It's just so hard to say no without risking screwing up the relationship you have with the other person. Sure, sometimes you can squeeze your way out of it, or twist things around so that they THINK you are still doing it for them, but you're actually figuring out an escape route for yourself. But most of the time, I end up just doing it anyway. Ah well.
We did have a rather good class this evening. Bruce Broughton came as our guest speaker and he was pretty good. Very informative, kept it at a comfortable pace. And his music is....phew. Some of it sounds crazy! Notes flying everywhere! He played us different kinds of music that he has written and they were all pretty darn amazing! And I just realized that he was the composer of one of my favourite cartoon themes, Tiny Toons! Heh. Anyway, go check out his site. :) Bruce Broughton
Okie dokes. Gotta go make myself some dinner. Or supper....(Man, I do miss those late night mamak sessions) Cheerios!
