Nickelback

I can't remember if I've mentioned this before, but my girlfriend's father just so happens to be my boss. He wasn't always my boss, but through a series of promotions I've received in other departments, he has since become my direct supervisor. This hasn't been an issue at all. He likes me, I don't mind him, and we pretty much could leave each other alone and be productive. It's been great. However, since they redesigned my office, they have relocated him IN my office. This is not normally an issue either, since it's a big room and we get along. Unfortunately, since we got those big TVs on the wall, he thought it would be a good idea to turn the Muzak from the PA system down, and to play his own music through the speakers. He listens mostly to classic rock, so I can tolerate it more often than not, even if it is the same whiny garbage all day long. Today, that tolerance changed. The first album he decided we were going to listen to today was from Nickelback. Disclaimer: I'm sorry to the fans of this "band", but I can't stand their music. It all sounds the same, and it all drives me mad. This is the WORST thing to start your day with. If I hear "Photograph" one more time, I'm going to go out in the parking lot and "accidentally" shoot myself in the chest on break. Too soon? When the torture finally ended, my ears were greeted with 3 Doors Down. Not on the same level as Nickelback, but in the same category. Needless to say, I was not having a pleasant morning watching him rock out at his desk to this terrible noise and not being able to say anything for fear of hurting his feelings. I'm not worried about getting fired for anything I do or say at work. I don't think they would fire me if I said anything I wanted to whomever I wanted. However, this guy is a little fragile some times, and thinks I'm "cool", so I don't want to make fun of him or hurt his feelings. It's a delicate balance I deal with, but that's another story for another boring afternoon at my job. I think I'm going to leave for the weekend now, considering I've had all my work done for 4 hours and it's 1:30 pm on a Friday. Have a good weekend!
