Fine: I enjoyed your article on music in the workplace. To me, music is like cigarette smoke, we shouldn't be subjected to either one if we prefer not to be. Just for the record, do you get more work done than your co-workers, with more accuracy?

FineYoungSinger, I like music when I want to listen to music, not when someone else wants to listen to it. LOL

I like quiet, but then again I suffer from severe migraines. But the silence is truly golden! sam

Re: tHANK you so much my dear FYS
You're so welcome, Mermaid---I know how those pesky bills can be. Have you left comments in the Community section? I'd continue to ask until they give you an answer that works for you.
Yes I love silence at work. Like right now I'm on hold, and there's this crazy hold music driving me bonkers while I'm trying to concentrate. It's crazy, because I've read books that recommend having a "soundtrack" playing in the background when you write fiction...I've tried this, and as long as it's in another room playing at a barely audable level it works for me, but with poetry I need complete silence.

FYS
I adhere to the adage
silence is golden - can't get enough of it. I especially dislike ambient noise/music and that's probably in part because my daughter is hearing impaired and white noise makes it extremely difficult for her to hear people talking. So, over the years, we created an environment that was as noiseless as possible. I guess I just got used to it and silence became my preference.
