    There are times when I have felt that anything resembling a work
    ethic has all but disappeared. Most folks just want to show up and
    get paid for being there. I agree with your headphone views; the
    fewer distractions, the better. With headphones, a worker can listen
    to the music of their choice or simply white noise. I have a nice set
    of wireless headphones, slacker.com is always on, and I can burn
    through ten hours like it was nothing. Love it!
