goodbye

began a new song a few days ago. this one has been in my head for a while, but I haven't had time to work on it. the chorus has been fairly well formed - lyrics and melody - and I happened upon a great piano line that I had recorded with no particular use in mind a few months ago. now it has a use; it's perfect for this song, which I need to write while I am still employed as the topic is very much related to being employed and then not being employed. I don't want to lose the feeling that has led me to this decision. the song will be more real and immediate that way. the intentional transition and everything it takes to make this happen.

Speaking of employment, I was so frustrated today that I was speaking very sternly (and apparently with a voice that was raised enough for many of my co-workers to hear) to someone out at Headquarters who was annoying me. It seems that I laid down the law pretty effectively because when I got off, the rest of the office burst into a series of enthusiastic exclamations and appreciative claps(!) I don't think I'm the only one who is frustrated with the BIG YELLOW Predator Drone lurking over our shoulders. Ooops, did I say that? Oh yeah, who cares, I already quit!
