i-pod or my-pod

I work in a small law office and usually it is so overly quiet in here I can almost go crazy listening to my own thoughts all day! For the past couple of days I have been working with a client preparing some documents that are to be submitted to the judge at the end of this week. Well, yesterday he had on his i-pod while we were sifting through files. At first I was fine with him listening to the music because I was so busy I hardly noticed. Pretty soon, as I began to slow down a little and spend more time compiling notes, I could hear the music more clearly. His play list was very good, nice and rounded between all types and genres of music. I found myself wanting to sing, but needed to remain professional. It was hard to remain still and pretend as though I couldn't hear his music.

Then Beyonce's Single Ladies came on. Now, whether you hate that song or love it...the tune is catchy, especially when cooped up all day in the office going through boxes upon boxes of files. I couldn't stop myself and found myself jamming to the tune, apparently more loudly than I thought....he looked up at me and we both burst out laughing!

I was embarrassed beyond belief!! Good news is that he had been FOUR hours late to meet with me so I was a little ticked at him...after that outburst of song I wasn't mad anymore (but I'm still embarrassed)! LOL

Guess I need my own i-pod, or maybe not!

Try Pandora - you can create your own station. I listen to this at work and love it!

When I am in the office in the eve or on the weekend, I always listen to pandora.com too! LOL That or I steal my hubby's i-pod.

There are SO many good, inexpensive mp3 players nowadays if you are looking toward that option though!

this is funny, because Sweetheart just bought me an iPod for his birthday, and I took it to jury duty with me... and I started jamming without realizing it, too.
