From the Newsroom to a Quiet Room
I’ve begun my new job and I telecommute - or work from home. For many reasons, like not having to drive in the snowstorm yesterday, it’s ideal. The noisiest place I’ve worked is in a newsroom. You have to learn to ignor noise. You have to focus intently on the phone conversation you’re on. The energy of stories and people rushing around meeting deadlines intoxicated me. It’s like living in Times Square. It fueled my ADD personality with a constant buzz. And this was just a college newsroom.
My office is in my home and well, it’s quiet. I realized how much I learned at Cymphonix by eavesdropping on the sales team. I relied on their conversations to get a quick grasp of our product and customers.
I have Skype conversations and chat. Still too quiet. I decided since I work for a company that hosts podcasting stations, I’m going to start listening to the internet marketing podcasts.
Speaking of podcasts, tomorrow (Thursday, Nov. 30) CopperRain is holding a podcasting class. It’s from 5-7pm at Provo Labs. To RSVP send an email to info@copperrain.com. There is no charge. Maybe I can learn to put my expensive MAudio to good work for more than just interviews!
