I. Feel. You! So I am sure that you have...Girl. I. Feel. You! So I am sure that you have heard me go on and on about the "white noise" in the building at HQ. I feel like you have felt this past year EVERY day I step in the building to work. Why in heavens name would anyone in their right mind pay thousands and thousands of dollars to artificially produce noise in order to cover up noise. I mean the logic of it is unbelievably dumb to me. D.U.M.B. And it isn't even soothing noise we are paying for. It is like "continuous fingernails on the chalkboard" noise, or the tv stuck on "static" noise, or the "someone blowing in your left ear for eight hours a day" noise. I don't mind noise in general per se.....but I feel your pain of having no control over the continuous and distracting white noise in the the environment I work in for 40 hours a week.
