Today, class, let’s talk about music. Specifically music you listen to while you work. I’m looking for ideas to bulk up my own playlists.
I have a playlist for concentrating, a motivational playlist for when I don’t feel like working. And a “Oh my gosh I am going to strangle my bosses” playlist.
This last one consists mostly of whiny white boys and features such classics as “Shut up” by Blink 182, “Shut up” by Simple Plan and “You’re not the boss of me now” by They Might be Giants.
So I’m curious to know what music you dear Dunderheads crank on your headphones or in the car when your boss (or whomever) has pushed you to the breaking point.
My favorite for treadmill work is “YMCA”
People at my job can be really loud and obnoxious so I usually put on whatever is the loudest. If it’s actually quiet, I usually listen to the Pirates of the Caribbean s/t or the Sweeney Todd s/t (the one with Johnny Depp). Unfortunately we can only listen to headphones on our breaks. I know my productivity would increase if I could have my iPod on all day.
Did you ever see those commercials where the guy is working with a bunch of monkeys in his office? And one time he calls a girl and she’s working with a bunch of donkeys? Yeah…that’s how my job is.
