I worked from home this past Friday and took about 5 minutes to play some bass. It was the first time since just before Thanksgiving that I've played it. And I haven't picked it up again since.
It's not because I don't have the desire to play anymore, but because work has gotten in the way. I started a new job in 11/21/11 - a day that will live in infamy - at least in my circles. I left a job that treated it's employees like slaves with the hope of starting a new one at a friendlier place. Things started out well enough, but within 2 weeks, I was as miserable as I was at my previous job. Now, it's worse.
But this is a blog about learning the bass. I am simply posting to say I haven't given up. This is just a setback - hopefully a short-lived one. I had two goals for 2012: learn the bass and run a marathon (NYC or NJ). This new job is killing both those efforts.
However, I am back in the job market. I have to keep hope alive that I will find something new and more sane. Can't wait to pick up the bass again and get back on track.
