So I've been inside a data center pod every day this week so far. And I'm starting to realize just how numbing the drone of about 50k server fans can be. Not to mention all das blinkenlights. I can stare at a rack with my eyes unfocused and just kinda trace for a few seconds. But i shouldn't be doing that cause I'm supposed to be getting trained on how to do my job.

@kelseyhusky I use active hearing protection with voice amp and 3.5mm audio jack for music when I'm alone in a DC.. helps alot with the noice and keeping me focused.

@wobblewuffess unfortunately, i'm not allowed to have any media devices in my red zones, all I get is little foamy earplugs and the noises in my own head.

@kelseyhusky Damn! I suppose that is security for you. Makes a lot of since when you have more than half a dozen people with physical access to your hardware.
