I work in a design office with 4 other designers.

I am the oldest.

We have music blaring in the background, which is cool.

But as of late the music is scary gangsta rap music.. its a pile of shit. Its not the best music to listen to if you need to concentrate.

And my music taste isnt bad. Not at all!

But they all seem to like it.

I dont wanna moan or come across as *old* and *uncool*

I could stick my headphones on and listen to my kinda music, but I guess they will think I am a sad bastid

What would you do in this position?

have you been there the longest?

because you could pull the senority card on them

lol With me?

REDFEATHERS said:

well how about make some mix cds with your music and their music and play that, so everyone is happy.

or just put on your headphones lol

Pop a cap in that shit, sista. Then play your Barry Manilow

Maybe U could suggest all taking it in turns to put an album on?

That way, they'd get their music most of the time, and you'd get your go too...? Nice and democratic..




....or U could just go in there with an armful of decent records next time U got PMT..that way U could watch them just crumble before your eyes...?

just don't go to work any more

... as far as I can see you have 2 choices...

1) March over to the music system (note... must include loud stomping of feet...), Press stop, preferably with a LOUD cough so everyone can see what you are doing and REMOVE CD and throw into the far corner of the room saying BASTAAAAARRRRRDSSSSS!!!!!


or...


2) Sit there quietly, with your own stuff playing on your headphones.... don't matter what they think does it???

Yes.. you!

I posted a thread called *There's Others Here With Us* in the Prince forum and you emailed me and told me, nobody is reading my thread cos it doesnt look exciting and you told me to change it to *Prince sees Ghosts*

Then everyone laughed at me.. it all went down hill after that

hon...quite frankly, here's what I'd do...
either turn the radio station to something more suitable and glare very evilly at everyone...
...or...
...take the CD out and smash it into pieces, then glare at everyone
works pretty good for me

but, then again, I am The Mad Monkey...no one messes with my insanity...
