Just the other day, when i got to the office i was informed that the desk top I was assigned to was changed. First thing I did was to check my mp3 file even before making a user account and defining my personal settings. My suspicion proved true, the new unit had no music in it !!!

Having music blaring in my ears helps me zone in on my work, besides having earphones discourages others from chatting it up.

Appealing my dilemma to our Technical Head, I explained that 'music is my office'. Being a nice guy, he shared his files, put it in D drive and wished me luck for the day.

After my shift, I pondered over my need to have music while writing. Call it a quirk, I think people who create for a living need their own background music.
