I think I'm going to claim some me time #Selfcare #workcanwait #creative #makemusic
I'm waiting on a bus to come and that bus will drop me off at my place of employment at about 10 minutes after 2:00 p.m. I'm supposed to time in at about 2:30 p.m. but, I have a different plan. I think what I'm going to do is inform them that my bus didn't come and mozian in an hour late. In that time across the parking lot from where I work is a large grocery store that has pretty nice quiet little dining area where I'm going to sit down with a little device that I carry on me called a Dirtywave M8. It's kind of hard to describe but basically it's what's called an audio tracker. It's a device that has an FM synthesizer, a wave synthesizer, and another type of synthesizer based off of a program called braids don't ask you to have to look it up. It also has onboard stereo sampling and sample playback. Which allows me eight individual tracks to create any kind of music that I wish on the go and on the fly. I carry this thing with me almost everyday and I never ever get a chance to use it. I try to slip it in take with little time I have between bus stops and throw down at least some kind of idea or some kind of sketch of some kind of musical whatever it might be rolling around in my head. However time is fleeting and often it's much shorter than it sounds on paper. An hour sounds like a lot of time but when you're waiting for a bus an hour can go by very quickly. That and also when you get into a group or an idea strikes you all of a sudden that hour can turn into just mere minutes in the blink of an eye. So, I don't feel all that great today. Not so much mentally but more physically my body hurts my stomach doesn't feel great and work is a stressful stressful place to be often with very little reward then just being able to finish a shift without strangling a customer or without wanting to throw yourself off the edge of a cliff. So I'm going to give myself an hour and go in late today and the rest be damned.
