I really hated working at Centennial. They had MUZAK and it was the same songs in the same order every 3 hours, everyday. Madness!

That's why I listen to talk radio exclusively now.

When the Macarena was big there was a station in Colorado that played that one song over and over, 24/7, for at least a month or two.

Amen to that.
It seems to get earlier and earlier ever year.
You know its too early for Cristmas stuff when my daughter complains about it.

I dont get in the mood to hear Christmas music till about 2 weeks before Christmas.
But they way they have it now.
By the time Christmas actually arrives Im absolutely sick of hearing Christmas music

Me too. I listen to talk almost exclusively.

Even the regular stations if you pay close attention play pretty much the same songs with only slight variations every day.

One station I noticed not only played the same songs (with the occasional request thrown in) every day. but at damn near the same time every day.

That was pretty much the last straw for me

with the thousands and thousands of songs out there. You would think they could go for weeks if not months without ever having to play the same song twice.

Yes but you cant escape the non stop ever tooo early Christmas music unless you never leave your home.
Go to the food store and its Jingle Bells
The hardware store has a complete Xmas display blasting out "Joy To the World"

And forget about going to a clothing store or a mall.
Its enough to make me not even want to shop

Yeah and not just the music either. Kinda hard to keep the xmas "mood" over 4 months.

If i could choose i would have it from december 15th to newyears and NOTHING before or after that.

I can dream.

I've started listening to audiobooks while in public on my MP3 player. When I went christmas shopping in the MoA a couple days ago, I was able to spend over an hour there because I was listening to Glory Road by RAH. My mall patience would have expired in about 5 minutes otherwise. This technique can be used to defeat ubiquitous xmas music too.

Bonus: You can accidentally not hear a salesperson who accosts you.

Now there is a better thought then the one I had.
My patience in the malls during the shopping season is about the same before I just want to start swinging a club at everyone.

This year I was considering going with a running chainsaw just to keep everyone away from me.

Ever notice there can be nobody looking at an item that looks interesting to you untill YOU go over to take a look at it?
Then and only then. 4 other people will try to shove their way in front of you to look at the same item.

LOL Im getting short tempered just thinking about it

I need no additional reasons to not want to shop.

This is my favorite time of the year.

Christmas music is on in my truck whenever I am not listening to talk radio.

On the other hand I hate when they bump Savage for a frikken blazers game. Who the devil cares about the fricken blazers? But now there is Christmas music and all the nice lights on houses on my route.
