So, the other day I was tweeting about something being taken from my work space (I hate that I’m back in a cube after having had a really nice office, so I call it my “space”, not a cube.) Well, that item was my iPhone charger and dock. I brought it to the office so I could listen to music during the day.
Wait, so I could listen to good music during the day. That’s the key here. You see, this office has Muzak. Piped in. Into the office. Right. Over. My. Head.
Why can’t we have white noise machines? Or, no music? Or, hell, classical like at some libraries? The fact that there is pop rock coming on over my head makes my crazy.
Anyhow, my charger/dock was taken from my desk and I was telling my husband about it. (This is the stupid argument that ruined a perfectly fun date night on Wednesday. Nice, huh?) He says, “Maybe IT took it out of your computer…” Maybe. And took it with them? And didn’t tell me? Decided I just didn’t need it anymore?
So, now I guess I’ll be using up all of my battery to be able to drown out the crappy music. Or getting earplugs. Which do you think is more appropriate for an office setting?
Oh! And, in case you’re wondering, my soundtracks of choice are Life is Beautiful, Amelie, Pride and Prejudice, and The Duchess. But, I’d love to have some suggestions for others. Since I’m listening to these a bunch lately!

I worked in an office once that had similar piped in music and it drove me crazy also. But I do see plenty of people with their ipods and ear buds so I think you will be fine. That is sooo annoying that someone took your docking station!
