And before anyone tells me "well work is the wrong environment, blah blah blah", I'm basically given a task and told 'do your thing', and can go an entire day w/ little interoffice chat/communication, other than when I cue up albums.

I wish people would stick to email.
No, it's true. I have little human interaction in my job. Although I suspect I listen to a lot more albums than you do, because I got my success rate down to below 50%.

The trick is to listen to moar music.

When I first moved in with my current housemate, we played Scrabble pretty much every night for the first half year. We played online so I could listen to my music while we played.
