Funny you should mention that. To me, I treat the shop much the same as I do my motorcycle riding in that respect. I ride with no tunes playing in my ears and not a drop of alcohol until after the bike is parked for the day. It's an activity that demands my full, complete and unadulterated attention. In the shop, I've worked in some places that played the game of "Battle Of The Radios" among employees, and those that simply forbid radios and any earbud I-Pods. Less scrap and more productivity in those shops that banned the distractions, for sure.

Don't get me wrong, I like music and a good Sam Adams Lager. I just prefer a good listening and drinking environment, and for me that's not the shop (as long as machines are running.)

Another one of those personal preferences of mine, and we all have our different ones. ;)
