The way out is through
Default The one nice thing about coming into work on a Sunday...

...is that it's dead quiet in here, and I tend to get a lot done in a short period of time.

However, today... there's like 10 testers in here working on something. So it's basically as noisey as usual... including the person right next to my cube that likes to leave the volume on her machine cranked to casino levels... i.e.
"way to fucking loud". Not to mention that because it's Sunday, there's no daycare, so she's got her kid here who's decided to comment on every little thing she sees at the top of her voice. I can't really blame her for bringing the kid, since what else is she gonna do, but I'm certainly not going to get much done this afternoon if I have to listen to "Survivor: the Slot Machine" with a 7 yr. old's play-by-play commentary at 120dB.

I've got noise cancelling headphones, and it's still not always enough.

No, they're noise cancelling, *and* they play music... but even that's no match for a slot machine 2 feet away that's playing at high volume.... plus, slot machine sound effects are GODDAMNED FRIGGEN ANNOYING!!
