We can't have headphones because we live on the phone- still Sad FM hasn't been too bad today.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-83395818089476863562010-02-13T18:20:56.482+00:002010-02-13T18:20:56.482+00:00Oh god, this is my all-time workplace not-so-secre...Oh god, this is my all-time workplace not-so-secret loathe. I'm a bit of a music snob, and feel almost physically ill listening to Bland FM. <br /><br />My last job was quite good because it was really quiet and people listened to their own music on their headphones - which worked a treat! <br /><br />xxTop Bird @ Wee Birdyhttp://www.weebirdy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-58646547820601019142010-02-05T17:42:09.481+00:002010-02-05T17:42:09.481+00:00Sounds very noisy in your office Rose!

I don't hate Magic as much as Sad FM/ Heart- Magic is knowingly cheesy and for your Mum where as Heart makes out it's in some way credible when it's like the radio equivalent of tesco- yeuurrcch. Prescious is on the film to do list- high up! x<br /><br />Hi Ines- thanks lovely, and at least no one sings along in our office- that is a blessing x<br /><br />Hi Tania- I think a lot of the stations are designed with the idea very few people listen all day- so when you do you are basically getting the same hour over and over- just laziness really on their part. Hope all's good with you x<br /><br />Hi Fran- how could anyone not want Radio 4 on all the time? well actually saying that I'm a music obsessive too but when Radio 4 is on all is right with the world isn't it? x<br /><br />Hi MM- no headphones allowed :-( but you are right about silence- sometimes I put my headphones in on the bus but don't turn them on. An older but not old man said to me recently on a trip to the country that though he loved London he found it so loud. I hadn't thought about that before but he's right, it's relentless- which is sort of what I love but it does mean you appreciate the quite moments x<br /><br />Hi Cassandra- I feel the same about Radio 4 and was also born middle aged when it comes to that, tea and enjoyment of murder mysteries, sometimes of highly dubious quality xRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-74912824740214611062010-02-03T09:44:13.747+00:002010-02-03T09:44:13.747+00:00Oh Rose, you have all my sympathy, back in the mis...Oh Rose, you have all my sympathy, back in the mists of time when I worked fulltime I had exactly the same problem. I would listen to Radio 4 in my sleep if I could - but then, I was born middle aged. If I die and radio 4 is on, I'll know that I've reached Heaven after all.

Before I was a lady of leisure and had to go to one of those dreadful places they call office, I found myself hiding underneath my headphones for most of the day. Sometimes there wasn't even music playing. Silence. Sometimes the greatest sound of all.Metropolitan Mumhttp://www.metropolitanmum.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-26960942701840995922010-02-02T18:58:52.741+00:002010-02-02T18:58:52.741+00:00Sounds like my house.

I've never worked in an office which allowed a radio on - shops and factories yes, but not an office. So to me the whole idea is weird. How can you even concentrate? I can barely stand Capital FM in the morning for long enough to hear the traffic and weather! Listening to it all day would be like water torture. If I were in your place, I think both radios would have unexplained 'accidents'.... ;-)Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16033325684252709482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-54841922038711347222010-02-02T15:18:52.096+00:002010-02-02T15:18:52.096+00:00Oh, I feel very sorry for you.

Plus, this must add to the level of stress we all feel at work.<br />I'm really glad we don't have such a problem at my office - if you want to listen to sth, use your ear-phones. And singing along to what you're listening to is highly discouraged. :)Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-1789373535515778492010-02-02T15:15:54.000+00:002010-02-02T15:15:54.000+00:00I think most offices have something V similar..

And the music.<br /><br />I'm listening to R4 as we speak, and I know of nothing that keeps me so productive!<br /><br />As for Precious.. Just see it! I love the fantasy scenes. They're so sweet, and so very relateable. We all like to escape, and they puncture some truly HORRIFIC moments.<br /><br />xxLewis Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11221806939595415819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-54987504310036533782010-02-02T12:14:01.371+00:002010-02-02T12:14:01.371+00:00Hm... can either radio discreetly 'break' ...Hm... can either radio discreetly 'break' - going along with Marie's idea! Failing that, can you work with your ipod on? Or ask both sides to turn their volume down a bit, so you guys in the middle are not forced to listen to weird mash ups?<br /><br />At one place where I worked, I had to write lots of copy while the boss insisted on blasting out his latest DJ set. At least now I find it easy to write with distractions! But radio is another matter - the ever-decreasing circle of their playlist day in, day out is just soul destroying. I agree - drastic action needed!Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-7646014612843199892010-02-02T11:59:08.896+00:002010-02-02T11:59:08.896+00:00Oooh, that would drive me insane.

Perhaps one radio could commit suicide off the shelf? Or be taken hostage until it agrees to regularly circulate the channels? I think this could call for drastic action...Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034963362014160492noreply@blogger.com
