I don't ask alot, Lord. I will suffer along with the rest, silently accepting of my lot in life. I will look favorably upon those less fortunate, and deal with mercy those who cannot understand, but please, PLEASE, take me from this unholy time that is Christmas music at work!!! It just keeps getting louder, and more pervasive within my mind. It pushes all thought process aside, turning my nerves to fire brand sensitivity.
I don't ask much. Just this simple favor. Just because your kid came back from the dead doesn't mean us mere mortals can withstand any form of brutal punshiment in the name of his birth. Please smite the hellspawn CD players which crush my will.
help.....
Happy Holidays just the same all

Thank the lord for not working retail anymore and having to listen to crappy pop stars ruin Christmas tunes.
Merry Christmas!

Actually, I am a supervisor in production at a manufacturing facility. Management pipes it everywhere, but it is BLARING in our area, and barely audible in the office. Normally loud out here, but half the force on vacation, so only 40 or so left out here. Mutiny is in the air.....

ROFL!
The only think I will be happy to see go, after Christmas, is our virtual socks. We have these socks on our tree in the office. Everyday, a chocolate monster fills them up. No matter how much I eat, it still stays full!
Thus the term, virtual sock. It is virtully always full of chocolate. It is a bottomless pit of chocolate! And it yells at me when I pass it by. I swear I can hear the little bugger screaming at me!

Manufacturing Facility, Hmmm? Claim that the loud Xmas music is a Health Hazard!
I believe that OSHA set a maximum exposure level/limit for noise in the workplace. I run Bulldozers and Front-bucket loaders for a living, and they always have a box of earplugs for us to use. Tell them the music contributes to an unsafe working condition, and that it has to be remedied.

That's funny. The company I work for, in our office that just closed in August, used to get (I kid you not) TONS of food gifts from vendors and clients. Literally, the entire kitchen was full of candy baskets, fruit baskets, cookie tins, ugh... and CDW sends me a huge tin of sugar and butter cookies every year. I love everything about Christmas....except that.
Oh and the King Cakes in February... we didn't get many last year though.

I don't think this has the expected outcome. I got a home page of sound effects.

Scotty, you have to speak a bit slower for the mooks. Just FYI. :D

This entire week, every path to my desk has led through the office area for this reason. Most guys get in trouble for lipstick on the collar when they get home. Me, it's "Garlic? Again? When are you bringing ME some chex mix!??!" Because our HR person usually gives it out for gifts, but instead made vats for all here. Somehow, this becomes my fault...

Gary Hoey has outstanding Christmas music, I agree. Bob Rivers (Twisted Christmas) as well. Should have paid off the IT department to let me into the area with the players.

You dunt know women very well. If you walk in with a bucket load of chocolate, and offer it to her, the first and possibly the last thing you will hear is, "You trying to make me fat?!?!"
At this point in time you are about to become aware of the vice which is closing in our your manhood. No answer you can give will make that situation end well.
"No dear."
"What!!!! Are you saying I am already fat!!!!?!?!?!?!"
Stick to taters 88.
:lol

I worked in retail many many years ago. I remember one night after several hours of non-stop muzak, turning on the car stereo for the drive home. Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry" sounded like the greatest, jamminest tune ever written.
That's what that stuff does to you.

Whats wrong with listening to 500,000 different versions of Frosty the Snowman? :D

this season is the only time of year that i'm glad my boss won't let me have a radio in my money truck.

LOL, good one, Volvo.
Truth be told, I've got a MSc in physics, just resigned from the local church, being more of a believer in Big Bang than in God and all that, but I still like the family get-togethers. And I like the presents I get. :D
So...
Merry Christmas everyone.

I work for a HUGE company, am usually in the field, and spend 1-2 hours a day on the phone with them, much of it on hold--
there is ONE song on Muzak....ONE......."We Wish You a Merry Christmas" :O

I wish I had thought of that.
By the end of the day there, the employees were about to rebel. First, they thought to have me ask to sned them home early. (Wasn't gonna happen-they don't do squat after the long holiday luncheon anyway ;) )
Tehn, they thought to have a sentry, use MY computer, and send an email suggesting such to my boss. My assistant, who I had just finished telling my boss was great at coming up with improvement ideas, decided it would be better to use my boss's computer to send ME an email telling me to send them home early. He (my boss) and I both got a kick out of this. And no one went home early. :)
love that avatar, too, jb88
