12:20 pm: There’s this little man that always plays Mexican guitar songs at Park Street that I’ve become accustomed to hearing (okay, and often ignoring since I normally have my own headphones in). He serves as pretty cheerful background music for the T… but I’ve noticed this other feller coming more often to perform. He does the singer-songwriter thing, which to say the least, has been done here in Boston. I’d prefer if they would get more variety and culture from the buskers. A few years back some politician wanted to outlaw the busking- not sure I can imagine the major T stops without it… and now it seems about the only venue for start-up musicians.
3:45 pm: I just brought my “iPod donut” (or the JBL circular iPod dock) to my office to help me charge my iPod and maybe even listen to music, but I’ve noticed something eerie about this office. No one listens to music out loud. Maybe I am just used to having worked at a music company for awhile and having multiple iPod docks going at a time? Somehow I could hear better doing support at the old office with music playing than I can in my new one without it- I think the acoustics are just different. The building make-up is mostly the same, but the desks are in a closer proximity and there are more people with jobs that require them to speak on the phone near my department. It’s a strange thing to think about, but I am hoping that we can maybe start a softly-played music trend- I think that it could serve as a big help to release some stress and tension that can occur- especially in my department (Tech Support).
