Music+Logical Reasoning = Insanity


When the same tune plays over and over again in your head, you will get a really pissed Momo. Ever since one of my colleagues in the office sings the Elmo's trademark song, it keeps recurring in my mind.

la la la la, la la la la, elmo's world (2X)

My mind operates in music mode most of the time, if Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences applys here.

This reminds me of a meeting in my previous office. The boss wanted to multi task by listening to a compiled CD while having a meeting (and a really fire-fighting style kind of meeting, mind you). Not only could I not concentrate, I was $%^& darn frustrated. There you are talking about some non-music theory about 'The Seven Habits', and there you have music (some classical music for an event) right next to your ears. What do you want to hear? The affective or the logic?

I looked around, the others were not facing the same frustration as me. Whoever says classical music puts you at ease also doesn't apply here. The meeting was quite an opinated exchange between many people. Please tell me that there are people like me out there.
