So I am almost done with day 2 of my new job. Pretty cool place to work. Laid back environment and such. Job will be challenging that’s for sure. Lot of new stuff to learn but that’s why I like this job. Something I’ve really never done. Anyways just wanted to update everyone. Take care.
Memories. What a great thing to have. Was recently talking to my mom during a recent visit she and my step-dad made to Newton about how songs trigger alot of childhood memories for me. I’m not sure how other people work but for me music is the biggest trigger factor for past memories. Mostly childhood ones though.
For example the song Broken Wings by Mister Mister (a great 80’s pop song). That song for some reason reminds me of driving through an area in Virginia as a kid. It was Hershberger Rd in Roanoke, VA (I think it was Roanoke). I can picture the intersection, driving past the Bojangles chicken place, the old Firestone movie theater, the old mall there (Crossroads Mall if I remember correctly). Heard the song today again on the radio and sure enough my mind started wondering back to Hershberger Rd. Below is a Google Maps satellite link showing the location.
Please feel free to comment (use the Comment link at the end of this post) to tell me some of your memories or songs that trigger them. Music is definitely a powerful thing.
One more thing unrelated to this is the new mailing list that I’ve setup. Please go and sign up with your email address so you get updates when new things are done to the site. Thanks and I expect all of you to sign up. There is a link for the Mailing List also over on the right hand side as well.
Well I finally got a new job that is a permanent fulltime position. I will be starting this new venture on September 26, 2007. This new job will put me only 15 minutes from home reducing my drive from around 90 minutes a day roundtrip to just about 30 minutes a day roundtrip. I know my wallet will thank me when it comes to gas and the car will thank me for not driving it in the ground anymore. My last day at my contract job will be September 25, 2007 and then I’ll hit the ground running the next day. Wish me luck!
Well I uploaded a boat load of new pictures. Check them out in the photo gallery. I uploaded over 100 new pictures. Granted some are old but new to the gallery. Enjoy.
