Radio Waves

During my time working in an office, I find that it's very nice to have something to listen to, other than your own thoughts of what tasks need to be done or the sound of you typing. So it's very pleasant to have a radio in your office. However, there is a downside to this. Eventually, you will get sick of the music a station plays. Actually, only some stations will do this. But it seems like they only play songs from a very small playlist of about 10-20 songs. You might think, well what's the problem that's plenty of variety isn't it? Well it isn't... not even close. Especially if it takes about 1 or 2 hours including adds to get through the songs and you listen to the station for about 8 hours. So if we go with 2 hours to hear them all, you'll hear the same song about 4 times in one day.

Now, you think about how many days you work. 5 days a week usually so that's 5 days of listening to the same songs over and over. So in one business week you've listened to the same songs 20 times. Now you think, you've been working for a few months now. And then if you're working and listening to the same radio station for years. Holy crap! You've been listening to the same songs for a very long time.

I don't know about any of you people that may be reading this, but I can't stand listening to the same song over and over again. Even if I really like the song, I will get sick of it if I hear it so many times. I have some more complaints about the radio but I'm going to save that for another post... maybe if I post tomorrow I'll talk about it.
