The Day The Music Died

The Epic Music Wars ended before there was really a chance for bloodshed.
"Management" informed us that we were no longer allowed to have music playing at anytime.
Huh?
Dude that sucks.
Vengeance was never mine.
The bigger picture though, is that now we are stuck in a windowless room for 12 hours without even the small luxury of a soundtrack.
Un-freaking-fair!!!
The detainees have radios and TV's in the camps. Yet I can't listen to music at work.
Should I be surprised though? I think in every job I have had, silly rules have been made by people who really aren't there enough to be making them.
It was the guy with the assigned parking spot at the mall who said employees have to take the shuttle bus from the offsite parking.
It was the district manager who had never actually worked in a stock room, who made us where shirt and tie, yet wouldn't reimburse us if they were damaged.
It is someone working an 8 hour shift in an office who tells the people working 12 hours outside that they can't send people home when they are not needed.
It is someone who doesn't even work in the building and comes in only a couple times a week for a few minutes at a time, who tells a grouped of people stuck in a room for 12 hours a day that they can't listen to any music.
All I can say is that happy soldiers are motivated soldiers. This is the sort of thing that causes undue stress.
Why piss everybody off?
Why punish us for nothing?
Who did the music hurt?
Why can't they just let us run our shift?
Why can't the Giants or the Kings win a championship?
Seriously. It is starting to get frustrating watching my teams fail to put it all together. I work with a lot of Bay Area folks so I have others who feel my pain. I remember every let down like it was yesterday...
In 1989 the Earthquake let the A's reset their rotation and Stewart and Moore kicked the Giants' tails twice.
In 1993, the combination of the fucking Padres giving Fred Mcgriff to the Braves for nothing and Solomon Torres getting shelled on the last day of the season kept a 103 win team out of the playoffs.
In the late 90's they kept losing in the first round of the playoffs to teams they had better records than; losses to the Marlins and Mets are prime examples of this.
Then there was 2001. Oh the humanity!! The Giants are on the verge of a historic World Series Title. Bonds is hitting home runs. JT Snow grabs the baby bat boy as he crosses home plate. Less than 9 outs from the title. Then Dusty out thinks himself. Brings in a reliever who gets absolutely shelled. Giants lose game 6. Everyone in America knew they didn't have a chance in Game 7. That was devastating man. So close.
Don't even get me started on the Kings. The might bring me to tears.
Speaking of tears. I am in a dead silent room. All I can hear is the whirr of the fan, the buzz of the lights, and the sound of the detainees in the other room watching the Incredibles.
