Buffett and the workplace.....

I was wondering.....Do you listen to Buffett while you work? I am funeral directorembalmer and listen to Buffett all the time at work. When I'm working at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning I always have his music on. I was just curious to see if other folks listen while they work.

No, I am one of those awful people that dont like noise where I work, and make my staff turn their radio;s etc right down if I can hear them
(its good to be the boss!)

I keep hoping Six Feet Under will have a parrot head funeral.
I don't have a cd player at work, otherwise I would.

Yup---the kiddies nap to mellow Buffett about every day
I even had one child ask me to turn it up because she couldn't hear the words

Consistantly while I am in the office.
It kinda bugs everyone else, but they don't have a choice
in the matter. Besides that, what do I care!!

I'm a middle school teacher and always have buffett as background music during student work time. Had to burn a cd with songs that don't mention pot, sex, alcohol, or drinking in general. The class theme song this year is "Cheeseburger in Paradise", ok there is that "cold draft beer" line, but no one has come after my job yet. When it comes on, the kids stand on their chairs and sing it at the top of their lungs. I know the teachers around me just love it when that happens.

All the time. I have a stereo in my office and I have about 500 mp3's on my computer, so if I'm in my office, I'm listening to something.....Typically Jimmy

ALWAYS. ALWAYS. ALWAYS.
I've been listening to Live365's Permanent Vacation station for months.
Co-workers, friends and family are shocked to find that my cd collection includes non buffett artists (Bob Marley, James Taylor, Emmy Lou Harris and

Shania Twain)

I've got the 4 disc Bob Marley's greatest hits....pretty good tunes, except his real early stuff kinda sucks.
but Shania Twain....

She's great to look at, but best kept on mute

I wouldn't be able to get through the day without listening to Buffett at the office.

Absolutely, if not Buffett, then I am listening to either XM or stored music. When I left my previous job, I had over 1,000 mp3's stored on my computer.
