Persistent earworm alert CDXXXIV

I've been working a lot of extra hours lately.  While I'm pleased about the increased income that accompanies those hours, there's a hamster-on-a-wheel feeling that goes with an increased workload.  Consequently, "Pulstar," an instrumental by Vangelis, has been on my mind.  Its tense, race-against-time melody makes me imagine pedaling a bike increasingly quickly and facing a tight window in which to reach a destination.

That feeling is inevitable with most forms of work, I think.
