    As do I, although I have learned to dismiss it. Have you gotten to that point yet? At first however it drove me crazy. :sigh: Signature under construction.

    It depends on how busy it has been, if I have been really busy I can easily dismiss it, but if its a little slow it will drive me nuts.

      I see, yeah the same goes for me, the more people asking for stuff, the easier to dismiss the music. Signature under construction.

        At the risk of sounding grinch-ish, I am beginning my usual descent into fear of public places that play non-stop Christmas carols. I was out for brunch yesterday and was going loopy after about 20 minutes. Whenever I'm close to snapping, "come, they told him, pa rum pa pa pum" kicks in, without fail. I fear for my sanity. It's only the 8th. :~ Bianca Wylie

          I hear ya. <scrooge-mode>They ought to ban x-mas!</scrooge-mode> Seriously though, I hate the stress that fills the air this time of year. It's got a grip of me right now. I haven't bought any presents yet, and I wonder how much longer I can procrastinate. :sigh: -- I'm your turbo lover. Better run for cover![^]

                    It's not being a sour-puss at all. It's being sensitive to terrible terrible music. Christmas is lovely.

                        I think that the renditions and styles of Christmas music they pick are tasteless and sometimes annoying, but IMO it's better than what they have the rest of the year, so I don't complain. ;)
