    Default Listen to music while you work

    Does anyone have any good ideas for a job where you can listen to music while you work?
    Cheers

    trades, being a bricky listening to classic rock was awesome.
    and working at the poultry place, it was hanging choocks whilst listening to Bay FM, was shit, all of there music was just sooooo annoying, and there DJ deseves to be stabbed, not funny.

    Right now in my office all I can hear in the background is an out of tune busker who is banging on some sort of bongos while someone else is on the guitar. I have to put up with this every Thursday as they busk outside the bank (differant mob each week.) It's awful.

    Rest of the time I have cd's cranking.

    That's it, I am going out there to tell them to STFU. I am over it today.

    What ever I decide to put on the sound board really. Mostly try to play what customers like though. When the boss is here he plays non stop country music though drives me bonkers.

    you could always listen to music all day on the dole =P

    working with a radio on as a sparky definately makes the day go by faster, and makes it so much more enjoyable.
    especially after listening to loud machines running all day for weeks straight going, bang, clang and thump.
    how about we make the pedals out of sticky rubber and the shoes with steel spikes. at least my shins would like that

    Definetly building sites. We've always got tripple j on unless they are playing too much wack shit. Beats listening to the same 10 songs over and over and over and over on all the other stations

    How about a Record Company Representative/Executive? Listen to sample tracks and demo tapes all day long. Or how about a recording studio "Sound Engineer"?

    We're allowed iPods/mp3's etc at work, but because we use walky talkies, we can only have headphones in 1 ear & they have to be low enough so we ca hear our walkies, but I usually just listen to music off my iPhone's speakers while doing stationary work etc

    i remember counting on fox one day when i was doing some work experience back in the day.
    they played the same song 6 times from 9am to 5pm.
    every day of the week.

    and it was a pain of a song to. so 30 times in 1 week!

    Can't stand having music on whilst I work. Find it very distracting.

    Meh, I prefer to work on $100,000+ engines and earthmoving machines.

    That's pretty rewarding.

    Not bad on the hip pocket either..
