Hrm.

They've consolidated one of my departments. I'm not sure how they define 'consolidated', but I now have 3 direct managers and a regional director within rubber-band thwupping distance from me.

They've also jammed two dispatchers, three phone techs, and two different build labs into one room. The noise level has increased tenfold in the last week.

And one of my goddamn coworkers has a radio. Not against the rules, but dammit. It's just one more thing. She's mostly deaf, so it's loud. She listens to shitty country music (not al country is shit, but she likes the terrible stuff) - well, there WAS a Johnny Cash marathon earlier. She sings along. And can't carry a tune in a bucket. SHe had the radio when she was in another room, but she was one of the only folks there, and it was a huge room. Not anymore. The sounds of EVERYTHING echo off the ceiling and walls


There's actually a meeting later to address the noise level. The other dispatcher and I are begging to get moved into the room with our other team.

Otherwise, I'll be wearing people's entrails like party hats.

I've got a spare pair of ear muffs (shooting noise-reduction kind - sorry - no bunny parts) that you can borrow - might just make a statement about the noise level.

I don't know how these compare on quality, but I've got these on my Thinkgeek wishlist. ;)

Only $90
