Summer Camps

In bittersweet news, today ends the last MTMS   summer camp of the year. On the one hand, we have less fun pictures, videos, and status updates to share on social media (which has been great for those arbitrary rankings on Klout and WebsiteGrader that don't mean anything to our actual sales volume.) On the other hand, the studio will be peaceful during the day, allowing our office staff to catch up on much-needed paperwork.

I freaking hate that word. Paperwork. Because it's so antiquated. We live in the digital age, people. Why do we have paperwork?

Also on the plus side, advertising and running summer camps stresses me out, because it's not what we do best. We run a damn good summer camp, but we aren't so great at filling them. That's okay, though. We're filling the studio with private music students, which IS what we do best. I think we're around 255 and climbing, but we're so behind on our "paperwork" that I can't be sure.

I have pages and pages of emails in my inbox. I have a to-do folder an inch thick. I'm ready to feel on top of things again.

I keep saying I'm busy, but one problem is Harry Dresden. No, seriously. I can't put the flippin' books down. I'm on number... 11? 12? It's called Turn Coat, and I'm at 95%. I'll finish it and immediately pick up the next book. I don't know what I'll do with myself when I catch up with the author and run out of books to read, but it might involve paperwork.
