RE: FWD: Quiet workplaceIn the meantime, you can get noise-cancelling headphones. They aren't cheap, but they are just amazing. Stop by at a store that sells them and ask to try them out. I run into the noise problem all the time when I am trying to study, I have three teenagers and a multitude of cats. The noise-cancelling headphones were a bit pricey, so I tried out a pair that were passive noise reduction. (If you want the brand and model, email me offlist). I also picked up some of those "environments" type CD's. The difference is astonishing. The rain/surf/what have you sounds don't interfere with my concentration, but totally block out the noise (to the point that someone can watch TV right next to me without a problem) The particular headphones I have also has an independent volume control which helps--I can easily turn it up a little if the background noise warrants. They are a bit heavy, but I found it a small price to pay to be able to think. Z "What are we going to do tonight, Brain?" "The same thing we do every night, Pinky.
