Today's Soundtrack
Mar. 22nd, 2022 09:30 pmNow that I'm no longer doing the "pandemic blog" - I've no idea what to title entries.
Crazy Workplace
The head honcho of my group or rather the new BOSS, thought it would be a great idea - to schedule an office party for April 1. [They also forced all the folks with reasonable accommodation to continue working remotely - to come back into the office, with the view that there's no reason for them not to. ]

On a brighter note? The punch clock now works - so I no longer have to email my manager every time I come in and out of work.
Also plus side of going to work at the crack of dawn is I get to watch the sunrise over the city every morning on my way to work. And there's less people on the train.
People are slobs though. The trains were clean for a bit - but trying to clean a 24/7 transportation system with folks who feel the need to leave their trash behind, eat on the train, drink on the train, etc, is impossible.

I'm concerned about my blood pressure meds. ( Read more... )
On the way home from the pharmacy, they were parking huge film trailers - which are these huge trucks - 14 wheelers, that take up half a city block. Apparently my neighborhood is now a film location set. Lovely. ( Read more... )

During the day and on the commute - I listen to music to calm myself and keep my focus. I put on the head phones at 6:30 am and wear them pretty much until I get home at night.
Today's song list included:
( Very long list of songs, albeit abbreviated, I got tired of writing them down after a bit.. )
There's more - but I got tired. I've created my own radio station - with over thousands of songs downloaded to my library and more added via Apple Music subscription. As you can see? I have ridiculously eclectic taste.
Inherited from my mother (not my father) and my brother who also has eclectic taste. I get curious about music - and will try it.
Also, I adore music.
Anyhow...it's late..
I'll leave you with two music videos from that very very long list of songs that I listened to today ...
1. Forest Black's Put Your Hands Up (Acoustic Folk/Indie Americana) which haunts me and reassures me at the same time. Every time I hear it, I feel less alone, and somehow connected. There's songs and music that just makes me feel connected to the universe around me - and this is one of those songs. It also makes me teary eyed - pulls at the heart.
And
2. America Dream by Willie Jones (which is Americana/Country). It's a song that pulls me into another perspective and also pulls deeply at the heart. Painful song, but a moving one. Haunting. I remember it long after. And have often rewound it.
