Pandora

I mentioned pandora.com to a friend, because he had forgotten his mp3 player, which didn't really help since he didn't have this headphones either. I hadn't listened to pandora in a long time, because I was discovering too many new artists. Last year I acquired 218 albums, over 1 album every other day, and that's without using pandora. I decided to listen my Bitter:Sweet station and when I got home I downloaded 22 new albums. 2 were albums that were released that day, but the rest were from pandora. One was Hotel Costes with was a lounge compilation and there were 10 albums and the other was Quantic who had 10 albums of his own. Those recent acquistitions has put me up to 78 albums for 2008. I do listen to all of them on a regular basis too, anything new I get I take with me to the work and I keep all my music on one playlist.

Today was a very boring day I read some XXXholic and Street Fighter III manga and I tagged and sorted my newly acquired music. Mp3's are almost never labeled the way I like. Most of the office was away at some class this morning so was very unmotivated.

In charge

The boss is away again, this time she actually put me in charge. Last time she was gone, one of the other seniors brought it to her attention that I was neglect, so maybe that's why she put me in charge this time. So far I haven't actually had to do anything. But my main duties are to make sure the gate is closed and that the phones are covered.

The cake is not a lie

I was slightly worried, because no one on the construction side has a birthday day in March, so my boss wouldn't been making a cake. I had forgotten that she often brings us leftover treats. Today she brought in part of a drum kit made out of cake. She made this for her son, who apparently plays the drums. The snare was solid chocolate cake, bass was angel food cake, tom tom was a checkerboard cake, the cymbal was a giant sugar cookie, and there were pretzel drum sticks. the drums had white frosting and nice icing details. She brought us the cymbal and half the tom-tom.

I had a semi busy week. I finally got some certs, but after weeks of doing nothing I'm slow to get to them. Then I had two days of class which slowed me even more, but gave me an excuse for having gotten anything done. I have websites that I like to read daily and it's difficult for me to work until I read them. After two days of class I have a back log of stuff. I actually did some work today but it feels weird, because I'm still not caught up on my readings. Part of my readings including a daily sudoku and crossword in Wichita paper website, that's surprisingly not blocked. I really need to do more of these, because I'm slow, my mind has become dull. If only I had the drive of when I first started two years ago.
