Hello. Work is sucking. Angry

What is your occupation?

Electrical Engineer.

So what exactly do you do?

Data analysis, signal processing. I work for a small defense contractor.

That sounds like fun.

I enjoy it - most of the time. Wink

Sounds like more fun than high school.

Probably - though I didn't mind the actual school part, it was the homework that was boring and a waste of time.

School and homework are boring in some subjects, fun in others. My favorite classes are Precalc, Chem, Band/Orchestra, and Music Theory. The rest I hate. I enjoy practicing bassoon and doing math/science problems, but the rest I find pointless.

Pfeh. Essays are the only thing I actually enjoy doing properly, because I can actually get some new thought into them. Never seen the point of doing thousands of bland questions in chemistry or maths or whatever, which I won't actually remember because I wasn't thinking about them at the time.

I love numbers. Each number has a feeling/personality to it. Words do too, but they're weaker and less fun.

Just came back from a quick dip at the beach.
Good times.

I've heard far too little Stravinsky recently. I love Rite of Spring!

I'm trying to decide whether The Rite of Spring or The Firebird is better. I can't.

Hearing Stravinsky in a mall is the saddest thing I ever heard.... Cry

and to think there was a full fledged riot at the first concert.

You heard Stravinsky in a mall? Odd. I never hear music at the malls I go to, though I don't go often.

The only music I hear at the malls is often the crappy pop music in the "we have more movies and games than music" record stores..

The only problem with classical music is sometimes it gets very very loud without one expecting it (as it just happened to me with headphones).

I never go to those stores. I buy my music online. The only times I go to the mall are to buy a book or clothes that I need, but not just to browse. It is convenient to have a large mall walking distance from one's house though.

I rarely find something good at those record stores, though I have done some rare bargains over the years. I mostly buy my RIO obscurities over the net though.
