This, according to Typepad is my 100th post.
Thats not strictly true as i've had at least two total culls where I've been through and deleted some or all of my archives.
As I've (not so subtley) implied in recent posts, I'm not the happiest of bunnies at the moment. At work, I got promoted, but there are elements of the job now that frustrate me more than I ever thought they would. I won't go into detail here, I haven't even discussed them with my boss because at the moment I'm trying to ascertain whether its my expectations being too high or a real problem. I will say that while I'm trying to sort my head out there has been a point in each week where I haven't exactly been ecstatic at the prospect of getting up and going to the office.
Most mornings, unless I go in very early, I walk to work. Its 15-20 minutes from my house and provides me with the only exercise I get. I can't walk in silence because I find the sound of my own neuroses to be totally mind numbing, so I always have an mp3 player with me (currently a red Sony NWZ-S638which I love!) and its mostly filled with rock. Metallica, Queen, Nickelback, RHCP, Seether, Theory of a Deadman, Three Doors Down. That sorta stuff. There is the odd bit of cheesy pop, R&B, Rap, Jazz and even some country too.
Every morning in the last week, within the first 4 or 5 songs the "intelligent shuffle" has given me the same some. I don't know how. I don't know how it considers that shuffling, but every morning one of the first songs it picks to play for me is 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton.
Ironic, no?
