I just wanna dance with my shirt off!

Why have I ignored the bliss of giving my ears and mind the best gift of all for so long?! Music, how it treats my soul. I remembered that after the first 3 seconds of playing a song be this band. Back when I lived alone if I wasn't watching a movie I had music blaring from the weak speaker on my laptop. Now, I have headphones on to drown out the noises of my coworkers talking about a cheating subcontractor in Tunisia. Sometimes I can't stand being in cubicles. There are offices in here...go there to talk.

Anyway, music always helped me through all kinds of things. I can't believe I have gone so long without buying new music or downloading MP3s. I need to fix my laptop and get back on the music train.

I miss having a random schedule because it just felt like I had more time even though I probably had less. Now, I am on such a set schedule I feel so drained! Get up a quarter to 8, drive to work, sit at work, get home half after 6 or so, make dinner, clean up, sit and watch a movie or play a video game, shower, bed (sex if I'm lucky/not tired!). Yeah, not much time for music listening in there. I need to charge my iPod and update the music on it....

I haven't updated lately because I've been busy with Desktop Tower Defense! No really, I've actually been pretty busy at work. Lots of advisors moving, new subcontractors to train. Also, I interviewed and have a new job lined up! Pending a background investigation, and as long as they don't discover my obsession with Nerds Candy, I should be cool. Once the actual background check is complete I'm thinking about telling my current job in the hopes that being honest will pay off in the end. Besides, they can hire someone new and give me plenty of time to train them. Ideally. I have quickly learned that professional contracting is rarely "ideal". It's chaotic and unpredictable at best.

The holidays are upon us and that generally puts me in a better mood. As in, I smile at the tree and then grimace at my laundry or cat or dirty dishes...whatever is the plague. I downloaded Wham!'s "Last Christmas" on my phone for a new ringtone. The song doesn't apply to me in the least because I'm Oh So Fortunate to be in love this holiday season, but maybe I just like George Michaels!
