Random (somewhat) work-related thoughts..

I just wanted to mention a few random things about my work..... Feel free to join in and post something random about your work biggrin

First of all I work in a Office1 store alongside studying at the university.... and our sound system in the store plays this crappy adult contemporary radio station called Létt Bylgjan (Light-Wave).... This station plays mostly the same 20 songs almost repeatedly all day long in between commercials about a Cliff Richard concert and some pretty silly announcing between songs.... It seems to me that the radio personalities have made some tiny pieces of paper, written different adjectives on each one and put them in a basket and they just pick one by random..... example : "Next is larger-than-life singer Eric Clapton".... Now I know that middle-aged men tend to gain weight, but c'mon he's not THAT fat! razz .... Another example: "And now a song by the one and only Elton John" ... Yeah, of course they have to note "one and only" because otherwise people would mistake it for a Scissor Sisters song neutral .....

Oh yeah, and we have a new guy at work... He kinda looks like the Numa Numa guy..... I haven't told him yet.....

When I worked one summer in a retail store, within a week I knew all the songs the Muzak played, it drove me crazy disbelief

I love my job now, I get to bring my mp3 player to work! biggrin

I remember when in high school I worked after school at a grocery market. The time went oh so slow because the music playing was like elevator music. mad
