What do you listen to at work?

that is nice. what is your work at home?.. i wanted that my work would be at home..

that is so nice.

Hi there! That's wonderful you get to work from home. I would love to be able to do that, but working outside the home is the incentive I need to get up and get out of the house each day - LOL - so I guess it's a blessing in disguise for me right now. Thanks for sharing!

wow. that is nice.. mylot has become part of your life. hehe.. well, as for me, there comes a time when i forgot mylot anymore. hehe. but i am trying right now to be back..

Thanks for your response! If I could be on MyLot at work, guess where I'd be the whole time? (LOL) I'm glad you enjoy it here so much. I love it and don't know what I'd do without it!

I agree with you that gossip should be left to certain times and places, if it is necessary. I think it's important you viewed your job this way because so much gossip can travel around school, even in the classroom. Good for you that you held to certain standards. I'm the same way as you also when it comes to monotonous jobs. I like some lighthearted, flowing music that actually, I believe, helps me work faster. It's the way I work best! Thanks for your response. Very interesting!

I completely agree with you that gossip, especially at work, is very harmful to others. The best way is just to stay out of it. I'm glad you find it enjoyable to listen to music on your cell phone. I love that on most phones, we're able to download and keep music on there so that as long as we have our phones with us, we have all our music too! Thank you for your honest response.

I'm guilty of listening to gossip also, but not on purpose either. My situation is the same as yours! I like alternative music to listen to sometimes also. I like the variety it provides, but I have to be in the mood for it. I used to listen to boy band music a lot when I was younger and really enjoyed it. I think I might've grown out of it, but there are still some songs of theirs that I really like!

I'm sorry you have so many restrictions on your job at the bank. I don't blame you for wanting to leave, and I hope everything works out for you! To be honest with you, last year I thought I might want to work at a bank since I have several years of accounting/finance experience, but since then I've decided that is not the route I need to go, and you've just confirmed even more reasons why I'm not going to pursue a job at a bank! Good for you for finding something else that you enjoy more. I can tolerate the escrow accounting job I have now since I can listen to whatever I want at work, but the challenge isn't there and neither is the pay, so I'm pursuing something else. It's been tricky, but hopefully I'll get a new "dream" job soon. Thanks for sharing!

Wow, sounds like you've worked in a variety of places. That's really neat! Thanks for sharing. I tend to get tired of listening to the same station on the radio each and every day because it seems to me like they play the same songs over and over again. However, that may not be true of your radio stations. Hopefully they have enough variety for you to enjoy! That's wonderful you like listening. I think especially for your job at the salon, having the radio on is a must because it's that necessary noise that the salon would need. If it's too quiet in a place of business, in my opinion, it can get a little awkward! Since you did nails at the salon, probably the noise will help, and you don't have to feel like you have to start a conversation with your customer because they might be listening to the radio. I'm curious - did you do pedicures too? I love those! (LOL) That's really neat all the places you've worked. Thanks again for sharing!

Yes, I did pedicures. I used to run a special where I charged $10.00 for both a manicure and a pedicure. I would let the cusomer soak her feet in the foot bath while I gave her a manicure. We had exercise equipment at this spa and when it came time for the pedicure, I would let the customer lie on a table while I worked on her feet. I also massaged their feet and legs and they enjoyed it so much! They would just about go to sleep while I did their pedicure, lol! One thing I enjoyed about being a Nail Tech was that we would talk about different things while I did their nails. Yes, we still talked even while the music was going, lol. Thank you for the best response, btw.

Sometimes the customer would go to sleep while I did her manicure, depending on how tired she was, lol! I would also massage their hands and arms while I did their manicures.

I find it very interesting that you used to do telemarketing. Were you on the phone the entire day? Was it stressful? I'm glad you can listen to what you want now that you work on MyLot! Good for you and thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Hey there! Sounds like you have some great artists you like to listen to. It's nice because it provides some variety. I know what you mean about listening to gossip. I wouldn't want others to gossip about me either, so I agree with you that the best way to stop it is not to participate when people are gossiping about others! Thanks so much for your response.
