Disjointed music (or 'Becoming a music camel')

It’s been a very disjointed musical week for me these past five days.

With my new job I have been out on the road and on Monday and Tuesday I was in the car, finding my way around and being guided by my new, shiny satnav.  So I could hear the reassuring tones of the female voice guiding me I didn’t play any music and my journey’s were devoid of my usual musical choices to make the trip go quickly.

I was back in the office on Wednesday and I quickly had my ipod plugged into my speaker dock and had the tunes blasting out.  The only problem was the phone rang constantly and so I had to press pause every minute or so and the music was very broken up and intermittent.  Not ideal!

I also had a meeting on the Wednesday morning so there was a few hours with no music there and before you knew I was at Friday afternoon, finishing up some emails and other items before the weekend and I realised my musical listening had been very limited to say the least.

I’m thinking next week won’t be much better.  I am out and about Tuesday and I’m staying away overnight Thursday to Friday.  The only saving grace is that I’ll take my ipod and headphones on the train journey and I can play music as I work and hopefully I’ll get a chance to play some music as I drift off to sleep at the hotel.

I hope this is just a hectic settling in period and when things calm down I will be able to get back to work and play some music to soothe me through my day.  If not, then boy is that a huge sacrifice for a new role!  But I guess it is one I am willing to make.  As long as at the weekend I can blast out my tunes and restock my musical hump, like a camel replenishing it’s water supply before heading into the desert.  It may just be the only way I’ll survive.
