Some of you may have noticed that I occasionally refer to my place of employment as the TV Farm. That’s because the TV station I work for is located in a metal building on the edge of a field that grazes cattle. We get all manner of field critters in the building, either by accident or by design on their part, including a mouse that was in the upper corner of the sound insulation in the (very warm) audio booth with me this morning while I was recording a VO:

eek a mouse (47sec mp3 of audio booth hilarity)

PS: Yes, this is a very old drawing, but I’m at work, and he fits to nature of the post. This little guy first appeared in the Osprey to accompany an article about natural pest control.

Sometimes I’m not even listening to any audio when I have my headphones on- they’re not quite sound-isolating, but they do dampen the sound of all the computer fans, TV monitors, and bickering that are typical of the office environment. But it is SO NICE to have good headphones when I am editing audio, not that I’m particularly skilled at it, but I have a much better chance of producing something good now that I can hear all the little nuances. Yay headphones
