The Indian "do re me"
The concert went relatively well on Thursday. Some of my colleagues turned up, a couple of dad's colleagues turned up, and a lot of our family friends attended, too, making it a rather well-attended performance. It wasn't such a big deal, however - just a 40 minute performance. But I'm glad I didn't flop it up entirely. Unfortunately, I did freeze up and forget my lyrics at two spots, and I'm certain that was spotted by people who knew music, but at least I didn't get out of tempo and start perspiring and shit. I waited a half minute or so to recall and plunged back in. As I said, it was very obvious to those who knew music even cursorily (is that even a word??), but at least I didn't make a total ass of myself.
I'm now back full swing at work, with no other distractions. And none too soon. This Thursday, we have to file a Respondent's Case (a rather hefty, substantial, and detailed court document, prior to an appeal hearing), and Boss is in Paris! He won't be back till Tuesday, and on Wednesday, him and KF, the other lawyer who is working on this, are gone all day. Thursday is when the Case is due. So Boss has told me & KF that he wants to see a final draft of the Case on Tuesday, so that we can make the final corrections and editing work on Wednesday and be ready for the submission on Thursday.
We're still doing the final leg of research work at this point.
I'm freaking out.
The plan is that I will finish research by today (Saturday) and start drafting right after that. KF and I will meet early evening Sunday with our respective portions drafted out, so that we can put together some sort of a coherent version by Monday evening. So basically, my weekend is burned.
