I hate being subjected to non stop music of any sort. i don't like going into stores anymore because of the loud
music.
Sometimes I think I would be happier if there was no music.
Strange, I guess, for someone who makes music.
What's wrong with quiet?

I can't stand hearing the same thing more than four or five times a day. This makes composing difficult.

I once worked in a meat factory - they had 1 (ONE) tape of about 60 minutes: day in, day out, all the time the same crap (e.g. Enigma's version of "Carmina Burana")...

music should often start from silence. that simple. fcuking loud gets boring when there's no contrast to it.
never stop loving music.

I haven't heard the Enigma version, but a meat factory with O Fortuna playing in the background sounds like something out of a creepy moviecptgone wrote:I once worked in a meat factory - they had 1 (ONE) tape of about 60 minutes: day in, day out, all the time the same crap (e.g. Enigma's version of "Carmina Burana")...

One day there was no music - the people working there got really upset over that, until someone put the same old tape on again.

You need something like this electronics sorcery.
Tune it to the right frequency. The mic will pick up the radio signal. You won't get high pitched feedback but horrible distorted crap. Keep it hidden somewhere and they'll have to choose a new station.
I've tried this before on annoying neighbours - very satisfying.

The radio didn't work for about an hour today. It was a pretty quick hour.
I'm really getting sick of listening to songs that are basically variations of about 4 basic ideas:
1) I want to get in your pants
2) I want to dump you
3) Teen angst bullshit
4) The Occasional Stupid Novelty Song
I need some loud, cheap speakers and a CD Player full of Merzbow.

Oh, wait, they mean surface-mount soldering, not sado-masochism. Still and all... ;-)

Keep your head down until you've got the ability to get a new job. I mean, you're complaining about working conditions. But at some juncture, you're choosing to show up there. You're not in a positition of authority that you can change these conditions -- but someone else is.
So change that. Do whatever it takes to get successful.
Maybe even start a business so you can create a job, maybe more.
Yes, it probably takes money. Are you really making any money at this crappy job? If not, why are you going there? If so, what are you doing with it?

He he! I can sympathize. I served a 4 year term in retail sales and in my first job (a really cheap-ass department store that catered to people too poor to shop at Kmart, back before Walmart hell days) they piped in some old muzak shite, which you could ignore, but when Christmas came around for some reason they turned off the muzak and played their own Christmas collection. This consisted of one 8-track cassette tape, one regular cassette tape and *shudder* one Andy Williams LP. Do you know how many times you have to hear:
It's the Holiday season
So hoopty-doo and dickery dock
Don't forget to hang up your sock
'Cos every Christmas at 12 o'clock
He'll be COMING DOWN THE CHIMNEY DOWN!
Before you go abso-fcuking-lutely-stark-raving-mad?
ONE!
(I counted)
Hear it 843,000 times in a row and . . . well, I'm out of prison now.
If you can't beat them (to a pulp), find another job.
