You should engage her in a basic hello/how's your weekend conversation for a minute or so, but look slightly up and over her shoulder. When she adjusts and moves into your view, say "hold on, something is up here" tap your ear bud and say "yes? can I help you?" to her.

That was a year ago and we have a new receptionist and my desk faces her general direction so she thinks I'm listening when in fact I only tune in when she takes a breath then starts up again "...but anyway..." and off she goes again.

Our receptionist is very chatty this morning and she doesn't have any other targets yet.

That would really piss me off.  (Depending on how far I got before I remembered.) Probably anything over like over four blocks or so

I repeat scenario with new higher level tech support.
They call and walk me through the steps to solve the problem.

Now it's happening again and I need to know how to fix it and did I write down the answer? I did not. My email trail is useless!

The person closest to the audio system controls the Spotify. It used to be a 20-year-old from Denver who had decent taste and had a pretty broad playlist set up. The guy there now is from here and ergo I hear Wagon Wheel approximately 25 times per week.

This may qualify as an OSHA violation.  You should file a complaint and seek redress.

Yesterday someone backed a truck into a utility pole and took out fiber to most of the town, ergo Spotify was unavailable to our salesman. After an hour of silence it dawned on me to check and sure enough, I could hit the bluetooth system from my phone, so I put RadioParadise on for the rest of the day. It went over well except there was a Fever Ray song that raised eyebrows. But alas, the internet is back on and I just heard Wagon Wheel.
