pianist hired

yes, I am a working woman again. I never imagined that at age 68, I'd be applying for yet another new job. I was getting a little worried about my bank account, and had sadly resigned myself to depending on my husband for any spending money and all that goes with that. Lorna told me of an opening at So. Cache middle school for a choir accompanist. I got on the phone right away. To make a long story a little shorter, after talking to the choir director, I volunteered to go in and help him out till they found someone. (Tricky, eh?) So, on Wednesday (a week later), I had an interview and was offered the job. It pays a little less than what I was getting at the last place, but like Lori guessed, it's not ALL about the money. I play for three hours a day. Unfortunately the hours are not back to back, so I have to think of something to do for 1 1/2 hours in the middle. I am out of the house from 9:45-3:30 every day. That doesnt leave much time for all the other things I have to do. I havent seen tv, read a newspaper or my mail, or put anything away since returning from Las Vegas! Gas is now $3.81, and I have to fill up about every 10 days. I guess I will have a little to spend.
