For some reason my manager doesn't want to spend money on custom moulded earplugs..cheapskate. We tend to wear a bog standard headphone things (just to point out I'm not a doorman - I work in a music venue that has all sorts of acts coming through from classical to 1970s reformed rock groups)<BR/><BR/>Nothing like being inside for a concert, turning your radio up to hear it and walking out into silence only to be deafened.<BR/><BR/>Also, squishy ear defenders are dreadful.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704418443026559998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735448.post-48199791873364142302008-10-21T12:09:00.000-07:002008-10-21T12:09:00.000-07:00an.otherdoorman,I use these routines to get me on ...an.otherdoorman,<BR/>I use these routines to get me on the ball even if I've not had enough sleep, rest, caffeine, fitness work, speed work etc to get that 'on-top of the game' feeling naturally.<BR/><BR/>Stuart,<BR/>I'll do a what's in my pockets post soon. As to ear defenders. I use an in-ear radio earpiece and to hear it without deafening myself I use a simple squish and stuff in the other. It fairly well balances so I still have spatial awareness while working and hearing after.Adoor Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596184579442687942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735448.post-59570155293910701052008-10-20T18:31:00.000-07:002008-10-20T18:31:00.000-07:00There is a small level of inebriation in this comm...There is a small level of inebriation in this comment, but I feel we can wash over that. When I start a shift on the door, my appearance and compusure seem to be the least on my mind; I worry about my energy levels, how much red bull I have consumed, the caffeine in my system; the adrenaline that is keeping me alert through the night and then as an afterthought my appearance comes into play; maybe this is why my colleagues and bosses are constantly on at me to get my boots polished.

And do you all carry first aid kits? Just seems a bit unusual to have extra bulk when it would be a minute away.<BR/><BR/>And do you get custom moulded ear defenders? Because of stupid new EU hearing regulations, we're told to wear ear defenders, but if I'm wearing a radio earpiece it has to be louder than the music anyway so I'm probably doing more damage to my hearing with that nevermind the useless foam ear defender rubbish.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704418443026559998noreply@blogger.com
