I’m in the process of updating the music on my iPod. I listen to it at work, because when you work in finance the silence can be deafening, and it’s better than a radio because I can listen to stuff that’s not exactly appropriate for work and no one is the wiser.
With the holidays fast approaching, I wanted to put some Christmas music on my iPod and take off the Halloween music. I started by going through my Holiday playlist and adding the songs I wanted to my list.
(For those who are wondering, I have a playlist in iTunes called “Upload this list” and I have it set to automatically sync to that list only, which makes it easy to manage what I’m listening to at work. Then I just put the iPod on shuffle for some mindless listening.)
I ended up with a playlist that was over the memory size of my iPod, so I needed to weed some things out. Shouldn’t be too big a deal, because I have a habit of downloading free stuff. Amazon.com
Problem is, when I’m at work and I come across a song that doesn’t really do it for me, I don’t have time to write it down so that I can easily remove it from my playlist. Instead I wait until 11pm when I’m furiously trying to update my playlist by sampling every single song and deciding what goes and what stays.
I forgot to update this during the 4 day holiday weekend, so I had to listen to the voices in my head all day yesterday at work. Since it’s very late on Monday night as I’m writing this, Tuesday will be much of the same. By bedtime (or way past bedtime, since I tend to stay up way too late) I wasn’t even through the C’s. I guess I know what I’m doing after work today if I want to listen to music at work ever again.
Do you listen to music at work? What do you listen to?
hmm..going to be seriously listening to your recommendations for shopping. I should know you are majorly saavy. Amazon rocks! They even have the watch I have been in love with and too cheap um..I mean frugal to purchase…at a huge discount!
kaila, Amazon really is the best, especially for stuff like that! I had no idea that they had free music until someone told me, and there is quite a bit of it that isn’t to my taste, but hey! it’s free!
Last year they did a 25 days of Christmas thing where they had a new free holiday song every day. I haven’t seen anything about that this year, but I will be checking.
