Living in Lyrics

This is a cover of my favorite Taylor Swift song. All I can say is that it is simply amazing. Tyler Ward and whoever he sings with always make their covers better than the originals. I'm hooked.

I have been easily obsessed with music lately, but I know it's not a bad thing. This is how I see it: I love music. Music makes me happy. When I can relate to the song, I listen to it more and more. Lately, I have been listening to mushy love songs, because, well, I'm happily taken (putting it simply). I know, I know, I'm a girl, okay? Cut me some slack.

I am in a great place in my life right now. I had a great day at work, now that I am about to leave. I think it is the sense of working as hard as I possibly can for the next week, knowing I need to finish everything I've started. I don't want to leave a bad image for myself when I'm gone from MassMutual. Plus, if I keep busy, the days go by much faster and my mood is much better.

My boss finally figured out I won't be coming back this semester and he completely understood. He was a psychology/sociology major in college and he also had a lab internship. He had to work in a prison (which sounds awesome!) playing games with prisoners. That's definitely different than playing around with pigeons.

We joked about how pigeons and prisoners are alike in some ways and different in others. As he was leaving, he stopped and turned toward me.

"Kaila, in all seriousness, don't pigeons carry diseases? Can't you catch something from them?" he asked. I sat there, not really knowing how to respond.

"You know, maybe we don't want you coming back afterall. You could bring some flu or disease with you," he said as he smiled. "I'm just kidding, you are always welcome back."

Before working at MassMutual...well, even since working here, I have seen insurance agents become demanding and rude. At times, they feel entitled to having women wait on them hand and foot. But there's a good side to everyone, no matter how small and sporadic that good side is. Everyone, including rude insurance agents, can be nice and caring of others at times, even if they are making fun of the diseases you will catch from playing with pigeons. :)
