The one unshakeable reality of working from home is that you are afforded the luxury of true solitude. Now, it depends on your constitution if this is a good thing or not. With no outside influences and with little suspicion of being spied upon, you can learn a lot about yourself. This is very much similar, in fact, to driving alone.
Among these great discoveries is the truly awful music that you have never heretofore admitted to loving. You know, the song that makes you roll up your car window so you can jack the volume without incurring the scorn of those within earshot. The song that never fails to enchant you after a dozen beers. The song that you impugn your girlfriend for loving yet silently celebrate when she plays it. Yes, that song.
You may fight it at first but don’t bother. You like what you like and no amount of shame can conceal it. You can hide from others; just not yourself.
Here is a small taste of what can be heard from the other side of my office door on an average day. Here are 8 awful songs that I secretly love (and you probably to, too).
8. Ace of Base – The Sign
7. Nickelback – Photograph
(Extra appreciation here as it sounds like my full name is being said at the 0:13 mark).
6. Snow – Informer
5. Meat Loaf – I Would Do Anything For Love

I only agree with 1 & 4. The rest truly blow. Even after a bottle of whiskey!
Except for the last one which I will begrudgingly admit to liking, those are some truly hideous pieces of music.
p.s. I will also admit to loving Roxette’s “Must Have Been Love”… so my taste is not much better.
Love the blog btw. Nice work.
Dude, I think this post shows that you must return to an office double quick. That you enjoy Ace of Bass, Roxette and other such musical panaceas, and yet there’s no mention of Def Leppard, only goes to show that within Montreal’s city limits you have acquired a strong, and potentially dangerous, case of cabin fever. I urge you to stop now, it’s not too late!
