The sounds of HVAC
Dec. 18th, 2007 08:56 amYesterday, my chair ate my headphones. It's been threatening to do that for years, as the headphone's wire is just thin enough to get caught under the wheels of the chair. I have (and prefer having) a long extension cord for my headphones so that I can maneuver in this office with the computer way under the desk and all.
The chair didn't just eat the headphones, though. Not content with destroying my hundred-buck sound-cancelling headphones, it also ate the extension cord.
This morning I forgot to bring my iPod with me to work. Normally, that wouldn't be a big deal; I don't go to the gym on Tuesdays and I can miss one or two episodes of Daily Japanese without falling too far behind.
But now I have to sit here and listen to the rather loud HVAC system constantly running, and every time I sit down to tackle a project my hands reach for the pair of headphones that aren't there, and my psychic train creaks on its rails, if not quite running off. Arrgh.
