I work at a really boring office job and have nothing but time to listen to music which is what I usually do.. but by the time I get home I don't want to listen to anything (my records)... Right now I'm thinking about getting a Numark portable to listen at my desk. Bit afraid of annoying people directly beside me with the faint stylus noise tho..
Anybody else doing this?

^or a crosley revolution, sound burger knock off
I work in a music licensing agency doing computer database work.. don't think I'd be fired but it might be frowned upon
Were you going to ask if this is OK first?
I own two record stores and am a pushover to work for and there's no way I'd tolerate this.
In fact, there's no way I'd tolerate any headphone wearing - how am I supposed to communicate with you?.
But I wouldn't fire you, I'd just ask what the fuk are you thinking. And if I didn't like your answer then I'd fire you.
My job is pretty different, I'm basically human computer software, everyone here wears headphones and the boss only checks in a couple times a month. Her desk is in another building... If I was 100% sure I wouldn't have made the post, just wondering if anyone else is doing it. I think I could get away with it.
Love this shit! I remember a dude at my old work started talking to me about music. Records came up and he was like, "Really? You listen to records? I got a whole box I was going to throw out". He brought them in for me the next day! No raers, but some solid A-Z shit.
Everyone listens to headphones at my work so I know (apart from the awkward explanations for my actions) no one would be opposed to me listening to records at my desk. I used to bring a Fisher Price to my old job and people loved it. They thought it was so cute.
I used to work at a place very close to one of the best record spots in Tokyo.
It was also across the road from a really nice park.
I often went for small digs at lunch time, but my plan was to bring my GP-3
with headphones and do a 30 minute dig followed by a 30+ minute listen in
the park while eating a lunch box.
Would have been nice, but unfortunately the job sucked and I quite before I could put the plan in action....
Ha, I'm out of touch - I haven't had an office job in 25 years.
If you can bring records to work, things are a lot better now than they were then.
i suppose she COULD care less
This is my experience exactly. If people wear headphones at your office, I don't see any reason why having a turntable would be any different from listening off an iPod or computer or CD player.
One thing, I work in a lab so I'm up and down a lot, so sometimes I wear cheapo wireless headphones so that I don't stand up and accidently drag my turntable and raers onto the floor.
