Me and My Job
No down time
My biggest challenge is the lack of down time. In most other jobs, you've got a fifteen minute coffee break and you can put everything aside and just stop for a little bit, or if you're having a really rough time with something you leave it for a while and come back to it a few minutes later.
I can't do that. If I'm in the middle of a class and there's a kid that's giving me a whole lot of grief and I have another instrument broken over here, I have to deal with that; I can't walk away and leave it.
