Today is the first day of my new job! I have been working in a supermarket these past few weeks part time and volunteering one day a week at the local college, helping students when they have a problem. One of the girls at the college left and I decided to go for the opening and got the job! My first fulltime employment in about 8 years! :o I will be a Learning Assistant. I'm not a teacher as our courses - maths, English and IT - are on the computer. I will be doing the things I was doing as a volunteer and dealing with the admin. Bit nervous!

I was going to post this as part of Ken Jennings' thread: http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?/topic/80659-your-five-least-favorite-songs-ever/page__st__180#entry2997223 But figured it's good for a thread of it's own. I'm currently not working (due to the Gubmint shutdown), but when I am, I have had my share of Music Wars. My latest has been with two Latino ladies in the aisle parallel to me that play one of the local FM Hispanic stations. As they sit in two cubicles next to each other, they use the radio's speaker, so they get a pass on that. Most of it I ignore-I'm listening to my music on headphones anyway. It's just the Anglo stuff the station plays is particularly vomit inducing, and when that comes on-You're Beautiful is a particular station favorite-I pull out the headphone plug out and let whatever I'm playing blast away. My boss joked for me to hit 'em with some Rush, and I responded, "Oh, no, Rush is good, but I have better weapons for my aural assault and battering". Such as ELP, Yes, Coheed and Cambria, Kraftwerk, Ozric Tentacles, Brand X, etc. I once threw some of the sound effects from Elliot Mazer's The Digital Domain, one of the first CD I ever owned. That'll teach them! Frank Zappa's Jazz From Hell is another winner. How about everyone else? Let 'er rip!

I have a couple of sets of passwords at work - some corporate-given, one that is of my own choosing. Way back when I made it, I just one of my usual passwords. Well, a few days ago, the system told me I had to update the password to something new. I decided to go with something Rush-related, thinking it would bring a little smile to my face at work. Boy, was I right! I'm still getting used to the new password (old habits die hard!), but everytime I punch it in I get a little happy feeling inside. Why did I never think of this before? Anyone else do something like this, add a little Rush to their day?
