What is sometimes great and sometimes awful is the hold music. Normally we are not subject to it like the poor bastads who call in, but if during a transfer there is hold time we get it just the same. It is actually interesting to listen to, some departments have a markedly better taste than others. Maintenance always has the same crappy easy listening loop that is actually very unnerving for me. Billing has soothing music and so on, but Second Tier is special, under normal circumstances, the customer will never hear STS hold music, and for this reason it has sometimes really odd selections. Things i remember hearing have been Ryan Adams, the Ted Leo cover of Since u Been Gone and today Planet Rock by Afrikaa Bambaataa.

Lucky bastard.  There's only so many times I can hear the Diablo II themes before I get "short" with the person next to me.

Every once in a while, we get a new secretary that asks if she can bring a stereo in to add a little "life" to the place and everyone chuckles.

Then we cry.

I would kill a man for the right to not have people listen to music around me at work, but I find I'm in the minority there, unfortunately.

bbqrocks:
Some listen to metalcore/rock, a couple listen to rap and one or two to trance/house.

Whenever Modest Mouse's last album came out they played Dashboard about once a day which was ok. Our store mostly turns the radio off as soon as customers come in for some reason though. I'll agree with your closing statement.

I don't know if Dashboard is a Modest Mouse song or you meant Dashboard Confessional but either way I would've committed seppuku within a week. I feel kinda lucky I left when it was just RHCP now.

Let's just say fuck retail in general eh.

Katherine:
I used to work with a woman who listened to Celine Dion.  Loudly.  And before her was the one who listened to Billy Joel.  Loudly.  All. Day. Long.

Currently, I listen to music at my desk even though I share an office with two other people.  I censor what I listen to relatively carefully to make sure its non-offensive, and keep it at a pretty low volume so hopefully only I can hear it.  I had my computer speakers plugged into my iPod for a while, and it was heavenly, until I broke the speakers.  Now its back to Last.fm all day.
