The bridge between music and work

February 11, 2012 at 2:44 AM

This is not from my company, but it is very appropriate for the last two months of my life.

It speaks to every "go-live" event I ever worked on two levels. First - the lyrics are true no matter the software or industry. Second - music is a invaluable way to cope and deal with everyday issues.

I've taken my viola with me on every "go-live event" I've survived all over the world - 16 total now (but who's counting?). Having my music on-hand has saved my sanity more times than I can count. Granted, I was never as creative as this corporate guy, but have played "I Will Survive" plenty of times on viola ;).

Now that my company is on "Week 5", maybe I'll have a bit more time for the likes of Haydn, Rode, and Beethoven.
