Professions and Music

Just had an interesting conversation with a co-worker. We were talking about music we listened to while on a deadline. I happily told him, “Definitely, Daft Punk…  I totally get a rush off them.” A few seconds later he says, “Sometimes, I listen to Spy Games or the Enemy of the State soundtrack. Like I’m on some crazy mission.”

At this point I laugh out loud and spit out my water all over my monitor. Don’t ask why I found that funny. I guess only because I know what those soundtracks sound like and I imagine my co-worker staring at his screen and getting his work done like the world depended on it or it would explode in X amount of minutes. Actually, in Master Planning, what I just described is pretty accurate. The world really does blow up if something doesn’t get done.

So then I began to wonder… if a profession were associated with a band or song what would it be? What would Architects be? What would Graphic Designers be? What would the unemployed be? Perhaps a better question is if you could describe your work day with a song what would it be?

Today… for me… that song is Right Said Fred – I’m Too Sexy no thanks to a certain someone at the office. Apparently, I was told that I was strutting my struttin stuff across the crosswalk today. So not true…
