This is about what the calendar in my office looks like now. The problem with being the new guy is that no one tells you shit until right before you're supposed to do it, and then look at you like you're a hare-brained retard when you don't know what the hell they're talking about.
Case in point: "Say, can you have the HS Band at 6 extra basketball games? We go to them every year, but I guess we forgot to tell you. By the way, two of them are the day before League Music Festival. Enjoy!"
Case in point number 2: The MS music festival is scheduled for a SATURDAY, during SPRING BREAK, THE DAY BEFORE F^@&ING EASTER! I don't know calendared that, but I hope they're standing outside the unemployment office right in a dirty undershirt trying to sell a bag of firecrackers so they can afford a bottle of rotgut so they can get a peaceful night's sleep in their favorite back alley.

You don't even celebrate easter.
I celebrate it by being an ecumenical mercenary and charging some church an exorbitant amount of money (that I'm totally worth) to toot along to some tired old hymn.
Also, I'm generally still drunk from the night before.
Man, there's nothing better than getting a sweet High Notes for Jesus gig. Baptists and Catholics are the money gigs, dude.
Last year on the Easter Vigil (that would be the Saturday night before Easter Mr. Ecumenical Mercenary) it was 6A solo festival, the death of your father's significant other's mother, lung surgery for your grandfather, and the baptism of your oldest nephew. THIS year it is the MS festival and most likely the baptism of your younger nephew. Just hang on to your hat, bub, and be glad your mother didn't choose that Saturday for her wedding . . . 'cause I almost did!
I take it back. The best Easter gig is double-dipping, playing an Easter Vigil for the Catholics and then going to play High Notes for Jesus the next morning for some Baptists.
:D
we do so celebrate easter, and in fact, the same as you yourself do, darling nick. we eat chocolate bunnies and try to avoid sunburn by not going outside.
EJ - Yes, I agree. It's even more if you can do three sets for Satan the night before.
"katherine" - Thank God.
Gindo - Here, here.
