The powers that be have decided our office should be head phones free! So... no longer will I be able to while away an afternoons link building whilst listening to the melodic drones of The Cure. No longer will I be able to engage in witty web banter with my virtual buddies with the contemporary stylings of Minimal Techno in my ears. No longer will i be able... well you get the idea...

Music = detachment = concentration = productivity... der!

Its a good plan david! I was also thinking of walking in one morning with a ghetto blaster on my shoulders and casually sitting it down on my desk with some hardcore gangsta rap blasting out! Well they never mentioned ghetto blasters in the memo?!

I use my ipod to listen music at my work place. I just told them that they will get the work on time which they assigned to me and above that they should not be concerned about anything else. How I am doing, what I am doing.

mattinertia, there is ofc an easy way around your problem, it just requires a little underhand tactic, thanksfully, i am well versed. It is coming into the winter now (hoping you are UK?), all you need to do is find the office heating/air con controls, and simply pull the fuses to the heating and jam the air con on max. Then in order to keep warm you wear your big wooly hat with the ear flaps that also brilliantly conceal your inner ear phones. The alternative involves major ear surgery so isnt for everyone.  Wink

No Air con or heating! So its gonna get cold enough soon without me even manipulating the matter... Ear muffs would work great?

The other option is to play my music through the PC speakers. Now, im pretty sure most people in my office wont like techno and the headphones ban will be lifted soon enough! HA!

My preferred option would be to tell them to poke their job and go start up on your own..... Grin

Just tell them that you are listening to porn .... and
what they demand constitutes sexual harassment.

Alternatively, you listen to the material provided by
your religious leader Rabbi Yogi Ravi Shankar as an
aid to achieving enlightenment and enhanced productivity.
Any restrictions would be an infringement of your civil and
religious rights.

Or get out the shoe polish and claim racial prejudice and
discrimination. Dreadlocks, a spliff plus a big floppy cap
might also help to conceal earphones Huh?Huh?

ROFL, great post! Karma added. I particularly like the converting to a rasta idea.

So you're into techno? this is even easier, since all techno music sounds exactly the same, and there is no real need to "hear the words" you could hook the ipod straight into a vibro office chair, literally feeling the music. The benefits speak for themselves as not only would you get around the headphone ban, but you could rent your chair out to female colleagues during your lunchbreak making a tidy income and you the most popular man in the office.  Wink

Well, actually, i have been a DJ for 16 years+, i work full time in the entertainment industry, so i have a pretty good feel for music, although not as much FEEL as the ladies renting out that vibro chair! lol
