A work, we operate in a bit of an “Earbud Nation.” Each of us operating at peak efficiency, while listening to our personal audio selection.  Well, my co-workers, they’re efficient.  I do my best to keep up.

For me, my audio stream is the Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) triple play…  MPR News, The Current (adult contemporary rock), and Classical MPR.  No matter the mood, the right playlist.

Formulating how to tackle a project and make the world a better place?  MPR News.

Rocking a little spreadsheet action?  The Current.

Concentrating, while reading or writing?  Classical MPR.

Today, I was prepping for a meeting.  Writing down a few last minute notes.  I wrapped up, grabbed my laptop, and headed off.  Just one thing, I forgot to mute the MPR stream.

Suddenly, a blast of violin concerto greeted my office mates.  Stunned, my neighbor noted, “Dave is classy.”

And that, my friends, is the first time I have ever been called “Classy.” Thank you, Minnesota Public Radio for raising me to new office heights.
