[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 130046, member: 3626"] That's why I always have something on in the background -- tv, radio, cd, I don't care but not silence! It blots out my mind, the music, the private chats, the to do lists, the oh-my-gosh I forgot to do, ad nauseum. I've learned to have one ear focussed on something around me (other people's conversations, a bird chirping, whatever) and the other on the person I'm actually speaking to. Of course, this can cause some interesting conversations at times. I'll never forget telling my boss that he should dump his wife since she's having an affair and he knows it. (He's gay, no wife in the picture whatsoever.) When I explained I was talking to him but listening to my co-workers, he started laughing. It helped that I could repeat the instructions he had just given me and the fact that we'd been a team for 6 years so was kind of used to my off-the-wall comments. He'd just never known where they came from before. Hmmmm, maybe I should go back to the music in my head and private convos? It's a thought. [/QUOTE]
