TV and music doesn't bother me unless it's SUPER loud. It's more things like clocks, appliances running, my son's toys, phones ringing.

My desk is next to a clock, and I know the phones will be ringing all day.

At home I can put headphones on and listen to music and have some control over stuff.

I have no control at work. Almost no one I work with knows I'm bipolar, so if I start messing with stuff I'll have to explain. This is going to be a looooong day.
