workaday Wednesday

Since it is unseasonably warm at the moment, a post about going outside at work!

1. I work near an airport, which means every once in a while a very low-flying plane will go over while I’m out walking. This constantly gives me the urge to throw my hand up in the air, Free Willy style. I have polled 1 (one) other person, who said they do not ever experience this feeling. Maybe it’s just me?

*PS: While I love the Wonder Woman stance, I think Free Willy may have given us the ultimate confidence pose: one hand up, defiant, while an orca leaps over your head.

2. I often walk (on lunch break) along a short dead-end street. It ends in a loop (for trucks to turn around) — sometimes people park down there to smoke, and sometimes it’s deserted. When no one is there I like to indulge in dramatic sing-along hand gestures to whatever I’m listening to.

*PS: So disappointed yesterday when there were a couple cars there, because the song ‘Evermore’ from Beauty & the Beast had just come on, which is really A+ material as far as overdramatic hand gestures go.

*PPS: For any Pandora music listeners, the ‘Walk the Moon’ station is a wacky-but-fun combo of ‘fast tempo songs in the style of Walk the Moon’ and ‘Disney soundtrack songs.’ I have no idea why, but I like it. Yesterday I went right from ‘Mr. Brightside’ to ‘I’ll Make a Man Out of You’ from Mulan.
