I must have done
something to really please god (besides not working at a porn store) because
the owners installed a satellite radio system to replace the
24-soft-rock-comilation CDs that usually play in the store. This came about because
of the inevitable death of the CD changer. This death may or may not have been
caused by the clerks covering the ventilation holes of the protective box that
prevents anyone from touching the CD changer. For more details about the
constant struggle against the soft-rock hell that was this CD changer, refer
back to my previous post Music in a Porn
Store.
So while we’ll
still be subjected to “romantic pop” and “soft rock party” while working at the
store, I optimistically expect there to be at least a greater variety in the
selection of songs played. The only thing worse than having to shit music is
having to listen to the same shit music over and over again.
They’ve even
programmed the “classic rock favorites” channel to play between 3 and 5 a.m.
for us to clean to. I know this is a really sad thing to get excited about, but
I’m glad there will at least be a change of pace in the music playing here.
Bill’s
incredibly large and poorly constructed wooden box that used to house the
24-disc CD changer has been replaced by the small satellite box. Unfortunately
the only way to change the stations is to access the system with the official
remote, which Bill has locked in the safe. I was able to read the instruction
manual and apparently, programmable universal remotes won’t work on the system.
This is a shame because the manual had a full list of stations and there are
about 100 I’d rather listen to than the stations that have been programmed in.
I’ve already
asked my coworker Dustin, the guy who reads thick books entitled Physics in his spare time for fun, to
look online for a way for us to create a bootleg remote and change the channels
to what we actually want to hear. I’m not sure if this is possible, but if
anyone can pull this off, it’s Dustin.
