Hookers? Sharing needles?

Where I work, the only holiday music to be heard is whatever happens to be playing through the stereos we sell. The CEO and founder of my previous employer was Jewish, so we had Christmas and Hannukah themed music when I worked there. Our Jewish customers were most appreciative

the mall i worked in was considered a jewish mall
one year they only had breakfast with santa which you had to pay for and there where only a limited number of seats...
needless to saw the mall lost a lot of business that year

the store i worked in, peoples pottery, had sooo much judaica that i learned a good deal about the holiday and the items in they use...was interesting

Think Id be able to weather it. Normaly. Since that is what I do music I like (listen to it on a repeating track for days on-end). Too bad that I dont have a particular fondness for christmas music...

[Talen]

Ha, you wish. I dare you to give the dress to someone for Christmas and see what happens.

I did something similar one year. December 26th was a very happy morning, I got extra presents.

As far as the music goes...oh, dear gawd the muzak. At least when I worked in FAO Schwarz, they didn't do that. Thank goodness.

(And my current job is muzak-free, yay!)

[IK the Troll]

Why are there no Arbor Day songs?

I, admittedly, have a lot of Christmas music. However, it's all either sung by cats, or has had the words re-written to by songs about the Cthulhu Mythos.

[KiaKat]

Most of the Christmas music in my house is either classical, or sung by professional church choirs.

Hell, Midnight Mass is the only time I ever go to church anymore, and that's just so I can hear/sing the pretty music, and so I can be reminded of why I don't consider myself christian/catholic at this point.

A churcoh choir singing silent night. Preferably teen or pre-teens singing it.




Beutifull

[Falconess]

There are some songs I never want to hear again. Like Silent Night, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, and a few others, because I have coworker who whistles just one part of them. Only one, and it's every day, while the office is quiet. He can't just enjoy the quiet, no, he must whistle and tap and click and hum. I'm all for expressing musical talent, but for the love of all things fuzzy, learn more to the song or stop singing it!

Sorry, he just happens to be doing it right now, and I'm ready to strangle him....not to mention I've sent him 6 calls and he just ignores them, and continues humming

hmmmm sounds like you need that toy the hubby bought
launches small nurf missiles at targets via a program on your computer

that or better rubberbands and more skills at aiming in his direction

[Falconess]

If only there wasn't a row of cubicles blocking him from me. The sound travels, but the objects hit a road block

[KiaKat]

Hmm.

Perhaps a whoopie cushion when he gets up to go get more coffee or use the bathroom?

Or something else suitably embarassing?

[Kamn]

How about giving him another song to whistle? Wonder if he'd get addicted to Pirate lullabye too...

[Falconess]

Unfortunately, he's cut down on his coffee intake. I do, however, like to hollar across the office, "DUDE (in place of his real name), are you at your desk?" I've said a couple times, "Okay dude, I'm sending you another call, and you'd better be there this time." Last time he said he'd been sitting there for an hour, so I said, 'Hey, if you're whistling is so loud, you can't hear the phone sitting next to you, then maybe you should find a different tune, or whistle quieter." That tends to get him funny looks from the Office manager.

New songs would be nice, but the last time I suggested that, he said, 'you *can't* teach an old dog new tricks" pretty much telling me he has no intention of humming/whistling/drumming anything else.

Duct tape.

Works for everything.

[Jurgen]

I agree with the duct tape suggestion, failing that then look for Bananaphone (preferably Raffi's original version despite how thoroughly amusing Grim Saviour's death metal attempt was).

Christmas music at work annoys me, then again most music annoys me working a night club and having the same 8 tracks played 5 times a night with various bits added in and edited out gets really old really quick. I've even given up on Fairytale in New York, Christmas songs are now considered an abomination unto Jurgen.
