Bit of Ivory

Today at work, one of my coworkers (whom I really like) came to my desk to meter some mail. As she did so, she whistled 11 notes of a tune. A tune I immediately recognized.
“Kathy,” I said, “why in the world are you whistling ‘Theme From Flood’?”
She was very impressed. Especially as the 11 notes [...]

I’ve now officially been working at my job for a week and one day. I like it. There are still some things I’m unsure about, but most of it is starting to become familiar. At the moment I’m concentrating on the front desk, although there is a strong possibility that I’ll move to the actual [...]

So Wednesday was my birthday. It was good. There was lunch at Tucano’s (a Brazilian steakhouse) and yarn shopping and other shopping and See’s chocolate and Backer’s Bakery cake and Litza’s pizza. I bought enough yarn to make a sweater. I finished knitting a Dalek. I watched Doctor Who.
And my sister got a phone call [...]

I mean, I always knew that music affects you, but this has been such a dramatic change, I’m really quite amazed.
So, on Nov. 1, KOSY started playing Christmas music, right? Well, my boss went to change the station, but rather than changing it straight to KODJ (the oldies station) as we’d discussed, she went to [...]

Yup, it’s begun. I’ve only been listening to it for an hour, and I’m already sick of it.
I really need my boss to come in so she can switch it to the oldies station.
I dressed up for Halloween this year. I was too tired to upload any pics last night, but when I get home, [...]

So, two Wednesdays back (10/10), I decided that I wanted to prove to myself that KOSY plays the same songs and artists over and over and over again. So I started keeping track of all the songs played between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm for one whole week, with the help of KOSY.com. I had [...]
