Wrong Song, Wrong Time

Friday afternoon. Nice weather. Everyone in my local office is told to go home early. My manager works in a different city. Calls me up. Tells me he's scheduling a meeting with me for 17:30 my time.....

Not worst thing in the world really, I have work to do, etc. Easier to get work done when office is empty. Look on the bright side, right?

Anyway, people are almost all gone... I'm taping away at my keyboard, doing my best to ignore all the 'weekend planning emails' my friends are sending each other... finding it difficult to focus.

I pull on my headphones and playing is REM, Everybody Hurts.... I almost feel like crying....

Nothing happening is all that horrible... work is work and all that... but you combine me working, an empty office, emails reminding me of how nice it is outside.. and then 'EVERYBODY HURTS'? I feel like an 8 yr old who figured out Bambi's mom was blown to pieces by hunters! I tell you, music can reflect your mood, change your mood... but it also really can reinforce/magnify (there's a better word out there than reinforce... anyone?) your mood.

Anyway - have a good weekend. I'm outta here in a couple hours, so I'll look back at this and laugh. :)
