But she's a bit of a depressive, and a single woman, and I suspect she is under-touched in her life.
Even if that's true (or perhaps especially) it's highly inappropriate for her to compensate that at work without some sort of understanding.
Oh, god, my hair is so long, y'all. It actually curls. My barber just sent out a mass text that she's out of hospital. Uh? Seizures? What?
I have a problem with iTunes. It needs more stars. I am trying to go through and rate everything, but I need more categories. I currently have:
- []-not yet rated
- [*]-don't want to hear it again
- [**]-okay, if you're playing the whole album
- [***]-well, this is nice
- [****]-oh, hey, this rules!
- [*****]-you don't understand, I fucking love this song
I need a rating that says "play this again and I will cut you, but I'm too obsessive completist to delete it" and one that says "BEST FUCKING SONG EVER FUCK." Where do I send the suggestion?

That's what the tickybox is for in iTunes.
I am a toucher but only with people who want to be touched. DJ has the right idea.
Don't feel like you have to make allowances for her just because she is depressive, single and potentially under-touched. Your need for personal space and a touch-free zone at work is no less important.
I don't think I've ever seen you with anything but short hair, flea.
That's what the tickybox is for in iTunes.
No, the tickybox is to say "I might still really like you, but you don't belong in a random song rotation." My unchecked stuff still gets starred--it's just mostly spoken word.
Also, it is (or was) possible to rate songs in iTunes in half-star increments.

it's just mostly spoken word.
That's what the genre field is for.
Since I tend to yelp when I'm startled, it provides consistent negative feedback to grabbers and people who walk into your cube talking loudly.
My coworkers at HM learned to stand back from my cube entrance and say softly my name a couple times when I looked to be intent on a program.
Jesse, thanks -- I should write them! There can't be that many knitter/programmers out there, can there? (say no.)
That's what the genre field is for.
Too limited. Too many different genres of spoken word, as well as "mostly" spoken word. Not just only. Some classical music also goes there. But not all.
I have one song I deleted off my iTunes because it gives me an anxiety attack to listen to it, and I'm not going to ruin my composure by any combination of circumstance throwing "It's Too Hard To Say Goodbye" at me.
That's interesting, Tommy. I wonder if you can make playlists based on half stars.

Yeah, I'm curious about that too.
I'm not sure if you can assign half-stars in an iPod, though.
