Random Acts of Music
Just now, a student crept up behind me and slipped a pair of headphones over my head. I don’t know her. She doesn’t introduce herself. Small voices, like backwards chimpmunks, say something inaudible to a hip-hop beat.
“I randomly subject people to whatever I’m listenting to,” says the student. I thank her “for the subjection” and she moves on.
I suppose it’s a good thing students at Seton Hill find me
so approachable. But I’m definitely filing this one under “
weirdness.”
The common denominator here seems to be your working late. Perhaps you should leave work earlier?
Well, it wasn’t TOO late when it happened. But yes, my wife would heartily agree that I should leave work earlier.
Yikes…creepy…this student needs to learn her boundaries. There’s a thin line between slipping on a pair of headphones and either a) a covering of the eyes and whispering “guess who, lover?” and; b) a garrotte wire around the neck.
