BAGELS? NO THEY DON'T HAVE BAGELS. HOW ABOUT SOME NORMAL BREAD? HONEY, THEY DON'T HAVE BAGELS. THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE.

He's not a construction/maintenance/building engineer. Student lab only. I would be less irritated by he's listening to headphones and so has the ringer turned WAY UP so he can hear it when it rings. Which is kind of mind boggling.
But it's all pointless because a whole fucking gaggle of undergrads working on some ding dong group project have descended are are sitting next to me blahblahblahing about some business school bullshit.
I just feel so old sometimes - like it's some sort of monumentally old-fashioned concept that people might like a quiet environment for studying and anyone under 25 has evolved beyond that needs thanks to early exposure to frenetic TV programming while doing homework.
Anyway, I'm considering the murderous blind rage option. I'll let you know.

OTMFM
this is my beef with my roommate -- he'll be all "well, time for some studying!" and then park it on the couch, turn on the TV, and start reading. waht. also is baffled and a little hurt that i study in my room, with the door closed. he is 23.
don't get me started on the fucking ACTUAL TEENAGERS I have in my classes.

This reminds me of a time I was riding the train home, iPodless for some reason, and there was a guy going through EVERY. SINGLE. RINGTONE. on his phone, one at a time, and letting them play all the way through each time. So many people on the train were giving him the eye daggers, it was incredible.

It's letting other people know you're cool, is all. It's a mating call. A boomin' system. The kids love it. "Rude" is not a concern.

Yup, me too. They can be comic. Like "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" -- I like that one.

There is a limited amount/type of studying I can do with certain media distractions. For example, I can outline with sports on TV for example, because outlining doesn't require as much concentration and I am only marginalyl interested in sports. Also, I have learned to study with music out of self god damn defense but it has to be fairly smooth. But I cannot read law talking stuff with distractions - it's to fucking lame/boring/difficult.
I find intelligible live human talking and random loud noises (AS FOUND IN THE COMPUTER LAB RIGHT NOW) the most distracting.

Speaking of Bob Seger, though, I was at my cousin's house for a family dinner a few weeks ago, and my mom was talking about how great the iTunes Store is ... "Except the other day," she said, "I was trying to find some music by Bob Seger ... for a friend." She didn't actually mean to pause like that -- it was in fact for a friend (she claimed not to have ever heard of Bob Seger before) -- but I can guarantee you there was much ribbing.
I told her that she was probably misspelling his name, that it's just one E, not two like Pete.
