- >Would a CD player with earphones help?
-
- Yes, it would. Unfortunately, I'd have to shell out my own precious
- piasters for one, which I'm unwilling to do at this point -- given that
- the Annual National Spendfest is looming on the temporal horizon.
-
- Peeve: Christmas. Just as I'm starting to recover financially from last
- year, it comes around and knocks me flat on my ass again. I'm no
- Diamond Jim Brady when it comes to gifts, nor am I a pauper, but mein
- Gott!
-
- Anyway, maybe, if I play my cards right, I can ger one of those
- desktop X-option CD-ROM players. I have a Walkman to last me in the
- meantime -- I use it for listening to Rush Limbaugh in the morning,
- and NPR some afternoons. What I need to buy is a set of those old-
- style, clamp-on-your-head earphones so I can tune out my officemate's
- telephone conversations.
