Ahh Wednesday !

Maybe I don't like February because of Valentine's Day, but, I love Wednesday.
Not because it's my last day of Orchestra Week, but, because I love Wednesday. The mood is not the same.

In fact, this week was a good one.
3 concerts in a row, I made 10 days without week-end, my colleagues are doing 15 days without week-ends. Thank God, Sunday concert is the last of the big rush.
This week was nice. Sunday's concert will welcome a Kid Orchestra, and it's sooooo hard. Yesterday, Emilie and I spent the entire afternoon sending confirmation emails to the kids and families who bought tickets ! So crazy ! Crazy names, crazy tickets, and crazy answers :
"We don't want to assist to your concert, we just want to see our kid so, we don't need to pay 10 euros, we will leave just after their performance..." 
... Well, you pay 10 euros for 15 minutes, the others 40 euros or more for 2 hours, they refuse to hear the doors and noise of you parents who doesn't want to stay 2 hours !!
"Oh, don't worry if you cannot find me a place, I will stay stood up somewhere in the theatre"....
...Well, no, won't stay stood up in a little corner of the theatre when the others pay a seated place !

Crazy. But we laughed a lot.

After that, I saw that A Joker's Rage was number one on La Grosse Radio ... (check), and saw, I sent crazy emails to Maggie, and he sent others to me.

But, the best of this Wednesday was this morning, in the train.

Usual, I take the 8:18 train, 30 minutes from home to Paris-Saint-Lazare. Because it's hard to wake up, I choose to take the next one, 8:22, 40 minutes from home to PSL. 
Monday morning, halfway, a man and woman get in the train with their baby girl, around 18 months I think. 5 minutes later, the Mum gets off the train, the girl screamed until we arrived to Paris, so during 20 minutes.... (because, we don't know why, the train stopped in the middle of nowhere).
Yesterday morning, same train, Saint Cloud, same parents and girl, La Défense, the Mum gets off, the girl same cry. 
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This morning is Wednesday morning, maybe the mum doesn't work on Wednesday morning, or they missed the train, or choose to take another one, well I don't know, but this morning : no parents and baby girl !
I know that sometimes it's harder for the parents of the kid who's crying, because, they (usual) do their best to calm the kid, and it doesn't change a thing, if the kid wants/needs/whatever to cry, he/she will until ... until I don't know. But, believe me, it's awfull to have a kid's crying in your hear around 8:40 in the morning ! (and, thanks God it's at 8:40, not before !!) I tried to find some tunes that will be able to cover her cries, but... didn't find a lot !!

Now, Wednesday is almost over, as I was telling to Maggie, Orchestra Week is over, now, I can re-open the rock file that is in my head ! And believe me, I think that I have a lot of things to do this week : AJR PR, Josh's bio, iMMa's gig...
