The dude who sits next to me at work listens to really bad music. Okay, so I listen mostly to Classical and Baroque, which narrows my taste in music, but I think most would agree that this noise is painful to hear. I feel like I’m playing a 1990 Nintendo game. I never cared much for Nintendo. Although the guy at work doesn’t have his music up full blast I can still hear the piercing sound from his headphones. It is a very high pitched sound, think the new N trains taking off, and it is extremely irritating. I don’t like high, sharp sounds. I think he may be a science fiction/fantasy geek. Terrific. To his credit, though, he seems to be having a wonderful time listening. His head is bopping side to side and his face is making crunched up expressions. Either that N train sound is in every song or he is listening to the same song over and over again. Although it irritates me I’m glad he has a special kind of music to relate to and enjoy. We all need that. Good grief, it sounds like a space ship getting ready to launch. Our office just may take off and begin to orbit the earth.
