re: Listening to music at work

Even if it were a reasonable volume it would be okay. But it's not. To top it all off he desk drums with pens to whichever song. I asked him if he wanted to start a rock band but he's in his late 40's and didn't find it too funny.

I listen to music at work but I have my own office.

Like a grown up.

Hit back with some polka or Irish dance music.

My boss listens to it in his office, but I can rarely hear it. I listen, but on headphones.

Son, that's just some good ol rock n roll there, baw :spit:

Bose 35 II. They will make all your pain go away.

I wear headphones 90% of the time, even though I have my own office. My office is fairly small so it doesn't take much noise to make it out unless I close my door, which I generally don't unless I'm on the phone. Plus there's several very loud talkers in my group, so I have noise canceling headphones

Sometimes there's too much going on and I have to keep taking my headphones off to talk to someone or people keep coming into my office for something, and I will switch the sound over to my speakers at a low volume and put something fairly easy listening on.

Sometimes I read these threads add wonder what it's like to work in a cubicle.
I imagine it's like the boring office episodes.

We play yacht rock at my office. It’s easy listening and no one bitches. Sometimes this part timer will kick on the new alternative. fricking blares it. I told this guy people don’t want to hear that shite.

our office does not allow headphones. They said you cant hear phones ring, pages, people talking to you, and seem like you are trying to avoid people

I can see the logic. I think there is probably that perception in professional environments.

But I do it anyway. At least with wireless ear buds it is now a lot less obvious for anyone passing by.
