For the last seven weeks there's been a highway construction project going on right outside of the building I work in. So all day long CLANK...CLANK...CLANK...CLANK...CLANK...CLANK...CLANK...CLANK and along with each clank the floor of the building bounces up and down enough to shake my computer monitor around. The noise is annoying and the vibrations are giving me some kind of mild motion sickness. What a way to work. I'm almost ready to go hunting for a new job just to get away from this annoyance. I should see if I can use this as an excuse to work from home. |
Yeah. That is what I thought the thread was about when I clicked it too. |
And, don't forget to add that it may be harmful to (the employer's) equipment to be operating in that environment. Shut it down securely, and let you work from home, where the equipment, especially disk drives containing precious data, will not be subjected to vibration. |
I had the same problem in my dorm room first simester. I would wake up to the sound of "CLANK, CLANK, CLANK, CLANK......" at 6 am every morining. Its a good thing were not alowed to have guns in our dorms jk Get some earplugs, and if it gets really bad double up with shooting muffs. |

We had raised floors in some of our office buildings at Hughes and you could feel vibrations from carts or? going down the aisles and it felt like an EQ starting. Used to freak Californians who didn't realize it wasn't an EQ. That you could feel vibrations from a pile driver would be enough to drive everybody in one of those buildings nuts. |
