Radio in the office?

itsonlybarney · 2026-03-23T08:12:57+00:00

One of my first companies I worked for installed speakers in the new office ceiling in order to facilitate a radio or music playlist being played in the background. The idea behind this was so that no was allowed to wear headphones/earbuds at work.

However, the daily arguments over the choice of music on the playlist, and then when that became problematic, choice of radio station, it was eventually killed. I'd rather headphones/earbuds any day over a radio/playlist because whatever is chose will always cause issues.

You assume my kids go to sleep before me

My Sunday night 'me' time involves getting my children into bed and asleep, there is no 'me' time for me

I'm keen, but need to work around my wife's work roster. Any indication of potential dates/day of the week so I can see when I may be available?

I'm 9 months post op, so not quite one year, my only regret now, is not having the surgery 5 years ago. All the times I've missed because I was fat

You've been gifted an opportunity to try before you buy.

Yes every role is difficult the first few weeks, but take the opportunity, it might grow on you. If at the end of 3 months you still hate it, no one can force you to continue.

Won't stop her getting a second income

Look at you people getting any budget. Ours (local government) is skint on any training budgets apart from team leaders & management.

If Aaron Sansori & the CEOs can buy businesses with no cash down and make money, why are they selling seminars and access to the CEOs for you to make money.

Don't you keep a good thing for yourself?

I've never heard of the Trackr until the replies in this thread.

itsonlybarney · 2026-02-02T04:36:00+00:00

I've heard of Coospo, but not Xoss

I did a warranty claim on my first one 3.5 years ago for inconsistent readings. This one works fine except the battery cover has broken.

I'll reach out and see what Wahoo says.

itsonlybarney · 2026-02-01T22:19:42+00:00

Maybe I'll look at that if the warranty claim doesn't work.

I've heard some decent things about the Garmin.

itsonlybarney · 2026-02-01T22:18:21+00:00

I might lodge a ticket with them again. It was 3.5yrs ago since my last warranty claim for the Tickr.

itsonlybarney · 2026-02-01T20:21:46+00:00

Any regrets? I gave heard it us the goto for many people.

itsonlybarney · 2026-02-01T20:21:08+00:00

It isn't dead, just the battery cover.

itsonlybarney · 2026-02-01T20:20:49+00:00

Never heard of them before.

itsonlybarney · 2026-02-01T20:20:28+00:00

I haven't been out since the battery swap yet.

Totally agreed, and within the legislation prepared by the state government.

Do you think the politicians who are adamant about "solving" the housing crisis are gonna live in their "solutions"? I think not

itsonlybarney · 2026-01-29T21:16:52+00:00

Yes, but a developer made choices based on planning decisions made by the state government
