Re: AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!

That is so very frustrating. As I write this post, I am giving up on
a CD recording, something I don't like doing, but I ain't a magician.
The quality of the audio is horrible because the recording device is
too far away from the speaker

In this instance, the speaker is a Federal Government official giving
a speech before an audience in a very large room. You can hear his
voice, but it is difficult to make out the words.

It seems to me like the person who is holding the recording device is
sitting at least 20-plus feet from the speaker. He most likely turned
the volume up on HIGH. The audio is over-modulated. It sounds as if
this guy is speaking in a large tunnel.

I echo Ed's comment: AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!

On a good note, I notice today that my posts on Google NG are being
posted right away as opposed to waiting several hours before they
appear. AND, of course, one thing to be happy about today is TGIF!

OK, now the wonder-dictatress NP that I had complained about earlier has
added a new trick to her repertoire of things that infuriate me.

In addition to her total inability to express coherent thoughts and
sentences, she now has acquired the habit of moving the recorder closer and
farther away from her mouth so that I have to constantly adjust my volume
setting in order to either hear what she's saying or prevent having my
eardrums blown out. That's bad enough in itself, but it's also really
slowing me down.

I'm really going to have to concentrate on centering myself and approaching
her in a calm and constructive manner about this because I've realIy had it
and I'm very tempted to do the opposite.

thanks for listening,
