I'm sure you could.

I do like to keep 'em guessing though.

He asked the doctor about it and the doctor told him that it was only the normal office "hum"...he'd just never been able to hear it before.

Not entirely true...I didn't ask the doctor about it; he mentioned it first. Apparently he was expecting more of a difference than he was letting on because for weeks everyone kept telling me that it wouldn't be a night-and-day difference.

Equally unnerving was hearing real cicadas instead of the ones my ears were generating (the ringing in my ears has alternately sounded like cicadas, birds, and/or a pipe organ), also crickets and frogs which had been absent from my hearing and went unnoticed for I'm-afraid-to-know-how-long.

At first, before they were adjusted I actually heard too well and couldn't use them around the house; unfortunately in search of a balance I still can't, mainly because of our dueling keyboards. Can't take them to rock concerts either.

Nobody should take their ears to rock concerts!

Not my ears, the hearing aids; though they have a built-in compressor/limiter like most rock guitarists have...10-band EQ too. These are actually the model worn by Stephen Stills, Huey Lewis, and a couple others.

I can take my ears to rock concerts; they already know the words.

I took my ears to a Formula 1 race. The rock concert (slayer&halford, not some soft guys) was nothing compared to 26 race cars trying so squeeze the last drop of horse power from the engines.

I'm contemplating which doughnut to have on my way in to work today!

kennyc · 12-02-2010, 07:52 AM

Mmmmm. Doughnut Day!

My favourites are sour cream glazed and chocolate glazed. (not the white doughnut with a chocolate glaze, but a chocolate doughnut with the clear glaze.) Or maple glaze. I also like the Crispy Creme original glazed...

I see now how you are having trouble choosing!

happy_terd · 12-02-2010, 09:23 AM

I guess I should get ready for work.

ShortNCuddlyAm · 12-02-2010, 09:41 AM

Trying to work out why I got so much more work done yesterday when I was working at home, than today in the office.

Latinandgreek · 12-02-2010, 10:37 AM

I took the day off as I can't shake off this fever and I'm feeling under the weather. I'm trying to get some translation done at home, but I really can't concentrate on my work.
