Caught relaxed vibing to music by my MD

The "glory moments". This is a term that I have created for those short moments of around 5 minutes where you want to chill after working hard on a specific task (loved them during the uni days, used them a lot when studying).


To put you in context, I am one of those guys who enjoy listening to music while working, as it helps me keep a good productivity and attitude. To be more precise, I tend to use Soundcloud as it has some good playlists with great remixes.


After finishing a project which had taken some long time, I decided to start a glory moment. Kept the music flowing and relaxed on my chair looking to the birds through the window. Tiësto - Adagio for Strings was playing. Oldie, but gold.


After this one, a new random song from that playlist whose first seconds I did not recognize (heard some sort of wind noises) started playing. Then, right at the moment the song started playing I heard some kind of voice. I turned on my back: our MD, who wanted my help for something.


Then looked back instantly for a second on my screen. Song playing: Rihanna - Only Girl in The World. 


Have I given a bad image of myself? Due to the mask I cannot tell at all, but pretty sure the MD was about to start laughing lol.

I think the only way to fix this situation is to grab your boss an apologetic ham & cheese lunch from Arby's.

Nah, as an intern, I picked up a networking call from an MD but didn’t turn off my music in time (forgot what device it was coming from). We just had a laugh about it and he thought it was cool that I used music as method of keeping me more productive.

(Btw genre was rap about gangs etc could’ve gone upside down quite quickly)

 

Tiesto - Adagio for Strings.... You know what is good man. Wish you all the best in life

 

I'm also worried about this - joined a call listening to loud Kpop, didn't realize I wasn't muted. It was playing for a good 20 or 30 seconds
