Today, my mom hung her new "Christmas Clock" on the wall. It plays a different Christmas carol every hour, on the hour. It's only December 2nd and I'm already starting to understand why suicide rates sky rocket this time of year. FML

Try working retail. My work has a CD that's 45 minutes long and plays on loop. I work 40 hours a week, and stay there on my lunch breaks, that means I'm subjected to it 45 hours a week, essentially listening to the CD 100 times. If I hear Baby It's Cold Outside one more time I might snap.

Reminds me of 40 year old virgin..."[the same Michael McDonald sampler DVD has been playing on all of the television screens for the last two years] If I have to hear "Yamo Be There" one more time, I'm going to "Yamo" burn this place to the ground."

I'm sorry to hear your bosses are so poor they can only afford one CD. But aren't there laws against torture? It must be bad for business, because it already started affecting your math skills: 45 work hours divided by .75 CD hours = 60 times a week, not 100.

24 - I know how you feel. I work in retail as well. Not only do I hate the music and if I hear "Santa Baby" or someone trying to rap to "Santa Claus is coming to Town" but I hate the holiday because of the selfish, horribly mean people that has forgotteb

Time to claim that the music creates a hostile work environment for the store's Jewish employees. After all, Jesus' birth wasn't a good thing for them.

Don't be such a Scrooge Op enjoy that clock, it's Only around for the Christmas Season. You could be a Grinch and steal that clock and throw it away or take it and give it away.

Play some straight up gangster rap louder than the carols every 30 minutes past. If she complains just say, well I have to put up with your (shit) music so you can put up with mine. Heh Heh.

Suicide is the cowardly way to solve this problem. You neglect to mention that "novelty clock sabotage rates" also spike during the holiday season. Novelty lamps also see a high rate of unexplained breakage at this time of year as evidenced in "A Christmas Story."

Is there a volume control dial or an off switch to control the music?
