* Singles from SPG's 6th studio album are starting to drop! The new 3rd singer is a ball of sunshine and brings an amazing sense of joy to his songs. The new song Shattered Stars is a great example of this. Next week Ya Ya Ya drops. They haven't done that at shows yet so the song is a mystery, but it also sounds cheerful. It's feeling like joy is theme of the album. There was a lot dealing with depression and mental illness on the previous album. Quintessential was great, but it's also nice to have a mode switch.
They haven't said when Ollie and the Equinox Band is dropping yet. I'm really looking forward to that. David did a stripped down acoustic version on a livestream and I am looking forward to the actual recording with the whole band.
* I've been in phone tag hell trying to arrange Dad's cremation. How do these people not get that time zones exist? And what is their time zone with me needing to print and fax stuff, 1990?
Since I couldn't get a hold of the person, I scheduled a call with her. I was happy to think of a scheduled call. That was going to solve everything. She ... wasn't available during the schedule call or for the rest of the day. The next day she was out of the office. Now she's on vacation.
But wait, this gets worse.
She emailed me the number of a person to talk to instead, but not the name. The number cannot be completed as dialed. I've tried a bunch and it's not an error on my end. Since she didn't tell me WHO I am supposed to be reaching. calling the general number didn't help. I need to wait for her to get back at this point.
At first I wasn't worried since the funeral is scheduled so far out, but we are getting worryingly close. I bet family members are stressing out over this at this point. This better get resolved first thing Monday.
Also, I am trying to schedule a phone call with the family lawyer, but he has no secretary. There is a receptionist, but she can't schedule it. I need to do that with him. ffs...
I need to go out there for various reasons and I need to be able to meet with him when out there. I need to know his availability. I can't book tickets until I do. Especially since I am not undoing months of physical therapy by being on a coach seat for 7 hours. I need an upgraded seat. I need to book in advance for money reasons and I am quickly running out of advance. But I need to deal with the cremation first. I am about ready to give both of them a schedules of my availability since I can't deal with these calls at the office.
* Oh yeah, I didn't post about officeness I think. I am coworking and it's been fantastic. I will post office pictures and my packs lunches soon. It's great, when I am not stuck at home because I am waiting for a call I don't want to take there or on the bus.
