I used to work in an office that had musak or whatever it is called. They would take top 40 hits but remix it and have some guy playing it on a saxophone Kenny G style....how there was never an office manslaughter I will never know.

...at least you have a radio. All I have is a fan and a glass window that looks directly at Gus's desk.

Don't get me wrong, Gus is a nice guy, but I'd rather look at someone else for once in a while.

Where's that damn epoxy coated rebar sales girl again?

What sort of application needs epoxy coated rebar?
Is it for retrofit/doweling type applications where it will bond better with the an epoxy anchor?

So anyways....back to my problem......

Which would result in a more speedy way of getting out of the misery of hearing another Nora Jones song.

A) Have someone drop a 19" monitor on my skull from the 2nd floor

B) Opening the electrical box and urinating myself into a crisp

or

C) Giving a homeless man $20 to run over me repeatedly with my car?


Any help would be appreciated.

That choice would suck, because I think the guy would just take the $20 and your car without hitting you, and you'd still be miserable...just without a car now.

Well, depending on the type of job you have - what about net radio and headphones. Or an MP3 player with your own music.....

Just a suggestion - since "A" "B" & "C" don't sound very fun to me....:p

I would agree with Mike here. Why take the chance, if you're the bum? Simply take the twenty spot and hit the road.

Hmmm....

Have you considered something less drastic, but that would potentially achieve the same result (no more repeated jazz)?

For instance, I think leaving a steaming pile on your boss's desk would probably take care of the situation. Try to get caught in the act by making barking noises or maybe a pterodactyl imitation. This would definately ensure an expedited exit from the facility.

Streaking through the office, wearing nothing but a Superman cape and screaming "I have balls of steel!!!!" might also do the trick.

Sound card went bad on my computer and damned if I remember to bring one from home(since my work won't gimme another!)


The steaming pile is a good idea......think I'll fetch some Filibertos for lunch tommorow to help the cause.

Do you have a headphone jack on the CD drive of the computer? Just bring in some music cd's and plug in some headphones.

Umm...that would require going all the way out to the parking lot.

That's definately no good.

Have you discharged all of the fire extinguishers yet?
I'm assuming you have, but I have to ask. Formality.

"....you don't have to turn on the red light ROOOOOxxxannne"

Steal somebody else's card.

Then leaving the steaming pile (SP) on their chair.


Be sure to skip everwhere you go the following day. You know, to cover your tracks.

Be sure to shake everyone's hand then look disgusted afterward, wiping your hand hastily on the front of their shirt with a horrified look on your face. That should seal the deal.

Just for our sake, play a Nora Jones CD on your computer with your new card, then go take a leak on the nearest junction box you can find, because that was a good idea and I'm curious as to whether or not it does the trick.

Some organizations like to send out a mailer / questionaire type memo when addressing situations such as this.
I'd rather just make a few quick follow-up points and be one step ahead of the competition in the morning.
