Radio at Work

[wurzel]

I've been in my new contract for 2 days now & I have to say, it's pretty much ok. Just one weird thing though, at 10 am every morning Radio 1 is piped into the office & is on all day. I've never come across that before - on a factory floor, yes, but not in an office. Mt street cred is slowly gong down the drain, I can already recognise that song that won the XFactor, and Lady GaGa

When I was programming, I had to work in a silent room.

The only time I have worked with a radio on was when I worked in a shop on Saturdays when still at school. And that was only on very low.

I'd up your rate if I was you, having to put up with that tulip is above and beyond...

I refer the honourable member to the post I made a few weeks ago

When I were a lad cable jointing 4000 quad cables I'd have a radio on the cricket up top of the hole.

Very useful, 'cause if I didn't get a joint quite right the noise would blat the radio.

Apparently it was quite against the rules to have a radio. So I redefined it, it was not a radio for listening to cricket: I called it my "PCM detector".

In Germany its quite common for people to have a radio on in the office and for them to open the windows in the middle of winter and bugger off for a coffee

start humming and mumbling words loudly to all those R1 quality songs until someone turns it off. Obviously it works better if you dont know the words or tune.....

[original PM]

hope they have a public broadcast licence or whatever is needed to play radios in the work place

When I worked in a darkroom I used to have Radio 4 on all day.
But Radio 1 would drive me nuts - thank God for ipods and Rammstein

we've got sky sports on LCDS's all over the place with sound off. Anyone know of a way to take audio feed from sky and pipe to my earphones via pc?
