So you are saying that you can measure the audio output FROM MY NOSE that's the result of my use of headphones?
Seriously -- point me to a reference. That sounds unbelievable. Regarding "I tolerate ambient -120 dB" -- what does that mean? That makes no sense -- if the ambient office SPL is, say 70 dBA (I would measure it in my office if I had my reference mic), then you can hear BELOW the point at which electrons no longer vibrate? Clearly you can't "read between the lines." Having used what was a clear and obvious exaggeration, several of you guys have jumped on that as a focus ... sad ... Anyways -- even if the Brian Eno was coming out of my nose, I doubt the guy sitting ten feet from me could hear it, given that there's a friggin' vacuum pump twenty feet from us! Which is why I wear the headphones in the first place!
And you don't like the desk phone because some asshole spent his office time yakking on the phone? Why didn't you complain to the boss? Or just tell him to STFU? phooey, -a The point is that if I give people a piece of work and send them away to do it, I don't have to watch/listen-to them being unproductive. If I get the work product, both quantity and quality, and on schedule, that I expect, I really don't care how they got it, whether it was by asking on 8052.COM or searching GOOGLE, or even doing the work themselves. BTW, there's no vaccuum pump in the office. It's in the lab, and that's where one would expect fans, the occasional noise from the desoldering equipment, and the shake-and-bake, though that's no longer part of the lab as of 8/20. As I've often said, not everyone fits in every situation. RE |
