The office is so damn quiet today that it seems like i'm in the middle of silent reading study hall. everyone's here but it's just quiet. All i hear is the occasional tickle of the keyboard and the hum of the air conditioning system.
Hmmmmmmm.
Luckily, there is a cure for the ear-numbing silence that afflicts most offices. for those of us not blessed with iTunes on our PCs, there's Pandora. Sure, you can always listen to your favorite radio station online, but with the buffering and static it's kind of an annoying inconvenience.
Pandora is a cool website that creates a playlist based on an artist, song, or genre. I am currently listening to the Lily Allen playlist which features Gorillaz, Cake, Frou Frou, Lush, Gwen Stefani, Peter Bjorn and John . . . and of course, Lily Allen. And ewww . . . Regina Spektor . . . I've was just able to skip ahead to another song. I've been switching between this playlist, the Morcheeba one and Ivy, of course. It's chill music for a hectic lifestyle. I call it more chick music to bug the guys in the next cubicle.
And being all about East Bay businesses and ventures I don't feel a bit bad about listening to this cool new venture, which I've been using for over a year. Wonder if it's gone IPO yet.
But yes, I do feel a pang of guilt for blogging at work, when I should be updating Excel spreadsheets, or doing something a little more productive. Hey! Everyone else is on Craigslist or Myspace right now. So, I don't feel so bad. I'm going to enjoy my tunes for another hour, sip my Jamba Juice - HQ in EB, as well.
