A day in the life of an audiophile

Keen auditory awareness can be a curse as well as a blessing. Whether it's the ascerbic TV when I'm pumping gas or the voice from hell "Don't forget to take your receipt" at the grocery store, life as an audiophile can be a challenge.

How about you?

You gotta be able to tune things out and get your mind to prioritize what it pays attention to

This is my super power as a musician.

@cdc Totally agree.  I don't think it's an audiophile thing, though. It has to do with the various technologies of this world trying to get and keep our attention. Some want to nag, some want to help, most want to advertise. Henry David Thoreau watched this happening, and it's gotten geometrically worse. It has spread to all our devices, appliances, etc. Everyone selling, all the time. (Thank you divine capitalism! You are so good! You are so great!) Your best hope of cutting down on these annoyances is, frankly, living a shorter lifespan.

I took the dog for a walk, worked, and then took the dog for a run.  A day in the life...

Maybe it’s from all those gas fumes you are inhaling. Time to get another job.

@viridian  and @hilde45  I'm working on it with those gas fumes, haha.
