Monday morning I arrived at the office to discover the production department listening to Dolly Parton. That's right, I said Dolly Parton. For an hour, I was tormented while the twangy vixen belted out her deadly melodies. Luckily, the constant phone ringing was enough of a distraction to stop the fatal bleeding from my ears.
Yesterday, after the failed country music attack, they went right for the jugular and pulled out John Denver. Although his syrupy, folksy brand of music produced much gagging and dry heaving, I'm proud to say that I am still standing.
Today, the production staff has gone a step further and is currently playing the obnoxious sounds of various 80's hair bands.
Is there no end to their torture?!?
Fortunately, I have finally come up with a defense that will, at the very least, spare me much pain and suffering and maybe even my life. Whenever life-threatening noises start emanating from the back of the office, I race to find my radio and put in my earphones. The music from the stations I have programmed is able to miraculously repair any damage that has been done to my internal organs.
Plan thwarted.

It's all a bad conspiracy against us, isn't it?
I was gonna suggest earplugs- but, luck you, you beat me to it.
I had a similar experience--I shared an office with another secretary at one of my jobs. The radio was near her and she thought that meant she owned it. Ricky Martin--ugh. That was the shortest job I ever held, just six months.
poor Grizzelda. there ought to be a law. i remember sharign an office with an old boss who had top 40 radio, the sort that's on a 2 hour rotation, all day long. that was enough to grind my molars to nubs. i feel you.
Us Fort Worth boys have to try to stick together, but anything more than a pair of John Denver songs is pretty distasteful, and is worth risking manslaugter charges to MAKE IT STOP>
Dolly Parton and Hair Bands are totally worth the risk and there may not be a jury anywhere but your hometown that would convict you.
Its almost as bad as what my poor daughter, whom I havwe spent a small fortune in Musical Training on, is listening to these days.
I worry.
Sometimes I worry a lot.
Aww... that's horrible! There is nothing worse. In my office we had dueling radios once... seriously! They were right next to eachother.. and to me and one would have on SAD FM music to slit your wrist to while the other playes Maroon 5 over and over and over!
I feel your suffering!

If I could get all the radio stations I would change mine around alot, but I can only get classic rock, so that's what I play!
