New Levels of Low and Loud in the Den of Iniquity
Busy busy busy. Between taking care of issues for some clients and having to go away from home nearly every evening recently, I haven’t had much time for the important things in life.
Like complaining and whining about the Den of Iniquity.
But I can fix that.
This morning I opened the door to the shop and was assaulted by a wall of sound. A wall of nasty sound. One of the floor build punks had brought in a stereo system and was giving it a workout with some nasty, foul, rappish audio toxicity. Just horrible.
And this was no chintzy little boombox. I think it was maybe even a small home theater system, complete with sub. Loud loud loud. Awful.
And that’s the way it went for most of the day. He was asked several times (by several people) to turn it down, but it always seemed to creep back up. I feel my ears need to be bathed in some pure and wholesome a cappella for about a week.

See. This prooves that you look at music the same way some people look at sports. You’re very passionate about it!
Using one word concerning the stereo: hammer.

Tom, There is only one solution to the trashy music problem. Get a good MP3 player/headset and play your good music to block it out. I have had similar situations on jobs and it works great.

Actually, there’s more than one solution. Kaitlyn’s has some appeal, although it lacks subtlety. Perhaps you could arrange an industrial accident where only the stereo was damaged…you know, like an out-of-control forklift or something. The Mp3 player is a good idea, but don’t bother with the Ipod. Too expensive. Besides, I’m not sure there is that much high quality acappella music available to fill its memory!! I have an Iriver FP-790, and I like it. The Creative Zen Nano is also nice.

[…] It can get very loud in the Den of Iniquity. And I’m not even talking about the radio. […]
