The sounds of HVAC

elfsYesterday, 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.
