Changed it up today. I was on my usual Pandora station when I ran into a string of 5 or 6 songs in a row that I'd definitely just recently heard, and decided it was time for a switch. I started with Adele and then just added a few more modern artists that I thought of, and tried to act like I was with it in terms of today's popular music. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but any change is a good change, I think.

Spent most of my day at my desk, panicking. Was asked to coordinate a teleconference and had no idea how to go about doing that. Did some research, guessed right, and it all ended up okay. I spend a lot of time worrying over nothing. Today had a lot more modern rock than classic, which I guess is okay.

Pandora seems intent on making me a Hendrix fan. Not that I hate him, it's just...I don't know. There are just other artists I'd rather listen to, I guess. I wouldn't skip a Hendrix song, but I'd be fine if he didn't come up so much.

I was only at my desk for about half an hour today before I was summoned to a different office to edit the company website. I'd be fine with that except for the fact that I'm not trained to do that. At all. But I gave it a shot, and I think I got it to work somehow. Who knew?

Was not at my desk very much at all today, and there's a good chance I won't be there at all tomorrow, so not much to report. Kind of hard for a pattern to develop over 15 or so songs.

Got the problems with my computer taken care of, so it ended up being a pretty pleasant day all things considered. It's my ex's birthday, which led to me waking up bummed out for reasons I'm not quite sure of, but other than that, no complaints. Pandora decided today was an angry day. A lot of Killswitch Engage and bands of that ilk. Interesting.

Also note the presence of Europe's "Final Countdown." How can your day not be epic if you cross paths with that tune?

My computer and I didn't really get along too well today. It might be on its last legs. And of course the company we use to solve our IT issues really can't be bothered with problems like "Pandora keeps freezing." It's seriously frustrating. Still, the time I was able to spend listening to music was pretty good. Decent variety today. Pleased to hear some Weezer.

Wasn't at my desk as much today, and might not be tomorrow, either. Still got a good mix, though. No one artist showed up too many times in the playlist. I think the most I got was 3 Mars Volta tracks. The only weird bit was being subjected to 2 dubstep tracks. Don't think I'm a fan...

I don't know how to make these posts have titles. Maybe I can't. Oh well. Another decent day. A few odd choices mixed in. Today, Pandora decided I was going to get a metric ton of Jimi Hendrix, and I was gonna like it. I think there were 6 or 7 Hendrix tracks today. Crazy!

I swear the last song ended up being "Untitled Finale," and it's not something I forced. A decent day. A lot of variety, and nothing that seemed to come out of left field.
I'm going to post today's, but that will be its own post so this one isn't too long.
So, now that I've been here for just about a month, I feel like I've got a pretty good feel for the place, and I really like it! I've tried blogs on other sites in the past and it just didn't work out. Probably because I set my expectations a little too high. So now I'm setting the bar really low. I'm not expecting anyone to read these, but I felt like sharing anyway.
I'm Cliff, and I like music. I can't read it. I can't sing. I can't play an instrument. And I DEFINITELY can't dance or keep rhythm to save my life. But I do like picking up my iPod and hitting shuffle, and I also like being exposed to artists I might not have stumbled upon by myself. That's why I think Pandora is amazing. I've been a member since 2005, but I hadn't really used it a lot until I got my first real full-time job this past November.
I blew threw my 40 free hours in one week (naturally), and was super bummed. I decided to go ahead and take the $36 plunge to subscribe for a year (right around the same time I decided to take the $48 plunge for a year here. Two awesome decisions! Go me!), and it's worked out great. It fills gaps in my day with some much needed notes, and it not only introduces me to new artists and songs, but also re-introduces me to things I'd forgotten I liked or never knew the title of. It's almost heaven until I'm abruptly reminded I'm at work when someone dumps a stack of papers on my desk to copy or shred.
Anyway, I think I'm going to keep a semi-regular blog where I share the playlists Pandora gives me. This is partially because I don't like keeping stuff to myself, and partially so I can remember some of the awesome tunes Pandora churns out so I can remember to download them. I also just find them fascinating. Much like how some people gauge other peoples' perceptions of them based on Netflix or TiVo recommendations, I use Pandora. For instance, Pandora seems to believe I love the band Journey. I've never thumbsed up (new verb) any of their tracks, but today I sat through no fewer than three in a span of a couple hours. It's just interesting.
I was all set to share today, but I forgot to e-mail myself the playlist because I was sent home early. I was stoked, but then my boss just said, "This is only because tomorrow is going to be horrible." So...yay?
I hope I remember to post tomorrow.
Until next time
