Stressbusting

Right now, I want some peace and quiet. Things are busy at work. We're building up to Christmas (which is getting really, really close), dealing with the aftermath of the facility upgrade (including power struggles between Production and Anarchist Prime, who insists on jerking people around without so much as a by-your-leave whenever a problem arises), and dealing with the aftermath of a TGA audit.

And people keep having conversations about what's going on in the corridor, right outside my bloody office! Regular interruptions I can cope with - that's okay. But when people keep talking in my doorway, it's dreadfully disruptive. It would be truly lovely to have a nice, quiet little office in a nice, out of the way location.

That said, it doesn't exist, and even if it did, I probably wouldn't like it much. I'd be getting worried about people forgetting me. A good second-best is an MP3 player with a nice, relaxing bit of classical music on it. Put the headphones on (and I have them on right now - the Brandenburg Concertos are nice and relaxing), and it blocks out all the surrounding noise. I can unwind, and stop daydreaming about that long, dull, 1000-odd-km drive home for Christmas.
