Control Room #898

12Apr10

Things that always strike me as strange when I’m using the control room:

1. The size of my head. Every time I go into the box, the headphones are adjusted to a size that would fit a smurf, or someone with high ears, or something. Someone’s gotta work some voodoo magic on my noggin.

2. The phantom technology. People leave the “minidisc” volume cranked up. Who the heck owned a minidisc recorder these days? It wouldn’t surprise me to see someone running in with Beta tapes for dubbing. Is this just a nostalgic pod-up?

3. On occasion, the smell. Cold room. Hot garbage. Explain.

4. The “laundry” effect. Much like missing socks, I leave the control room sans pen, and never see them again.

5. The volume. What the heck? Why does one flak person sound like he’s in my head and the other one sounds like she’s in a silo on Mars?
