Self satisfactionBeing permanently glued to the earphones in office has its advantages.
1. I do not have to listen to the guys' stupid bickerings.
2. I do not have to pretend not to know anything. Not my fault what... I didn't hear anyone say anything!
3. Not my fault also that I have to use earphones. Who asked the boss not to get me a set of PC speakers?
4. I do not have to listen to He-Who-Sits-Behind-Me when he starts playing oldies or new-agey Chinese opera music.
5. I do not have to listen to He-Who-Sits-Two-Cubbies-Away-From-Me when he starts playing James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" or Benny Benassi's "Satisfaction" on repeat.

"...Push me
And then just touch me
Till I can get my satisfaction
Satisfaction,
Satisfaction,
Satisfaction,
Satisfaction..."
And then just touch me
Till I can get my satisfaction
Satisfaction,
Satisfaction,
Satisfaction,
Satisfaction..."
This morning I downloaded an old Blur song, "Charmless Man", and the more I listen to it, the more I feel that it fits the description of SOMEONE who pissed me off grandly yesterday.
So Mr. SOMEONE... this song goes out to you. May your life match every detail of the lyrics forever. *Self satisfied smirk*

"Charmless Man"
I met him in a crowded room
Where people go to drink away their gloom
He sat me down and so began
The story of a charmless man
Educated the expensive way
He knows his Claret from a Beaujolais
I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray
But then nature didn't make him that way
He thinks his educated airs, those family shares
Will protect him, that you will respect him
He moves in circles of friends who just pretend that they like him
He does the same to them and when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
He knows the swingers and their cavalry
Says he can get in anywhere for free
I began to go a little cross-eyed
And from this charmless man I just had to hide
He talks at speed he gets nosebleeds
He doesn't see his days are tumbling down upon him
Yet he tries so hard to please, he's just so keen for you to listen
But noone is listening and when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
He thinks his educated airs, those family shares
Will protect him, that you will respect him
He moves in circles of friends who just pretend that they like him
He does the same to them and when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
