The designer I sit next to is listening to his discman today. Twice I have started a conversation forgetting he can't hear me.
I have to throw things at him when his phone rings.
Why am I posting this?Thankyou to whoever listened.
However, I do sympathise with you Jo.You are proof open plan offices encourage listening to music with headphones on. Does anyone in your office walk around talking loudly on their mobile?
Should we be on the Pet Hates thread??
What would you do if you worked with a deaf designer?
Why am I posting this?
No headphones in my office. My co-worker listens to the Gotan Project and India Ari and many other cool artists loud and proud. The Gotan Project being a band that Toby Wan Kenobe plays frequently. Imagine my surprise when it came on and I said "but that's JANGO music!"
Learn sign language
Don't deaf people understand having things thrown at them then?

I have a very short attention span and listening to the radio (with one earphone) keeps me working for ages and stops my mind wondering.
I can still hear people (if they talk to me) and answer the phone (but not at the same time).

If he's deaf, would he be listening to his discman?
Maybe he just likes annoying people in offices and on trains.
Perhaps I am just jealous?
If I worked with someone who was deaf, I would like to think that my employer would at least have considered the implications, either by ensuring they can lip-read or teaching me sign-language. I would then be perfectly happy to get their attention in another way, and I'm quite sure that they would not have a standard phone, but one which was adapted to their needs, and they would be aware when it was ringing.
Someone wearing headphones is not naturally used to people trying to get their attention, and are not in posession of adapted phones at work to know when its ringing, they just choose to be unapproachable. You can't possibly compare this to someone who is hearing impaired (which I believe is the politically correct term).
Nothing wrong with that, by just having one earphone in, you are perfectly contactable.Now Now....It's been proved that listening to music in an office environment increases concentration and improves productivity.

I currently have an office all to myself.
I have peace to work, I can put on my music, I can do anything I want to.
I'm soon (any time between now and 2010) to be sharing a new office with four or five other people.
I'm not looking forward to it.

I make the comparison In the interest of being silly. Therefore I'm allowed.
Typical Mooncalf!
Now what? My point was to examine your behaviour - to question your actions towards people by making a silly comparison. It's called reductio ad absurdum. I think we understand that. It however makes me look stupid in the process. Then I am stupid so it's ok.Typical Mooncalf!
