Something about silence makes me sick
#1
I was told by my general manager today (an overweight, overmakeupped, overrated 51-year-old) that I can no longer listen to music in the office with explicit language in it because:
"Tony quit and filed for unemployment, which he shouldn't have gotten, because he quit, but then he said that he quit because he felt uncomfortable because we sent office email jokes with crude content. Then they gave him the unemployment which we have to pay, which is total bullshit, because as we both know, Tony quit because he got a new manager who wouldn't put up with his calling in sick half the time So, because we need to make sure that we're not making anyone uncomfortable, you can't play music with explicit language in it anymore. I don't have a problem with it, but other people might complain."

Now, here's why my general manager is full of shit:
She does have a problem with it, but her problem isn't the language, it's the punk guitar and drums. She swears all the time, so I doubt she has a problem with that. She does have a problem with anything that isn't light rock or something someone on American Idol might sing. One of the secretaries probably has the same problem. They both watch all of the popular adult dramas, and they about them in the morning and live vicariously. Anyway, it's total bullshit, and my manager is one of those women who use power and excuses in a way they think is subtle and opaque. It's not enough for her to attempt to conform me, but she can't even give me a straight non-hypocritical reason, and that's what really pisses me off.
