Radio
June 21, 2006I don’t want to make a habit of writing too much personal stuff here, and blogging about work is a just plain bad idea, but I have to share this.
At my current job, which ends in two days, I share an office with someone who listens to the radio. It’s actually a station I would like quite a lot, if it came in clearly. Unfortunately it doesn’t, so most of what I hear is khhhhhhh, and I’ve taken to wearing earplugs to block out the static. It’s inconvenient when people come up from behind and start talking at me.
Anyway, someone just came in to talk to me, and so I took out one of the earplugs for the short conversation. I caught a bit of what was playing on the radio…it took my brain a few seconds to parse what it was hearing, but then there was no mistake. A bluegrass cover of “I Want A New Drug”. I could not make this up.
Need to save my sanity won out over morbid curiosity, and I popped the earplug back in as fast as I could.
