Call me a 38 year old fuddy duddy, but I have to rant..

I have to sit in an office and listen to one pop station all day. I have grown to despise Rhianna, Bruno Mars, Beyonce, Katy Perry, Jessie J and Adele as they make up 90% of what's played.

I share an office with six others of around my age, and specifically the two women enjoy the radio on.
I don't know how grown adults can sit at work all day and listen to 20 songs in rotation, it's driving me round the twist. Much less hum along to the tunes!

It's so utterly brain dead..like there aren't other decent stations around they could chose from..they go back to the same old one.

Even if a few of the songs are good, the fact I hear them multiple times a day just means they're ruined for me and I utterly resent them.

I do wonder how the DJ's cope with their job. They're given these twenty songs and told to play them for weeks on end.. It would send me insane.

I'm not asking for a solution, but just wanted to vent. :-)
 
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like doing work all day, so I'll leave a msg on OC uK
Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything.
 
Eh what the hell kind of office allows the radio to be blasted out to everyone whether they like it or not? Surely they could listen on their computers on headphones? Would drive me crazy. Productivity must be awesome!
 
Just do it.

I've never been afraid of the highest heights or afraid of flying now.

We listen to absolute or magic during the week and then kiss fm on fridays to prepare for the weekend!

:eek: :( That's just cruel.

Ask them to stick radio 2 on as the DJs there pretty much have the freedom to play what they want rather than a set playlist. The two women might well realise they'll still hear 'new' music along with lots of other stuffs thats stood the test of time.... ie still sounds good even though it isn't new.

Better than the above, but Jeremy Vine and Steve Wright give me urges to hit things.


Change it to Radio 4 or WS, I bet they'll never notice the difference :).
 
Cant you stick some headphone in to your machine and play your own stuff? I cant imagine in an office that has a radio on all the time you would need to hear whats happening around you?
 
I'll see your pop radio station and raise you a radio WM. Slowly crushing my spirits one day at a time. I've never hated anyone as much as I hate Ed Doolan

This made me lol your ocuk version of the Bruno Mars Lazy Song :p

I plug earphones into my laptop and listen to Spotify so I drown out all the noise :)
 
It's Capital FM today, but close enough!

Since posting I've heard Rhianna three times, that dirge from Adele, Jessie J twice and that 'new' Jennifer Lopez one..

Thank goodness I leave in half an hour.
