Dragon, I have to have music playing all the time at work. I have an older boom box with the radio, an iPod speaker set-up, and a new pink Shuffle. I go nuts without music and if it's on the iPod, I skip around the songs. So from 7 AM to 3:30 PM it's on. Plus there's nothing better than blasting tunes while driving fast!!!

Anyway, it sounds like you need to get into a regular exercise routine to burn off excess energy. I find sometimes I feel like I'm going to crawl out of my skin at work. Here's a typical example:

Oo, email! Wonder if it's Melissa? Oh, it's Carlos. Let me bang out an email to Leslie. Okay Bloo, you need to focus. Do about 5 database entries. Oo, what's the latest gossip? Let's go to Pink is the New Blog. Oh, Trent hasn't updated. Wonder if I missed an email from Tory? Focus, darn it! Do 5 more entries. Any "Heroes" spoilers posted? Oo! Nathan Petrelli is HAWT!!! Why is France so far away? Get up and pee, refill water bottle...lather rinse repeat.

That day I was so freakin' antsy I couldn't stand myself. I burned off an hour on the elliptical plus a full circuit of weight training while listening to Fergie and Akon. And once I got home I vacuumed my bedroom. Whoa! But I felt so much better once I exercised. Sure, it makes me feel physically good but it also helps clean out mental clutter. But when I exercise I have to listen to music AND read a magazine or book.

Funny I just realised last week why I hate manicures. I love a pedicure since I can read. Manicures? I have to sit there doing nothing but listening to the rubber balls in my head.
