Inconceivable!

There's a bit more noise here at work than I'm used to. My previous office had walls, and I now sit in a cubicle. I don't mind the conversations that take place around me--I can mostly filter them out as white noise. However, last week, the guy next door decided to take a nap in the afternoon... and snored. He did it again yesterday.

::tears hair out::

What is it with me and work neighbours who snore?!?

Also, the woman on my other side is the world's loudest talker, I swear. When she's on the phone, the entire floor can hear her.

So, I'm thinking iPod. A Christmas present to me. The only thing is: I have no idea how they work. Where do you get the songs to download into them? Can someone enlighten me on this new thing I think they call teknawlogee?

Sushi again today for lunch. Apparently, with me, PMS = raw fish cravings. Told you I was a freak.

I love my shuffle (Ipod) all my music came from my own music collection, but you have to have ITunes (which you can download and use for FREE) to put music on your Ipod. HOney, if *I* can figure out how to do it, you can. It's really easy. The Ipod plugs into the USB port of your computer, and that's how you download your music. ITunes has songs available to buy, as well.

go to www.applecom/itunes. That should fix you right up.

I LOVE my shuffle - for the reason you mentioned here, tuning others out. Also for when I work out. I hate the music they play at the gym. Go for it!

I went. :-) It's all white and shiny and has more memory than my laptop! Just the thing to block out snorers.

When I worked at a studio there was a supervisor in the next cube who spent the entire day on the phone trying to make non-work-related movie pitches. At the top of his lungs. Every conversation started with, "Hey, So-and-so? It's such-and-such! Great things are happening, buddy!"

To make things worse, it drove my cubemate completely insane. Every time the recitation began he'd slam his drawing board, huff contemptuously and storm out. In, out, huff, slam, "Great things are happening, buddy!" -- it never stopped.

I found sanity and solace in headphones. They really are invaluable. :D

The sound of snoring just drives me batty. This guy seems to drowse in and out all day long--I don't know why someone hasn't said anything to him.

iPods! Gotta love 'em.

LOL. Not me. I'm constanting asking my kids to explain stuff to me. An ipod sounds cool, though!

It is pretty cool. Can't say I've figured everything about it out yet, but at least it blocks the sound of snoring!

A very useful device, then! :-)
