Without my buddy

I have a buddy at work; it's my earpiece, or headset, as some folks call it.

I always bring it with me to work from home; it's not like I listen to music a lot or motivational podcasts or comedies or whatever it could be; rather, I love having those tiny things stuck in my ears to allow me to enjoy my solitude at work.

What it does for me is amazing.
- I feel like I am blocked out from the world.
- Not listening to the chit-chats from folks,
- I have to be tapped when my attention is needed because they think I am listening to something.

That feeling is golden.
I have it on sometimes, and nothing is even playing into my ears, but at the same time, I can't hear what is being said around me. I am let alone with my earpiece on.
But today, I left it at home. I almost told the taxi to take me back to get it, though I let it go. Let's see what the day would be like without my buddy, the earpiece/headphones.
