All right...Super Bowl Sunday!

My team is the Patriots. I'm stunned, excited, and happy that they've made it this far. Two weeks of anticipation ends tonight. Let's do this thing.

GO PATS!!

Got a nameplate above the door of my temporary workspace today, which means I am now official, and I can also now call it an office (for now. They just hired a super senior dude who will probably move into my space this month. Boo). Feels pretty good.

A lot of female vocalists today. Not complaining. It was a great change of pace! And I...

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...

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.

Pistola - Incubus

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.

Alive - Pearl Jam
Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith
Brain Damage - Pink Floyd
Brain Stew - Green Day
Blister in the Sun - Violent Femmes...

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.

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...

Viscera Eyes - The Mars Volta
Swamp Song...

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!

Stellar - Incubus
Scar Tissue - Red Hot Chili Peppers...

Remembered to e-mail myself my playlist! So here's what Pandora turned out yesterday. Like I said, it decided I was a Journey fan. No repeats, though, which is good.

Sabotage - The Great American Beast
It's Tricky - Run-DMC
Fabricated - At All Cost
Remote Control - Beastie Boys
You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC
Lights - Journey
Renegade - Styx

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...
