Ooh an Amorphous Rant! ..  excellent! ... they can get really "Mad Hatter- Alice" 

I have a tiny rant about the radio stations around my town... it's a small town yeah so we only get a few stations that come in strong... one that's country, one that's a generic variety, a station with really new stuff, an oldies station and a rock station.

Here at work, we can tune the lab's radio to all of them clearly except for the oldies one (which bums me out tbh)... anyway, on daylight shift, everyone argues and so the only station that stays on is the one with the variety but there IS no stinkin' variety!!! They play the same 40 or 50 songs honestly... over and over and over... plus they have the "No Repeat Workday" from 9am to 5pm... but all morning before 9, they play all the songs that they are gonna play throughout the 9 to 5 time frame and it's like ffs, play some different stuff!!!!!!!!!! I am SICK to DEATH of hearing "Hello" and Justin Beiber and Taylor Swift and "Stitches" and Bruno Mars and it's like oh my make it stopppppp

At least on 2nd shift (which I work a lot) we can switch it to the rock station or the new stuff station... but even those two tend to get pretty repetitive. I wish we had some different stationssssss

I'm done now 

just aggrivate them   change the lyrics. im a HUGE ccr fan, i.e. most of my musical stash predates me. ( ill be 42 in jan) whenever ccr would say " who'll stop the rain"  ( i believe thats it, i would sometimes adlib  " who'll stop lorraine" that is unless im surrounded by a BUNCH  of CCR fans lol. course maybe not such a bright idea of  pissing off coworkers lol.

OH you're on the right track yama... we change the lyrics quite frequently around here!!! but it's for fun, not for pissing each other off 

Y'all need a portable satellite radio!.... tune in the planet!....

Or use a laptop to stream online stations!

Satellite radio would be perfect   

The internet idea well... the Red Cross has a policy that says the work computers/internet should never ever to be used for anything other than work... which of course, nobody really follows... but it seems that when anyone streams video or music, they catch it... and you get put in time out!!! lmao

got a few ideas , but no youd be out of a job lol.
Aaron

Make a formal proposal for the online radio as a staff morale booster that will help productivity and mental health!! ... then if its a no they are on record as denying/not interested in those 2 issues!

Its all in the words sometimes!

I couldn't agree more Janx 

But I'm pretty sure the ARC could have been on record a *thousand* times already for not caring about employee mental health or morale   

They DID however put up a bulletin board next to the one entrance into the lab where we were told we could put up pictures of family and pets... said that was to boost morale... and they increased the shift differential last week for peeps like me who work 2nd shift and the people that work overnight so that's really really nice.

In all seriousness though, there is no shortage of people bitching and complaining up here about the management, the job, etc but... truthfully I'd have to say I'm at least 90% happy with working here and I thank God for blessing me with ALL I have every day
