I play in a symphony orchestra. Not exactly conducive to working from home....

You just play really really loud. . .

Some friends of mine are actually hosting a virtual concert.

I do already. It really pisses off the English horn player.

Unless you live next door, you must have some serious lungs (fingers ?) to play from home and still annoy him ;)

We should get all the musicians (and drummers) of Oppo together virtually and cut some tracks or jam over Skype or something.  Then we could sell the album later and become millionaires! 

(I’m the drummer...hence the joke)

I have no choice but to work for now because I can’t afford not to and people still need cars fixed, but if it does come down to staying home I am really looking forward to some woodshed time on the kit. Also have a little synth to dick around with, I’d like to start figuring out and recording the riffs that constantly play in my mind.

My boys are out of school for three weeks, so I’ve started making some quartet arrangements that we can play together. It started with Happy Birthday for my dad’s 80th last Sunday . I might record one of them and share it here. After a few rehearsals, of course.

I make $1,000 a week working from home. All you need is a live cam and 200 subscribers!

Was that an intentional  pun? Because it’s a pretty good pun.

I must have outpunned myself, because I don’t see it...

Speaking of synths and having time to kill, a friend posted this link earlier.

“We would like to speak with the owner of the 2010 Mitsubi —”

“He’s dead, you insensitive fartknockers.”

That actually worked for a while.

N ow you’re all finding out what I’ve known for years: working from home sucks.

Oh I used to get telemarketer calls to the house I lived in (yes, on a landline) and the number used to be in my deceased grandmother’s name. I had fun telling them why she couldn’t come to the phone.

Orchestra, conductive, conductor...

ttyymmnn > BigBlock440 03/17/2020 at 15:16

Well, yeah, but I never considered “conducive” to be related to “conductor. ” It is, but only in an older usage .

Honestly, I think it’s the only thing those scumbags listen to, which is sad.

I’ve done every Tuesday and Friday for a good while. I never wished for more than that, but here we are.

That’s because you think like a rational person and not a pathological wise ass. If you were, you might have found a way to slip the “t” in there to emphasize the poor joke.

Many years ago, we were playing a concert outdoors under a tent with giant metal tent poles. A big storm struck with thunder and lightning, and the musicians started to cover up and pack up. The conductor, Sidney Berg, hissed, “Keep playing!” but we stopped anyway. I turned to the guy next to me and said, “Sid had nothing to worry about from the lightning.  He’s a terrible conductor.”

That’s a true story.

If you planned that, I’m proud to know you, but if you didn’t, it’s truly epic.

I planned it. I was riffing  on a joke I already knew.

A joke everyone already knew.

Still earns my star!

Yeah, but even the old chestnuts are good when the timing is right.

I vacillate between believing it’s a bunch of scumbags who deserve to be told off, and believing the scumbags are sitting by a pool in Vegas while they hire a bunch of minimum wage people “ Just Trying To Get By” to make the actual calls, and you’re the scumbag for making them feel bad.

Depends on the day.

I already had to go for a long drive in the rental car to cool off. I hate everything and today was especially bad.
