Found Music

One of the unexpected perks of my job is finding music left in the CD ROM drives while re-imaging the PCs of employees who have left the company. Most of the time what I find is trash, but occasionally I run across something that I find interesting enough to listen to all the way through and become quite enchanted with.

Most recently it's been Miles Davis' Blue Miles.

Despite my long-time love of jazz, Mr. Davis has never really been on my radar. This album however, may provide the impetus to explore his music further. It's proving to be my favorite morning commute soundtrack—especially since the local jazz station is in another one of their seemingly never-ending fund drives.

"But Aren't You I.T.?"

That was the response from a coworker this afternoon after I replied, "And why are you telling me?" when she came to my cubicle and announced that one of the microwave ovens in the break room wasn't working, thus confirming that the attitude at my workplace is that if it's electrical and plugs into a wall, it's my responsibility.

Seriously.
