Earworms for all
Jul. 17th, 2009 09:24 amJust a quick note while I'm at work. I've got a whole new department & am being trained for the next few months. It's so awesome, because I came to help out for 3 weeks in a different department because mine was so slow, and 4 months later, I was still helping out & they asked if I wanted to stay permanently. No need to apply, no interview, and a new position that after 6 months in the department I can go to four ten-hour days a week, one 4-day weekend a month.
They've got me training in a room that's double the size of the regular department room. So instead of 2 different departments under one VP with a total of 40 people inside, we've got a room with 70 people from 10 different departments. A real mish-mash room, but it's got windows so we DO get to see the sun occasionally.
And right now the PA system is blaring 80's music (well, maybe not blaring, but I'm right under the speaker, and even though someone's covered it with a paper plate, it's still kinda loud). Someone else is listening to a contemporary pop/rock station and another person has some sort of thumping dance beat playing. At one point, the thumping beat had a very "classic late 80s, early 90s" beat going, Madonna's "Open Your Eyes" was playing over the speakers, and Pink's "So What" was playing a few cubes over. Very surreal sounds going on here.
