10-Minute Warning CLXXXI

Since I’m heading out to my safe space and have a caffeinated drink, what can I share here under 10 minutes?

Firstly, let me rant for a while: In my current job as an admin assistant, I expect a lot of billings during the first week. I got used to working on those billings, but what I’m still not used to is checking a set of reports handwritten by one of our employees. His reports are fine… except that the way he writes the letter E looks like a fusion of the letters B and R, and that hurts my head every time. Ugh.

Anyway, what else? Oh… Lately, I noticed that whenever I listen to music on Spotify, sometimes it plays the perfect song or at least a line or two whenever I do something. For example, last Friday night, I heard the line “I took a sip from my devil’s cup” from Britney Spears’ “Toxic” (one of my favorite Britney Spears songs ever) when I took a sip from my favorite Jack & Coke Zero.

The music video of Britney Spears’ “Toxic”.

Since then, I have been calling the aforementioned drink “The Devil’s Cup”. Thanks, universe, Spotify, and Ms. Britney!

…and my 10 minutes are almost up. I need to go. See you in the next post, and have a nice week ahead!

XXIX: Ranting About Work & Raving About a Foo Fighters Music Marathon

Finally, the weekend is here, and I’m about to have a celebratory Jack & Coke Zero tonight. (This is also in celebration of the Foo Fighters’ 30th anniversary.)

But first, let me have a short rant about something that happened at work several weeks ago. (If you don’t want to read my short work rant, just click here.)

Song of the Moment XC: Air Supply’s “Two Less Lonely People in the World”

Air Supply’s “Two Less Lonely People in the World” (one of my favorite mellow songs ever) is my Song of the Moment—and it’s not because I’m listening to it repeatedly. It’s because of a few lines from the chorus that got stamped in my mind all day.
