When companies grow, it’s a mixed blessing. The company I work for is going through such. It’s great, we’re getting more and more people in our office. Our revenues and earnings are up. Bosses are happy. Everything is giddy.

But…the noise! I can’t believe how much has changed in the last month alone. I used to be able to sit and get a lot of work done in almost pure silence. Lately, it seems that the chatter has increased and the walls are closing in on this place. I love my job, I really do. If only I could get some work done without hearing an across office cackle or a group of belly laughs.

So, I am buying the SkullCandy Proletariat headphones from Amazon this weekend. They’re $55 currently and from the reviews I read they have decent noice canceling for a mid-range headset. Sure we’re not talking BOSE level quality, but then again I’m not breaking the bank to buy a $300 pair of headphones either. ANY reduction of noise at this point is a GOOD thing.
