My Life, but maybe not yours

At work I can't take my cell phone in the building. Oh, and an MP3 player is a big no-no. For the most part, I don't mind the cell phone ban very much - I never use it at work anyway. But,

I miss my MP3!

Why won't they let me take my music with me? Often times I work in a very cold computer room. The room is noisy and filled with shitty electronic interference. I couldn't get a broadcast in there if I stood up on a table and held an antenna. It's not the music they're afraid of. It's that damned little drive that can't be watched 100% of the time. They're afraid I'm not really going to listen to music. Oh no! I'm going to sneak some company secrets onto that nifty little drive and sell them to the highest bidder.

NOT!

I would never do this. But then, I suppose someone else might. At least that's what they think. You see, I'm not being singled out here. I'm just one tiny little cog in the Big Wheels That Keep on Turning. This rule and about a 1000 others protect that information from some common weeny out there.

I hope it's worth it. Maybe I'll have to go out and get a boombox and some CD's to have some tunes.

That is so retro...

but they are sooo tiny- would anybody see it even if you did bring it?? Keep an archaic walkman in one pocket incase someone asks what you are listening too and pull it out :0)
I'm evil, I know.

Coffeedog - Working in a loud, noisy cold room can be sucky, but it's the nerd in me that really loves it.

Island Jen - I really don't want to go to prison... Or lose my job. They're more evil than you are!
