Pain in My Ear

A sure way to make me go crazy is to sit me on a conference call with some clients in China who are in a big room that echoes as they yell into the speaker phone, all talking over each other in Mandarin and English. Add a bunch of really loud Americans to the call and everyone talking over each other and my last good nerve is being stomped upon. Did I mention this has been going on for 2 hours and counting? (the agenda is barely touched) Last. Nerve. Is. Snapping...Painfully.
