dominator2010's Journal: someone forgot to turn it off

A coworker left their music running. I can hear it coming from the speaker inside the computer. It's this mellow, trance sort of music. Not really in my tastes. I can tolerate it, but the reason I come in early is for the quiet. It's oddly annoying and soothing. All while distracting me from whatever is at hand.

I suppose I could turn his computer off. I don't think that would go over very well. I could also put on my headphones, but I'm really sick of having to put them on as a means to stay sane. If I was really smart I would have thought to put them on his computer, then I'd have to explain why he has a nice set of headphones on his desk. And he's the sort of person that would likely keep them and explain to me that I was giving them to him as a present.

Music

I forgot to turn off my music when I went to lunch today. Oops.

Use the headphones...

But plug them into his computer. That should at least reduce the sound level... (That's what I do when the guy who sits behind me leaves his music going when he leaves his desk...)

Strange...

That he would think you inconsiderate if you turned his computer off, but doesn't think leaving his music on isn't inconsiderate.
