I'm suffering from a terrible bout of insomnia.
On Wednesday I ranted about the band thingy; from the moment I started screaming at Shawn on Monday I knew there were going to be repercussions, so I figured I should beat them to the chase and write a note notifying them of my disinterest from that point on. But I guess they beat me to it.
For a little bit of context I'm going to try to summarize what my Monday note said (it was in numbered points). If I even remember it. These won't be in the correct order.
I stuck my new note on the fridge today and when I got home I had an email in my inbox which was forwarded to me from Marc, one of the other guys in the office.
So they beat me to ditching them (or rather they ditched me), but I didn't know it, so I guess we came to the same conclusion independently. Which is, I suppose, nice, so to speak.
Oh right, the insomnia. Ever since Monday I haven't been able to fall asleep as quickly as I normally do once I get into bed. Which is why I'm still here typing this post even though I need to be somewhere in 3.5 hours and ready to sing in about 5 hours.
Edited to add:
This was their song list.

- I don't have their emails
- I ask them to download "The Diary of Jane" and learn it, and the blah blah about my having to learn 5 songs while, if this goes through, they'd only need to learn one - ONE song isn't a big deal
- If they don't/won't/can't learn it, it's not worth my time and effort to be part of the band (giving something to them for nothing in return? no way.)
- I'm out of the country between Christmas and New Year's Day, so don't schedule rehearsals then and pretend I didn't tell them I was away
- Shawn mentioned the existence of an 'alternate' song list - I want to know what these songs are
- He also mentioned that some songs were too high for them - I could fill that role
- Next year, expect me to act in a manner to ensure that songs chosen will be more appropriate for my optimum performance
- Heed this or lose my only opportunity to participate in Geer Week

- My note, Shawn's note, and some of my notes and comments in response. I decided not to drag out the situation so I didn't actually post my response. I'm slightly amused and unsettled by the ubiquitousness of the sentiment that I should be studying something else. ;-)

- Tired and probably rather slurred babbling (22:10, 8.9MB) on a couple of points further to those from my unposted response.
- One little thing I forgot (03:07, 1.2MB).

This was their song list.
- The Offspring - Pretty Fly (for a white guy)
- SR-71 - Right Now
- Nirvana - Breed
- Tenacious D - Fuck Her Gently
