"My brain hurts."

[entelein]

I went up to Reception to cover the afternoon break, and the CEO's admin came by and neatly flicked off the power switch to the 'white noise' generator.

I instantly felt about 200% better.

"My brain hurts," I whimpered to her.

"I understand," she said, with a tone that indicated that the test was indeed a failure.


Whew.

Was it? WAS IT? Well, then, why are you wearing a chicken suit and standing on your head? HAH, didn't even NOTICE that they had you doing THAT, didja?

wait wait, they thought pumping white noise into an office was a GOOD thing? somebody needs to lay off the psychobabble books.

To be fair, this is the reception area, which is newly-remodeled, and has a huge conference room directly the other side of the wall where the reception desk is.

They have been concerned that there's not enough sound insulation/baffling, and so have been discussing white noise solutions so that the board of directors can meet and discuss and not have their words reach the reception area so easily.

Unreal. I know that the one guy turned it up loud on purpose so we'd hate it, because he's annoyed that the contractors haven't solved this before now. We've been tweaking the final bits of this for months now. Le sigh.

Just reading about this "experiment" makes my head hurt too. Crazy.

Nothing like a bad solution. Wait, it's everything like a bad solution.
