Curious Incidents of a Flailing Mermaid

Highway To Hell

Soundtrack to My Life - Track three

Wooo I slept last night!

I’ve just got in from work. Chris is out til late tonight so soon I’ll be settling down to write some letters… or read a book. Either or. It depends how awake my brain feels in about 20 minutes. But, for now, I thought I’d write this while it’s on my mind.

I’ve just read a lovely email from PatrickB , which I most definitely need to reply to. Again, this is dependant on brain function. I feel a little sorry for Patrick. You see, on Saturday morning, I woke up to a few emails basically saying, “you promised me a Merit Badge, where is it?”
Right, if you know me, you’ll know that I can be very busy. Also, if I’ve ever owed you two MBs at once, you’ll know that I’ll send you one then put a reminder on my calendar to send you another in 14 days. I’m good like that! Others don’t. Just saying!
Needless to say, these emails annoyed me to the point where I had to step away before I replied using the word “fuck” OR “Do you have any idea…”
Anyway, going back to my emails I found a reminder from Patrick to get my Symposium topic answer in. So, I replied with my chosen track (today’s track) and said, “sorry I’m always late”. He responded saying it was fiiine to be later than some … he put it much better than that
I then took it upon myself to reply saying that I thought his organisation was awesome (it is) and that sometimes running things on WDC was overwhelming and pissed me off (I explained about the MB thing). His response made me smile because he’s spot on and takes no shit.

Annnnnyway, to get to my point … the track I chose for the Symposium on Saturday absolutely is not what I was going to choose on Friday. However, being put into a bad mood completely changed what I wanted to listen to. Granted it isn’t a new phenomenon: But it fascinates me nonetheless

I often think of this track in my car. A lot of places I work are in the middle of nowhere. Turning off a duel carriageway onto a dirt track can feel like you’re on a Highway to Hell…
